Description:
Our Upcycled Glass Tumblers, crafted from repurposed wine bottles, combine sustainability and style in every sip. 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:

We take pride in our skills development program, where we educate our team members about climate change and entrepreneurship, while equipping them with the skills to create these beautiful and practical products. 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. Upcycle diverts waste from landfills, transforming waste into livelihood opportunities for our communities.
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.
