Recycled Glass

Glass recycles perfectly because it is made of such simple materials. It is a myth that recycling glass uses more energy than it saves. Recycling two bottle of glass saves the equivalent energy of boiling 5 cups of water. A small saving until you take into account that 2.4 tonnes of glass end up in landfill per year. In the UK we use 331 glass bottles per person per year. It also reduces the need for energy intensive quarrying of lime and silica. For every tonne of recycled glass, 1.2 tonnes of raw materials are preserved. Even in accounting for transport and processing recycling saves 315kg of CO2 per tonne of glass.

Our glassware is made in a family-run workshop using Pepsi bottles and other discarded glass that are at the end of their reusable life. The glass is melted down and then blown, and each piece is shaped by hand and eye using techniques that date back thousands of years. The trace of the maker is captured as the glass solidifies – small ripples and optical distortions are an integral part of the glassware. It is not for those who favour the symmetry of the production line. We stock five ranges of recycled hand-blown glass: engraved glassware, rimmed glass, coloured and two-tone glassware.

All our glass is dishwasher-friendly. For more information about the glassware follow the link More glass.
