The Forest Tumblers by Green Glass are a series of drinking glasses that repurpose old and discarded bottles of Bordeaux wine by transforming the canteens into mugs. The bottles are carefully sliced and serrated at the edges to create a drinking glass that can be used over and over again.
Green Glass' brand vision to repurpose packaging design into household dishware is an innovative concept that makes use of products that would otherwise end up in a landfill. The Tumbler Forest is made with minimal alterations done to the bottle of Bordeaux. The bottle is sliced near the middle to create a curved cup that maintains its green hued glass tint. The stylish cups come in a set of four adding style to a home while repurposing old glass.
