The future
of glass recycling
The future of glass recycling
We have to admit, we’ve got a crush on glass! It’s an amazing material, right? Not least because unlike other materials it can be infinitely recycled. But it’s also a challenging material for hospitality venues that have to manage the removal and disposal of it.
So, in 2002 we invented the BottleCycler glass bottle crushing machine – the first of its kind in Australia and still the market leader. It’s small and quiet enough to sit behind the bar, yet mighty enough that it can crush up to 80 glass bottles a minute.
Our goal is to take the pain out of glass management and recycling, and lead the resource revolution for glass – working towards a world where no glass is wasted.
That’s why, every glass bottle that goes through a BottleCycler machine gets recycled back into a new glass container again! That means that not only is BottleCycler better for your bottom line and safer for your staff – it’s also better for the planet.
All you do is put in the empties,
…and we take care of the rest!

OUR MACHINE
Swift and efficient, our glass crushing machine is designed to sit quietly behind your bar and can crush up to 80 bottles per minute.
In so doing, it reduces the original volume of the glass by up to 80%, so you can store up to five times the number of bottles in the same amount of space! That’s up to 300 beer bottles or 200 wine bottles in every BottleCycler bin.
How does it work? Simply feed the empty glass bottles into the top. The bottles will be instantly (and quietly) crushed into the easily manageable 60 litre bin that sits below.
Our machine’s smart safety features will let you know when it’s full. From here, simply attach the ergonomic handle to the bin and wheel it to the collection point. It’s that easy. No tipping, no heavy lifting.
