Traditional glass recycling requires crushing and melting glass at temperatures exceeding 2,800°F. Upcycling takes a different, more artistic path. We take the “found” bottle, cut it, and meticulously polish the edges to create a professional, smooth-rimmed tumbler. This process uses a fraction of the energy, preserves the original beauty of the glass, and prevents high-quality material from sitting in a landfill for a thousand years.

These Multicolor Upcycled Glasses (often featuring deep olive, amber, and forest green tones) are exceptionally sturdy and break-resistant. Because wine bottles are engineered to withstand pressure and light, these glasses are naturally insulated and more durable than thin, factory-pressed tumblers.

Why the “Micro2Media” Community is Choosing Upcycled Glass:

• ♻️ Landfill Diversion: Every set of six glasses represents six wine bottles that were diverted from the waste stream.

• 🔥 Fire-Polished Rims: Our artisans use a precision heat-finishing technique to ensure every rim is perfectly rounded, smooth, and comfortable to drink from.

• 💪 Built for Life: Thick-walled and weighted, these 13.53oz glasses feel substantial in the hand and provide superior insulation for both cold and room-temperature drinks.

• 👐 Empowering Artisans: Your purchase directly supports local entrepreneurs and skilled glass-cutters, fostering a sustainable livelihood through craftsmanship.

• 🧼 Modern Convenience: Despite their handmade origin, these glasses are fully dishwasher safe and designed for the rigors of a modern home.

📦 Logistics, Care & Artisan Notes

The Artisan Mark 🏺

Because these glasses are handmade from authentic repurposed bottles, you may notice slight variations in height, thickness, or minor “beauty marks” like tiny scratches from the bottle’s previous life. These are not defects—they are the hallmarks of a truly upcycled product.

Please Note:

• 📸 Color Variation: Your set will include a mix of natural glass colors sourced from available wine bottles. This “Multicolor” aesthetic ensures your table looks organic and unique.

• 📦 Unboxing: Please handle with care when opening. While sturdy, glass is still glass! Inspect each piece upon arrival for any transit cracks.
