Glass can be recycled over and over without losing quality, yet only about a third of glass containers in the U.S. actually get recycled.
Bottles often shatter in curbside bins, contaminating other materials, and glass that ends up in a landfill doesn’t break down. It just sits there. That’s why it’s worth giving every bottle another life.
This year, Ridwell members kept nearly 200,000 pounds of glass out of landfills. Most was made into new glass, and some wine bottles became these full-circle goods.

The story behind the goods
The glass problem
While many municipalities pick up glass for recycling, some don’t—citing high processing and transportation costs, plus contamination.
Ridwell steps in
Ridwell picks up glass in select areas without curbside glass recycling. Members kept nearly 200,000 pounds of glass out of landfills this year.
Transformation
We sent a batch of bottles to our partner Mosa to be turned into beautiful drinkware, complete with an etched motif designed at Ridwell.
MOSABottles, made to be kept
Mosa began with a simple conviction: glass deserves better than a landfill. Based in Vancouver, Canada, the team takes discarded bottles and turns them into drinking glasses, jars, platters, and soy candles, each one hand-finished and a little different from the last. So far, they’ve given more than 80,000 bottles a second life.
