The org has 30 tonnes of glass bottles and have tried basic reuse like upcycling into compound walls etc  
Waste pickers don’t pick glass bottles anymore

I know this isn’t something for 30 tonnes of glass bottles but there’s this idea - there’s this brand Vapasee which was supported by Climate Collective couple of yrs back…

Thanks - interesting. In this case they were looking for a service/partner/vendor they could work with, though. Most good ideas don’t materialize where the rubber needs to hit the road for want of an ecosystem player.
