Upcycle Sandblasted Tumblers from Reclaimed Wine Bottles

Description

These glasses from upcycled waste wine bottles lend a playful, pretty touch to any occasion – whether it’s a stay-cation, cocktail party, Sunday lunch or just your everyday dose of the elixir of life (good ol’ H20!) They are meticulously cut and sanded down to a smooth edge, ensuring you’ll not be harmed, and sandblasted by hand to achieve this lovely funky look.

A great way to give waste glass a second-chance at life, before it is sent for recycling (recycling glass is quite an energy intensive process, and it is better to reuse existing glass than to recycle, and better to recycle than to buy virgin glass, because glass is after all also made from a finite resource). In other words, you are saving energy and finite resources in adding another loop in the circular economy!

Note the colours and motives are completely random, being made from waste there is little standardisation of colours and each item is unique. Please specify in the order notes if you want a specific look, and we’ll try to match it if it’s available, but no guarantees. They are also made to order – please allow 5 additional days to the usual delivery times, to allow for the making thereof.

Made in SA:

Proudly handmade in South Africa by the Upcycle team, in an effort to divert corporate waste from landfill and transform it into beautiful and useful products, thereby creating opportunities for local microentrepreneurs and self-starters.

Size and other specifications:

As each upcycled wine bottle is unique, there is little standardisation in size, but each tumbler is about half the size of a 750ml wine bottle.

Being made from reclaimed waste, colours and motives may differ vastly from pictures, as no two items are the same, every item is unique.

Reclaimed waste glass wine bottle
