Sustainable Upcycled Glass Cups

HMM Design Creates a Unique Eco-Friendly Glass Cup

The design team at Human Made Method Design has created dynamic glassware with sustainable elements at the forefront of its build. The cup is beautiful in terms of its design and it is crafted from glass that is collected and recycled by the largest glass recycling center in Taiwan.

The product is also an entirely recyclable glass product which means that when the product reaches the end of its life, it can be disposed of properly or recycled for another use. Instead of a smooth and rounded design, the cup has a faceted shape with 12 angles to represent the 12 hours on a clock's face. Instead of being fully clear, it has dyed techniques to allow just enough light to pass through.
