SmoothEdge x Orkney Distillery

From the rugged shores of Orkney comes a story of craftsmanship, quality, and respect for the environment. At SmoothEdge, we are proud to work with Orkney Distilling to help extend the life of their beautiful spirit bottles through handcrafted glass upcycling.

Known for creating spirits inspired by the unique landscape, heritage, and character of the Orkney Islands, Orkney Distillery shares our belief that thoughtful production should go hand in hand with sustainability.

Rather than allowing empty bottles to become waste, SmoothEdge transforms them into premium upcycled glass tumblers, preserving the identity of the original bottle while creating something new and useful.

A Sustainable Second Life for Orkney Bottles

Every Orkney Distillery bottle has already played an important role in telling the brand’s story. Through our bottle upcycling process, that story continues long after the final pour.

Each bottle is carefully cut, smoothed, and finished by hand to create a unique drinking glass. The result is a sustainable product that celebrates both Orkney Distillery craftsmanship and SmoothEdge’s commitment to circular design.

Bottle Upcycling for Brands

The Orkney Distillery collaboration demonstrates how brands can turn their packaging waste into something valuable. Upcycled glass products offer a meaningful way to reduce waste, support sustainability goals, and create memorable products for customers.

SmoothEdge works with distilleries, breweries, hospitality businesses, and premium brands looking to transform their waste bottles into:

  • Bespoke upcycled glassware

  • Sustainable brand merchandise

  • Corporate gifts

  • Limited-edition products

  • Circular economy solutions

Turning Waste Into Brand Stories

Your bottles are more than packaging, they are part of your brand identity. With SmoothEdge, they can continue their journey as products customers use, keep, and remember.

The Orkney Distilling upcycled tumbler is a perfect example of how collaboration, craftsmanship, and sustainability can come together to create something with real purpose.

Have bottles that deserve a second life? SmoothEdge helps brands transform waste glass into products with a story.
