Maako employs artists and designers to collaborate in creating unique, one-of-a-kind pieces for dinner gatherings, casual meals, and everything in between. They use only recycled glass from bottles in their glassware production, which makes for a thicker, heftier glass layer. The natural local minerals used for any color addition are the only new material included in each piece. All production is done locally in Mexico with artisans, out of 100% recycled glass . Maako creates jobs for local artisans and support for the community. They are conscious about the packing materials and bulk shipping when they can to save energy and resources.
