    No offense but isn’t using that much cork bad for the environment?

    So you are taking something that can be recycled (glass bottles) and adding extra cork or beech wood, not to mention the machines needs to re-fashion and smooth these glasses.

    I think they look cool, but calling them a green alternative is kind of stretching it.

    Kyle, although that is a somewhat valid point, the energy that is saved from recycling glasses FAR outweighs the use of corks, beechwood, and machines. Also, recycling clears up landfills, which are becoming quite a problem, as most of the garbage in landfills isn’t biodegradable.

    The spoons are beautiful, but unless the glass is pyrex or another shatter-resistant glass, you run a good risk of getting a shard of glass in your soup.

    By far the coolest use of recycled bottles I ve seen yet. These designs from french designer, Laurence Brabant, use old bottles combined with cork and beech wood. I m not sure how easy to use those utensils are, but they look cool and this is a creative use of design and recycling!
