Our Works
Education, consultancy, projects and products — the ways we put glass back to work.
Education
Glass is a beautiful yet challenging material. One that takes time, practice, and experience to master. At Refind, our workshops provide a safe and supportive introduction to glassmaking for students of all ages.
Participants learn essential techniques such as cutting, assembling, and repurposing glass to create unique, personal expressions. From kiln forming to bead-making and hot-glass tasters, our courses are designed to be engaging, hands-on, and rewarding. You might make a coaster, keychain, or mini panel to take home as a lasting reminder of your experience.

Circular Services
We offer two key services to help businesses and communities implement closed-loop packaging systems and creative reuse strategies, reducing packaging costs, lowering CO₂ emissions, and boosting sustainability impact.
Collect & Clean
Ideal for businesses and brands looking to reuse their glass packaging or products. We provide a bespoke service to collect used glass items, clean them, and return them to the business for reuse, extending the value and life of each glass container.
RED recycling + REUSING
This service focuses on general bottle collection through red bins, tracking and tracing the lifecycle of glass products. We provide logistical solutions, gather data on collected bottles, and return them to manufacturers for recycling and reuse, efficiently closing the loop.
For businesses exploring new packaging ideas, well-designed and suitable bottles collected from the RED programme can be integrated into their systems. Bottles that cannot be immediately reused are sorted by color and repurposed into bespoke architectural products, including pavers and breathable wind-channeling bricks, turning the collected glass into innovative, high-value solutions.
Consultancy
Our consultancy delivers material-focused research, cost analysis, and strategies to reduce wastes and proactively decrease CO₂ emissions, and strengthen customer engagement, all while advancing their sustainability goals.
We offer end-to-end solutions, including reuse systems, packaging redesign, pilot collection schemes, staff training, waste audits, prototype development, and targeted workshops that drive measurable impact.
Through practical guidance, case studies, and collaborative problem-solving, we help partners view glass as a valuable resource, positioning their business as a leader in innovation and sustainable practices.
Design & Production
Refind transforms discarded glass into upcycled, handcrafted creations designed by our skilled artisans. Each small-batch piece, from bottles and bud vases to dishes, glasses, gift sets, artworks, and large-scale installations, is unique and carries the signature and story of its original bottle, allowing owners to trace its history and connection.
