The Flat Bottle Company was founded in Broome, Western Australia in 1992 to recycle just a small portion of the wine bottles going to the local tip. Since then, the business has grown steadily from a backyard operation into an award-winning international business. In 2001 we were invited by the Victorian Government to base our operations in Melbourne to more easily access export markets (and so we could get enough recycled bottles!). It is important to us to remain Australian made and to do this our prices must be very competitive compared with imported products. Consumers are asking for, and purchasing Australian made items and our presence in the marketplace is growing with a reputation of originality and service. This is reflected in Telstra Small Business Awards and Environment Awards.

The Flat Bottle Company is one of Australia's most innovative recyclers of glass bottles, taking out awards Australia wide. We now supply unique gifts to the retail and corporate markets worldwide as well as local wineries and dairies. The Flat Bottle Company is an ethical and environmentally conscious business that focuses on the reuse of waste materials. Our aim is to turn a throwaway item into something of value and reduce the huge amount of waste currently being dumped as landfill. A changing world requires a different concept of business. We can all help to make a difference. Our products include funky Gourmet Cheese Platters, Sushi Platters, Incense Holders and humorous flattened beer stubbies. They come in a range of colours and are produced using our secret flattening process developed over many years of research and testing.These unique gifts are tough (dishwasher- proof) and are very reasonably priced. For a small additional charge we can melt your own personal message or logo into the flattened bottle. This makes them very special presents and corporate gifts.
