Collection: Earrings Made From Bottle Top Lids

Celebrate unique style with a sustainable twist. Our Recycled Plastic Earrings are handcrafted in Sydney from recycled bottle top lids collected through the Banish BRAD Program. Each pair transforms hard-to-recycle plastic into colourful, lightweight earrings that are bold, beautiful and planet-positive.

From everyday wear to statement accessories, these earrings bring personality to your outfit while supporting circular design and Australian micro-recycling. Every swirl of colour tells a story, because sustainability should be stylish.

Our story

At Banish, we believe everyday fashion can be part of the solution not the problem. Bottle top lids are typically too small to be processed through standard kerbside recycling, so we created the BRAD (Banish Recycling and Diversion) Program to give them new life.

Each lid is hand-sorted at Central Station, Sydney, then cleaned, shredded, pressed and cut into earring shapes using sustainable design techniques. Because we use the original coloured lids, every pair of earrings is completely unique, no two are the same.

These earrings aren’t just accessories — they’re conversation starters. Wear them knowing they help divert hard-to-recycle plastics from landfill, support local makers, and showcase what’s possible with thoughtful design and everyday waste.
