Wait, you can recycle tempered glass?
Tempered glass is recyclable but only at the manufacturing level. You can’t put it in your curbside recycling, but tempered glass byproducts can be de-tempered and repurposed in new products. So, yes, our claims of using 30% recycled glass are genuine, but we don’t want to create the impression you can simply chuck your old glass doors, cookware, or screen protectors into the recycling bin.
How much sand does it take to make tempered glass?
By using 30% recycled glass, we’re able to save a ton of sand, literally. Pure 3 is made from 42% sea sand—a highly coveted type of sand that’s also used in everything from concrete and ceramics to golf courses and sports fields. In comparison, our previous line of Pure 2 glass is made from roughly 60% sea sand. With Pure 3, we’re also using less virgin material for our alkali, aluminum oxide, and magnesium oxide additives. And with our competitors scrambling to develop their own recycled glass screen protectors, we’re making the entire industry more sustainable.
How much energy does it take to make virgin vs recycled glass?
Like many recycled materials, the environmental benefit isn’t just using less virgin material but using less energy as well. We recognize that energy consumption for producing tempered glass depends on several factors. We already use methods like loading efficiency to minimize the energy used to make our tempered glass, but recycled glass is making our operations even more energy efficient. According to the EPA, producing glass from virgin materials requires 30% more energy than producing it from crushed, used glass.
I'm a broke student but got an iPhone 14 Pro recently. I'm a bit clumsy and drop my phone relatively often (How my last phone broke and why I got the 14 Pro in the first place) but I had a hella cheap and poor quality screen protector for my last phone-- Which ones would you guys recommend for it?
What's a good brand of screen protector that you tried on the iPhone 14 that doesn't affect the touch quality or the front camera images? Thanks
Heyyo! I need help deciding which Tempered Glass I should buy, for my new iPhone 14. I'm looking for the strongest Tempered Glass in the market that also does not cause any touch response issues. I'm also in need of a good case recommendation that also goes well with the Tempered Glass.
Any quick recommendations would be grateful!
I just ordered my iPhone 14 Pro, and it gets here in a few weeks. I'm on the fence about which screen protector to get for my phone. I'm very careless just by nature. I drop things easily, so I need good impact protection. Right now, I'm between Shellrus Sapphire (having doubts after hearing about cracks on edges), Spigen, FloLab, and Zagg.
I don't mind spending an extra buck for a good screen protector, but I'm also aware I may not need to, so any recommendations?
Update:
So, I went with the Spigen. I’ve had my phone for a few months now and as expected I’ve already had two major drops with many minor ones.
Both times onto concrete while I was on steps or some elevated surface so very decent drop height. Phone and screen protector are both fine with not a single scratch. So very happy with my purchase!
I also have a Mous phone case if anyone is wondering.
