IceStone is committed to a sustainable future.

"All our investors have been progressive angel investors who believe in our social mission"

-- Miranda Magagnini, co-CEO

“At IceStone we manufacture our products with 100% recycled glass in a cement matrix, diverting hundreds of tons of glass from landfills each year.”

About IceStone:

IceStone LLC manufactures durable surface material from recycled glass and concrete. It has a range of uses, such as countertops, tabletops and commercial flooring. The product is produced by an environmentally friendly manufacturing process in a daylit factory in Brooklyn, New York. Their goal is to be the top choice for green countertops by producing beautiful materials that rival the strength of quarried stone, yet actively reduce the waste stream by redirecting glass from landfills to be used in our product.

In addition to its environmental mission, IceStone provides living-wages, health benefits, education programs and life-skill training to employees, including free English as a Second Language classes. IceStone’s donation program provides free or discounted material to projects that share similar social and environmental goals, with Habitat for Humanity receiving annual donations. IceStone also partner with community, nonprofit, academic, industrial assistance and local social services groups to promote green-collar job creation, sustainable business practices, and the development of the green building industry.
