Roo Recycled Drinking Glasses
These glasses are design collateral for when you want to feel vaguely eco-conscious—and also kind of chic—every time you take a sip.
What It Is:
The Roo Glassware set includes four handblown, 100% recycled glass tumblers from Guadalajara, Mexico. Each one stands about 4" tall and 3" wide, rendered in a warm, amber hue that looks like sunlight refracted through a vintage thrift-store find. These aren’t just drinking glasses—they’re miniature artifacts of upcycled elegance, equally at home beside your morning juice or on a mid-century credenza.
Why You’ll Actually Use It:
Because a drinking glass is the simplest accessory you use every day—and this one does double duty. It holds your coffee, water, or whiskey and also tells anyone glancing your way, “I noticed what I bought.” It’s casual enough for daily routine, and subtly poetic enough to feel intentional, like you’re both practical and hypersensitive to how your objects reflect your ethics.

Impact:
These glasses aren't just recycled—they're a small, glowing rebuke to disposable culture. Crafted by skilled artisans, they carry stories of circular design, meaningful labor, and the idea that style and sustainability can coexist in your daily routine.
The Roo Glassware set is less “kitchenware” and more “liquid poetry in a glass.” It makes hydration feel like something you purposely curated, not something your future self has to justify.
About the brand: Powered by People
Powered by People is basically what happens when “shopping small” gets a global operating system. Instead of mass-produced sameness, they connect you with makers who are spinning out hand-dyed textiles, hand-thrown ceramics, and jewelry that feels like it was pulled from an alternate reality where craftsmanship never went out of style. The through-line isn’t just aesthetics—it’s the insistence that every object has both utility and a backstory, often rooted in sustainable practices, reclaimed materials, and cultural traditions that would otherwise get bulldozed by the modern marketplace. In short: they’re trying to prove that conscious consumption doesn’t have to look like homework.
