From Waste to Elegance
1 · Collecting Bottles
Discarded beverage bottles serve as the raw material. For many people, collecting bottles is their only source of income. The Light Carafes are made from 100% recycled glass.
2 · Recycling
The bottles are sorted, washed and shredded. The raw material is then melted down. The melting oven is powered by old cooking oil and the electricity is generated by the company's own solar system.
3 · Glassblowing in Teamwork
The art of glassblowing combines hard physical labor and delicate craftsmanship. It takes about a year of training to be able to create a carafe. Teamwork: The production of a single Light Carafe (glass blowing, cutting, finishing) requires the handwork of 7 people.
