The Jabiru is a bottle top stem that turns the top of the bottles into elegant glassware. Jabiru was created after the The Kinkajou Bottle Cutter that turns all empty brews into glasses or vases.
Creator Patrick Lehoux recognized that the tops of the bottles that he has been throwing out are in fact way more intricate and elegant than the bottoms. He decided to also put them in use and created a bottle top stem that fits 95% of the bottles in the market.
Both of these products may just be the most fitting tools for a student house. They both not only recycle one of the most frequently purchased items in those homes but also duplicates them into the most needed and lacked items, while also saving them money.
