For the past many decades, developed countries are trying to
replace natural products with alternative options.
One such alternative natural friendly material for
construction is Cellular glass. One such company manufacturing cellular glass and related products is, Switzerland
based Misapor A G, incorporated in 1982.
The products are related to insulating materials for
construction activities made from glass waste.
Cellular glass having great properties and at the same time is very light weighted (table given below) makes it one f the best option to replace rock.
