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 real bottle with a real past, picked by hand from the 79 that never get saved. No mold, no production line, which means no one else on earth owns your exact glass.
1/1
no two glasses are identical
02
BETTER
in the hand
Bottle glass is thicker and heavier than mass-produced glassware and it feels substantial the moment you pick it up. Nine steps of cutting, grinding, smoothing and fire-polishing make it ready for daily life, dishwasher included.
9
steps, each done by hand

THE STORY
you get to tell
"These used to be wine bottles." It works every single dinner. Your glasses come with their past life on the label. The conversation starter is included, and it happens to keep artisans in fair-wage 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.
