“Once Upon a Time, I Was a Beer Bottle! Now I Shine as a Candle to Illuminate Your Home.”

Our Humble Origins

As we see facets of Mother Earth slowly get lost in a sea of worldwide- massive destruction….One can’t help but think how can I play a role that helps SAVE HER or not destroy her!

It is with this burning desire to create a change that Once.Upon.A.Time was born. As an eco-friendly company, our first baby step towards reducing our carbon footprint was to adopt and imbibe the concept of ‘Upcycling’.

“One man’s waste is another man’s treasure”

Our Commitment

We are committed to quality craftsmanship, sustainable practices, and customer satisfaction. Each piece is a testament to our dedication to transforming waste into art while maintaining the highest standards of environmental responsibility.

"Every product is lovingly upcycled, designed to be refilled, or chosen for it's sustainable values"

Our Mission

At O.U.A.T., we begin by collecting discarded glass bottles from various sources, then meticulously clean and sort them by color and type before preparing them for transformation. Each of our handmade pieces embraces its uniqueness with inherent variations and imperfections, showcasing our commitment to craftsmanship. Our process involves using a simple energy-efficient machine minimizing environmental impact with minimal electricity consumption.

Giving Back

By upcycling glass waste, we make a substantial environmental impact. Our process diverts tons of material from landfills, reducing the energy and resources needed for glass production from raw materials. This significantly lowers carbon emissions and conserves natural resources, actively combating environmental degradation. Reusing glass bottles not only prevents negative effects on biodiversity from landfill and ocean disposal but also represents an exceptionally eco-friendly approach to glassware production.

In comparison to manufacturing new glass, every kilogram of upcycled glass saves:

  • 1.2 kilograms of raw materials
  • 0.105 kilograms of fuel
  • 0.9 kilograms of CO2 emissions
“Driven by a passion to transform waste into wealth, we set out to repurpose glass bottles collected locally into functional Art. Through innovative technology and dedicated craftsmanship, we upcycle objects that are both sustainable and Stylish perfect for the Eco Conscious homes”
