Glass Tumbler from savanna cider Bottles
“Sip sustainably in style with our unique glass tumblers, handcrafted from upcycled wine bottles.”
Upcycle South Africa has given the humble glass a new look by applying our creativity to discarded bottles. The awesome nature of glass is that is can be recycled repeatedly though this has a down side in that recycling glass has a net negative energy requirement versus making glass from raw materials. With that in mind Upcycle embarked on working on a process that would allow us to turn bottles into drinking glasses.

Each tumbler is hand-cut and sanded, with its design and height determined by the unique shape of the original bottle. While the standard height is 12cm, we offer other sizes depending on bottle availability. Perfect for everyday use or special occasions, these tumblers can be purchased individually or as a set, adding an eco-friendly and elegant touch to your table.
Community impact:

By choosing our glass tumblers, you’re not only investing in a high-quality, handmade item but also empowering our team members and contributing to the growth of our community.

Environmental impact:
Upcycling glass has a significant positive environmental impact, transforming waste into valuable, reusable products while reducing the strain on landfills. Glass is a non-biodegradable material that can take thousands of years to decompose, but by repurposing it, we extend its lifecycle and minimize waste. This process reduces the demand for new raw materials, conserving energy and resources typically used in glass manufacturing. Additionally, upcycling glass helps lower carbon emissions associated with production and disposal, promoting a more sustainable and eco-conscious way of living. Each upcycled glass product represents a step toward reducing pollution and protecting our planet for future generations.
