About Us
Welcome to glassy!
We’re John and Noah - two best buddies since grade school, from the same neighborhood in Northern Massachusetts. Despite going to different highschools and colleges, and John moving south to Florida, we’ve stayed close as ever. We developed a shared passion for entrepreneurship during highschool, always pondering ways to fill a niche market that would benefit people for the greater good.
One night of hanging out after a charity golf tournament, we were brainstorming some ideas in John’s jeep. Plastic water bottles at our feet, steel water bottles in the cupholders, the new topic became water. Spring water delivery, smart filtration systems… but we realized the main problem is not always the water itself, but the container! Why does water in steel or plastic taste odd after hours of being left in it? How can we fix this? The answer lied in nature- glass! Glass manages to never leach flavor into liquid due to its chemical stability, unlike plastic or steel.
Taking it a step further than regular soda-lime or amber glass- we found that borosilicate glass is the ideal choice for our newfound business model. The boron oxide used in production of borosilicate glass forms a network of chemical bonds that make it resistant to chemical attack- meaning it wont leach chemicals or toxins into the liquid inside of it. Bingo! Additional research showed us that this glass is also prized for its ability to withstand super high temperatures without cracking or melting, allowing boiling-hot liquids to fill it with no issues. Bingo #2! We also found that this glass is roughly 25% stronger than regular glass due to its durability. Bingo #3!
We were inspired by the beauty and purity of glass and its significant environmental advantages over single-use plastics. Glass is a sustainable and elegant choice that helps reduce waste, preserve the quality of water, and contribute to a healthier planet. We wanted to create something that not only reflected our values but also made a tangible difference in the world.
At glassy, we are dedicated to providing high-quality, stylish, and eco-friendly glass water bottles that encourage a sustainable lifestyle. Our mission is to make it easier for people to make a positive environmental and mindful choice while staying hydrated in style.
Every bottle we offer is a product of our passion, dedication, and the friendship that has fueled our entrepreneurial journey. We’re excited to share our love for water and our commitment to the environment with you. Join us in making a difference, one sip at a time.
Thank you for being a part of our story!
Warmest regards,
Noah & John
