WHY WE EXIST
THE WORLD SAVES 21 IN 100. WE'RE HERE FOR
the other 79.
Glass can be reborn forever, it never loses quality. Yet only about 21% of the 130 million tonnes made each year is ever recycled.
We don't accept that. Every bottle our collectors find gets a second life: handpicked, handcut, and put back to work on someone's table. 2 million rescued so far and the counter only goes up.

WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU
WHY THIS BEATS any
GLASS OFF A SHELF
01
YOURS IS
one of one
Every IWAS glass began as a bottle, rescued and transformed by hand. With no molds or production lines, your glass is truly unique.
1/1
no two glasses are identical
02
BETTER
in the hand
Bottle glass feels thicker and heavier than mass-produced glassware. Nine finishing steps make it smooth, durable and dishwasher-safe.

steps, each done by hand

THE STORY
you get to tell
“These used to be wine bottles.” Each glass carries its past life on the label, sparking conversation while supporting fair-wage artisan work.

THE STORY
I was a bottle. Now I'm yours.
Every IWAS piece begins as a rescued beer or wine bottle; cut, sanded, and finished by hand in small workshops in India. No two are identical, because no two bottles ever were. When you choose IWAS, you're not just buying glassware, you're giving a bottle a second life.
