100% Post-Consumer Recycled Glass Awards
at Weisenbach Recycled Products

At Weisenbach, we collect empty beer, wine and spirits bottles from several area bars & restaurants on a weekly basis.  The glass is brought back to our Columbus, Ohio workshop where it is cleaned, color-sorted and crushed in our industrial glass crusher.  The crushed glass is called "cullet".  The cullet is then melted down in the furnaces of our glass artist, who creates a variety of shapes and sculptures that become our exclusive line of ReAward® 100% post-consumer recycled glass awards. 

The photo here shows one of our top sellers, the Round Disk ReAward®.  These awards are available in 3 sizes (small 5-6", medium 7-8", large 9-10") and three colors (clear, cobalt blue, emerald green).  Each award can be ordered with custom sand-blast etching.  Our artists carefully etch each award by hand, ensuring a unique quality and incomparable beauty that is hard to top. 


From start to finish - the whole process is done in Columbus, Ohio.  Made in the USA.  Now that is something to cheer about, so raise your glasses to sustainability!

Recycled Glass Sculptures 100% post-consumer

Made with the same local-minded recycling process as our ReAwards®, our recycled glass sculptures make for one-of-a-kind gifts that combine common sense and sustainability with artistic beauty.

100% post-consumer spirits bottles give these little aqua blue fish that WOW factor...the great story that comes with any recycled product that is worth it's weight in cullet.  

At Weisenbach, we offer a variety of beautiful recycled glass sculptures, from pumpkins, apples and fish to classy artistic goblets, mugs and candle sticks.  All pieces are hand-crafted in Columbus, Ohio.
