etsy find: zen green tea liquor vase

photo credits: bottlehood

my etsy find is another example of just how great it is to recycle. this upcycled vase is a product from bottlehood, who made it from a recycled zen green tea liquor bottle.

bottlehood is a company founded by two people from california who decided to do something about the liquor bottles that are thrown away by local restaurants in san diego. through the help of local craftsmen, bottlehood turns these bottles into upcycled tumblers or vases.  because a glass bottle can take up to 4,000 years in a landfill to decompose, by upcycling these items, bottlehood is bettering the environment, and the economy.

i absolutely love the way that bottlehood is using the glass bottles to create something that can be useful and unique. if you would like to check out the vase, you can find it here. if you want to see the other products that bottlehood has to offer, you can find them here.
