Recycled glasses made from wine and beer bottles.

bodhicitta's Shop Announcement

Handmade recycled glasses made from reclaimed wine bottles, recycled beer bottle glasses, and unique eco-friendly upcycled gifts.

DID YOU KNOW that only 25% of glass containers are actually recycled! 3 out of 4 glass containers meet a terrible fate of 4000 years in the landfill!! What a shame. So my mission is to RESCUE some of these bottles, make them into something USEFUL again, then find good LOVING homes for them.

I do this by finding orphaned bottles behind the local bars and restaurants in my hometown. I then wash and sterilize each bottle. Next, using my 8 years of glassblowing experience I carefully cut off the tops then FIRE POLISH the rims so they are completely smooth. What you end up with is Rewined Recycled Glassware: Completely utilitarian (and super cool) glassware made from NOTHING NEW. No virgin raw material is required. Help out the earth by using Rewined Recycled Glassware! Adopt a set today!!! Future generations thank you for your MINDFULNESS.

A NOTE ON PACKAGING: I use as much recycled material as possible to package and ship Rewined Recycled Glassware. I reuse boxes I collect from local businesses to ship, I collect the old New York Times from a local coffee shop and shred it myself to use as fill, and my gift boxes are recycled and hand stamped.

Thanks to the hundreds of satisfied customers who are currently enjoying Rewined Recycled Glassware and thanks to all you awesome etsians for the 3ooo+ Hearts!!!
