ecoBali was established in 2006 in response to the urgency of waste management problems in the island of Bali, and has been our partner at Bali Buda for as long! Their Vision is to enable everyone towards a zero waste lifestyle and promote responsible waste management, create green knowledge and eco products towards achieving zero waste. Their team includes professionals experienced in waste management, educational programs, product design and marketing.
ecoBali organizes waste management services for households, offices, businesses, communities, and schools that handle non-organic waste 100% responsibly to reduce waste ending up in landfills with separation at source and increase recovery of materials and recycling. They also create knowledge and raise awareness about waste and understanding that a more sustainable waste management is the key to change behavior sustainably.
A ecoBali glass is a sustainable and stylish alternative to mass-produced glassware, made from recycled glass bottles. Each glass is handcrafted from discarded bottles collected in Bali, giving new life to what would otherwise be waste. The process of upcycling—transforming waste materials into new, functional products—not only helps reduce the amount of waste going to landfills but also conserves the energy and resources needed to produce new glass from raw materials.
These upcycled glasses are unique in appearance, often retaining subtle characteristics from the original bottle, such as texture or color variations, giving each glass its own distinct look and feel. They come in various sizes and shapes, from tumblers to wine glasses, making them versatile for everyday use or special occasions. Their design reflects a commitment to sustainability while still offering high-quality, durable glassware.
ecoBali works closely with local artisans to craft these glasses, supporting local economies and traditional craftsmanship. The process of transforming glass bottles into drinkware involves carefully cutting, sanding, and polishing the bottles, ensuring a smooth finish and safe, stylish product. This approach not only reduces environmental impact but also creates jobs for local communities in Bali.
For those looking to reduce their ecological footprint, A ecoBali glass provides a meaningful way to support eco-friendly initiatives. They are not only practical but also serve as a conversation starter, reflecting a commitment to reducing waste and promoting sustainability.
While they may cost more than factory-made glassware, their long-lasting quality, unique aesthetic, and positive environmental impact make them a worthwhile investment for people who value eco-conscious living. With ecoBali glasses, you get more than just a functional item—you contribute to a larger movement toward sustainable consumption and waste reduction.
