“The industrial scale of production and consumption that defines our way of life needs to be met with equally scaled, innovative approaches to recycling and upcycling to address the problem of landfill.”
TANYA REINLI, Founder
"We merge the environmental aspect with connection and community. Bringing caring, healthy and like-minded people together to build a Solution Tribe"

Tanya Reinli
Founder
Upcycled Glassware developed from Tanya’s commitment to repurposing and recycling materials into artworks and functional design pieces for the home. Inspired by her upbringing in Switzerland where recycling is a cultural attitude, she transforms discarded bottles into inspired glassware pieces using locally sourced bottles.
“As a glass-artist, I am devoted to my craft and committed to quality. Each Upcycled Glassware piece is unique - their colour, design and volume vary, making each one original.”

Technical Director
Matt has a natural curiosity for finding out how things work. His self-driven education and pursuit of investigation has led to the development of Upcycled Glassware’s equipment, use of 3D printing and custom packaging solutions which breathes new life into repurposed materials in creative and beautiful ways.
“I enjoy the challenge of bridging sustainability, technology and creativity to produce functional pieces that not only look good but find a meaningful place in our environment.”
