Medulas Echoes Recycled Glasses Tumbler - Artisanal Recycled Glassware
Our glassware hails from a masterful glassblowing workshop nestled in the heart of Jalisco, Western Mexico. Under the vigilant guidance of Doña Josefina, the establishment shines as a beacon of hope, championing the integration of socially disadvantaged individuals. Through offering permanent positions, it paves their way back into the workforce, simultaneously nurturing the youth by equipping them with skills in a revered craft: glassblowing. The raw material utilized in our allied workshop is sourced from 100% recycled glass, echoing our commitment to sustainability.
The advantages of employing recycled glass are manifold:
- The process of recycling glass consumes less energy compared to producing new glass since recycled glass melts at lower temperatures.
- Glass can be melted and reformed repeatedly without any loss in quality.
- Using recycled glass reduces the demand for raw materials such as quartz sand, soda, and lime, thereby diminishing the environmental footprint typically associated with the production process.
Each hand-blown piece from our collection embodies the spirit of Mexican craftsmanship, making every glass not merely an object but a testament to tradition. Variances in shape, height, and diameter are not imperfections but affirmations of each piece's individuality.
