This Diwali, why not try some eco-friendly gifts. A brand that upcycles glass bottles which are not easily recyclable. The products are made from discarded bottles which are later sterilized. Since Diwali is the festival of lights, these can be the perfect match!
Bouteilles Up was born out of its founder’s immense love for glass bottles, and for upcycling them.
The brand which was founded in 2015 has won the Ignite Festival Award for its concept, innovation and its eco-friendly nature.
Though bottles cannot be recycled easily, every part of it can be upcycled and repurposed, once it is discarded.
What to gift this Diwali ?
If you wish to gift these for Diwali then you may contact bouteillesup@gmail.com
Well, on a recent trip to Ahmedabad city this is what I found
