Refractory bricks from our first CRT recycling furnace take on a new life as they are up cycled and incorporated in the construction of local artisans' from Chautauqua Area Potters (CAP) new kilns at the Scott Creek Fire Place.This exciting arts initiative in the town of Sheridan, is the only community based wood firing facility in Western New York.
Back in June, the project leaders, Marvin Bjurlin and Ron Nasca visited our facility to see if the available refractory material we had could be re-purposed.
A lot of the Nulife bricks were used in the chimney and stack construction, other bricks enabled CAP to make all new kiln posts for the shelving when they load the kiln.
The Soda kiln's inaugural firing was on the 14th July and we had the pleasure of touring the newly built facility and share celebratory pizza cooked in the small bespoke wood fired kiln that added all the more to the convivial atmosphere of the studio.

The Nulife Glass de-leaded glass has been successfully used as an aggregates replacement in construction products such as floor screeds and worktops and to produce glass tiles.Other potential applications include road surfacing, grit blasting and production of higher value decorative glass products.
