Recycled Beer Bottle Glass Goblets

Glasses that don't cost the earth.

Handmade in Cornwall from famous brand beer bottles such as the iconic 450ml swing top Grolsch Bottle, and Sol and Corona, these unique goblets are manufactured using using materials and processes that are designed to be as energy efficient as possible.

The creation of a great looking glass from a used bottle is an art and so a lot of production process is still by hand.

Every bottle goes through seven different processes in its transformation. Each glass is cut, the edge ground and then melted to create a smooth surface to drink from. To make the glasses as strong and hard-wearing as possible they are then annealed in a long oven at varying temperatures for 2 hours. From start to finish it takes about 3 hours for a bottle to go through the process of transformation into a wine glass.

Bottles are sourced from wherever the manufacturers can get them, even the local scouts help collecting! Apparently in the early days they had to resort to buying full bottles and drinking them, what a tough job! But now that recycling is more commonplace, they have invented a special "no smash" bottle collection bank to preserve the unique original bottle design.

The original recycled bottle glasses were designed in South Africa, where most of the original work was done to refine the production process to turn the empty bottles into reusable goblets. All the water used in the factory is filtered and reused. Recycled material is used wherever possible for packaging.

Because we use recycled bottles our designs change slightly with the shape, colour and size of the original bottle available. We can guarantee that all our glasses will look fantastic and be great to drink from.
