Ngwenya Glass

Since 1987, Ngwenya Glass has been making glassware in Swaziland/Eswatini from 100% recycled glass. Building upon a reputation of quality, functionality, beauty & social impact. The unique combination of factors that make up Ngwenya Glass, make it a living & breathing animal in its own right.

The reason why Ngwenya Glass is so special is that only re-cycled glass is used – mainly old cool drink bottles, and that each and every piece is totally handmade and mouth blown.  People from all over Swaziland/Eswatini collect bottles and are paid per kilo for clean glass.  Ngwenya must be the cleanest area because any bottle that catches the children ‘ s attention finds its way into the factory!
