Curbside recycled glass from homes and businesses is the largest source of post consumer recycled glass (California recycled 79% of its glass bottles in 2008), but salvage glass is an emerging new source. Many more state and municipal governments have begun to mandate the separation and recycling of the glass pulled from demolished buildings.

Anti-magnetic seals are distinguished by way of indication of the magnetic influence (depending on the production technology), sensitivity to different strength of magnetic fields (measured in militesla), the capsule design and protection from exposure to it, stickers size and color, method of applying a unique number of the temperature operation mode.
Surface texture comes in several variations, such as sanded, melted, pixels, and linear. Glass countertops also often have customized edges, including: bushed polished, textured, and fire polished edges. The glass is non-porous, relatively stain-proof, extremely hygienic, and "extremely heat resistant (up to 700 degrees)."
