We prioritize environmentally friendly processes and materials to help protect the well-being of our employees, the end-user, and our shared planet. This commitment is reflected in our core building material, glass: which is chemically inert, has zero emissions, and is free from red-list materials.
Testing Data
The time has passed for anecdotal reassurance of environmental responsibility. Reference our Health Product Declaration (HPD) certification via Resources.
Local Sourcing
As a domestic manufacturer, Skyline Design believes in local sourcing: for its line of back-painted Vitracolor glass, the low-VOC, water-based paint is manufactured within five miles of our Humboldt Park factory.
No Acid, No Sand
Skyline’s proprietary Eco-etch® process does not use chemicals as an abrasive but instead recycled aluminum oxide, which is chemical-free, reusable, recyclable and results in a surface so resilient that it renders additional sealants unnecessary.
Recycling for Reduced Impact
Undecorated glass breakage or waste contributes as cullet for new float glass. By also incorporating recycled materials like aluminum oxide and cullet into our production processes, we embrace a circular mindset.
Eco-Friendly Packaging Solutions
Custom-made wood crates are designed to fit each order precisely, and our packaging utilizes compostable packing peanuts, cardboard inserts, and recycled paper padding. Our breakage claims are less than 1/1000, we care about what we make and how it arrives.
