Yala Hammered Highball - Clear (Set of 4)

Our Ethical Tag System

Nkuku's recycled glass range repurposes discarded waste rather than extracting virgin raw materials, which requires significantly lower furnace temperatures, thereby cutting manufacturing carbon emissions by around 30%. Hand-blown using low-energy traditional tools rather than industrial mass production, every piece supports safe, ethical employment for independent craftspeople while keeping waste out of landfills.

Our Ethical Tag System

Nkuku ensures its packaging aligns with its ethical standards by using a minimum of 85% plastic-free packaging across its range, opting for FSC-certified corrugated cardboard, unbleached paper, and biodegradable tape instead. For fragile recycled glassware, they replace conventional styrofoam and bubble wrap with honeycomb paper wrap and recycled paper pulp moldings that protect products without generating persistent landfill waste. Furthermore, all transit boxes are fully recyclable, and the brand works directly with its artisan workshops to eliminate single-use polythene bags at the point of origin, ensuring products remain environmentally responsible from production to final delivery.

Our Ethical Tag System

This product was crafted and handblown in India.

Nkuku takes a strict stand against sweatshops by holding all supplier sites and subcontractors to the Ethical Trading Initiative (ETI) Base Code, which guarantees safe working conditions, living wages, and zero tolerance for forced or child labour.

As a certified B Corp, the brand works directly with independent artisan cooperatives, fair-trade businesses, and social enterprises rather than unverified middlemen. Compliance is verified through regular on-site visits and independent third-party audits, while Nkuku's practice of setting realistic, humane production lead times prevents the forced overtime and high-pressure environments typical of traditional mass manufacturing.
