Manufacturing process

We always keep the environment in mind when manufacturing Starshine® products. Recycled glass accounts for the greater part of our production processes. We also save energy, time, and production costs by fusing the glass granulate at a temperature significantly below that normally required by such processes.

Starshine® granulate fired
Using a new and unique process, pre-fired Starshine® granulate is color-coated and fired again at 700°C in a tunnel kiln.

Starshine® granulate unfried
The second type of Starshine® granulate is unfired, and can be pre-mixed with the color of your choice to produce a raw material that is ready for further processing into a Starshine® fusion product.
