FINALIST
Safe – Made from excellent non-toxic materials. Medical grade silicone.
Responsible – Silicone Wine Glasses Australia’s products are made from 100% food and medical grade silicone, with no additives, no fillers and no harmful chemicals. They are reusable, non-porous and will soon be packaged in 100% biodegradable corn starch-based material, replacing its existing recyclable cardboard packaging.
As the business grows and looks to use third-party logistics services for all retail, wholesale and online orders, it will provide employment opportunities both locally in Victoria and also in other areas of Australia.
Silicone Wine Glasses Australia are currently organising a recycling program/service with a speciality silicone recycling centre so that customers can return unused products for repurposing.
Lovely fun cups with a choice of vibrant colours and beautiful patterns. It is so convenient that they can be squashed into a picnic bag though I do have to compete with my children for these as they want them too! At least I can breathe a sigh of relief that this is one gorgeous cup they can’t break!
We have been loving using these silicone wine glasses outside in the evenings. They make a fantastic alternative to handing out plastic or paper cups at parties. Easy to hold and to clean.
Novel idea and great for the picnic basket or on a boat. I like how the business has identified areas where they can improve their social and sustainability services, such as looking into how to collect and recycle the silicone products at end of life because silicone can not be placed with other recyclables.
I liked that these silicone glasses were easy to clean and pack. Unbreakable!
The cups are easy to hold and have a flat base so they don’t spill. They definitely bounce when dropped rather than breaking. The patterned design options are interesting.
