Kitengela Hot Glass: A Pioneer in Glass Recycling ¶
Located in Rongai, just a few kilometers off Magadi Road, Kitengela Hot Glass has been a trailblazer in glass recycling since 1990, when founder Croze Anselm first set up the studio.
Today, the studio boasts an expansive facility and a team of 45 staff members, all working together to create stunning glass blown items from recycled glass.
According to research, glass is 100% recyclable and can be recycled endlessly without loss in quality or purity. Kitengela Hot Glass takes broken glass from various sources, sorts it, and then melts it down to create the perfect raw material for glass blowing.
With a daily melting capacity of 450kg of old glass, the studio has converted over 2,500 tonnes of scrap window and bottle glass into useful and decorative items over the years.
As the world becomes increasingly aware of the impact of daily choices on the environment, Kitengela Hot Glass is leading the way in sustainable art, creating beauty from the broken and forgotten.
