Crafted with Purpose: The Coaltown Coffee x SmoothEdge Collaboration

Say hello to our new Coaltown X SmoothEdge 300ml Glass. Here at Coaltown we are committed to sustainability and craftsmanship, especially when it comes to our collaborations. Our latest collaboration with SmoothEdge, exemplifies this ethos, resulting in a limited-edition glass that embodies both environmental responsibility and artisanal design.

Who are Smooth Edge you may ask? Smooth Edge, founded by Sam, Leah and Justin began with a simple yet profound mission: to transform waste into something beautiful and functional. Despite glass being recyclable, a significant number of bottles still end up in landfills. Recognising this, the trio started by collecting discarded bottles, recycling them into unique glassware. Their journey from humble beginnings in a shed to partnering with renowned brands showcases their dedication to promoting a circular economy.

A minimalist glass, handcrafted from 100% recycled waste bottles. Each piece features our iconic pick and shovel logo, that is uv printed onto the glass, serving as a subtle nod to our heritage and commitment to quality. The design is intentionally simple, allowing the glass itself to tell its story—a narrative of transformation from discarded material to cherished object.

Choosing recycled glassware significantly reduces environmental impact. Producing these glasses uses over 100 times less carbon than manufacturing new glassware, equating to just 10g of CO₂ per glass compared to 1,200g for standard factory-made glass. To date, SmoothEdge has saved over 15,000 bottles from landfill and prevented 16.35 tonnes of CO₂ emissions.

This exclusive glass is available in limited quantities, reflecting the unique nature of each handcrafted piece.  Perfect for your summer beverage, this 300ml glass is designed to complement any iced drink— from a smooth iced matcha to a crisp iced batch brew. Whether you're enjoying your morning cold brew in the garden or serving up a post-dinner espresso tonic, this glass elevates your drink with style and sustainability.

We invite you to be part of this meaningful collaboration. By choosing the Coaltown X SmoothEdge glass, you're not only acquiring a beautifully crafted item — you're supporting a movement towards a more circular future. A future where waste is rescued, reimagined and returned to our tables with purpose.

Let's celebrate craftsmanship, sustainability and the stories that connect us.
