01 - The bottle cutter: Our HErzstück

Innovative, certified, unique: the thermal bottle cutter from Bottleneck

Got a bottle?
we make glass, vase, lamp, ...

Our thermal bottle cutter is truly unique: instead of scoring the bottles mechanically, it uses heat to cut them – quickly, cleanly and extremely precisely. Whether as drinking glasses or decorative objects, your used glass bottles are ready for a second life in no time at all.

And the best part? The cutter is certified and therefore absolutely reliable in use. No shards, no trembling – simply safe working with an innovative device that can only be found at Bottleneck.

02 - Our workshops

Your all-in-one package

Interactive workshop on waste prevention & glass upcycling

All-in-one: What you will learn

The interactive workshop introduces the topics of waste separation and zero waste and puts this into practice by upcycling used glass bottles. The workshop offers space to discuss and exchange ideas on topics such as glass as a resource, deposit systems and waste prevention. We strengthen the self-efficacy of the participants by having them create their own concrete results through upcycling and DIY grinding and then disposing of the remaining glass correctly and separately on site.

* For a larger number of participants, e.g. at a larger party, it is a good idea to prepare “bottle containers” for DIY grinding.
