Simon Pearce Sustainability
We ensure that everything we do makes the most of our natural resources, while minimizing our impact on the environment.
Our home state of Vermont is a hub for environmentalism – and it’s easy to see why. Our breathtaking mountains, crisp air, and fresh, flowing waters invite people from around the world to experience nature, at its best.
Seconds: A second life
Each Seconds piece captures a moment of the human hand at work, where unique conditions lead to slight variations and differences, preserved in glass. These imperfections include small bubbles, fine lines, or a faint hue in the product. Instead of throwing these pieces away, we share and let them live on.
Protecting the planet
Hydroelectricity
Our Quechee, VT flagship, restaurant and glassblowing studio is housed in a former woolen mill that’s turbine-powered by the rushing Ottauquechee River.
We’ve updated our shopping bags and gift boxes to feature recycled content and to be fully recyclable themselves, so you can feel good about giving.
Our restaurant sources from local farms whenever possible to reduce our carbon footprint. We compost food scraps to add nutrients back to the soil.
All of our offices and retail locations feature easily accessible bins to encourage recycling so we can lessen our impact on local landfills.
We reuse materials whenever possible. From recycling glass back into our furnaces to reclaiming clay scraps, always prioritize sustainable practices.
