Recycled Hand Blown Glassware.

The recycled glass melted down and finely blown into glassware that has perfect proportion, symmetry and balance. It takes the form of jugs, beakers, wine glasses and vases. It is recycled from discarded glass and comes in five colours: clear, turquoise, olive, plum, lime and red. Each piece perfectly captures the 'liquid sand' property of glass as well as containing the trace of the maker's touch with small ripples and optical distortions.The glass is made in a family-run workshop. Milagros imports and works directly we the glass blowers.All our glass is dishwasher friendly.

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.
