Recycled Glass - Tumblers - Glacier Earth Day |
|
Every day is Earth Day with these special tumblers! The transformation begins when our supplier receives bottles from recyclers all over North America, The bottles are washed and sterilized. The bottle is separated into two components; 'head' & 'base' . The 'head' (upper portion of the bottle) and 'base' (lower portion of the bottle) are smoothed, and then fire polished. The base becomes a tumbler, such as this item. The neck is then heated, twisted to close it off and finally the original mouth of the bottle is 'flared' to form the new foot of the glass. The newly formed tumblers and goblets (we sell lots of these too) then travel through an annealing (tempering) oven to remove all residual stress in the glass.
