Glass on new bottles or rather bottles as new glasses. Because Rebottled's entire existence is based on wanting to make up for the large loss of glass and thus the consumption of raw materials by recycling used wine bottles and upcycling them for e.g. drinking glasses and decanters. The glass from the wine bottles can of course be reused, but it costs resources in heat for the ovens and min. 40% new glass to create recycled glass. In fact, the production of recycled glass uses 85% of the amount of energy required to produce new glass, so it is still a costly affair. Dutch Rebottled has instead chosen to make a beautiful production of utility glass, e.g. drinking glasses and decanters, from the old wine bottles. In this way, you get the opportunity to buy drinking glasses that have had a different function before and thus save the environment and the climate from an additional burden when you run out of glasses. Because they don't have to be produced from scratch. They each have their very own stamp and appearance depending on which bottle they were before, they became something else and more. Rebottled is also a social-economic enterprise that helps people outside or on the edge of the labor market to get ready to re-enter it.
