BRAD Custom Trophies
awards made from what Australia throws away.
Trophies and awards in your colours, engraved with your words, and made in our Sydney workshop from recycled bottle top lids collected through BRAD, the Banish Recycling and Diversion Program.
Every trophy on this page started life as a bottle top lid. Lids are collected from households and workplaces across Australia, sorted by colour, pressed into sheets, then cut, shaped and engraved. The colour is in the material itself, so no two trophies are ever quite the same, and every winner takes home a piece with a story behind it.
Choose a blend to match your brand, your event or the award itself.
Choose the standard trophy in small or large, or brief us on a custom shape.
A printed sticker or plastic plaque for the award name, the winner and the year.
one shape, two sizes, your blend
Our standard trophy is a tall, curved slab cut from pressed sheet. Pick small or large, choose the colour blend, then finish it with a printed sticker or a plastic plaque carrying your logo and the award.
It is the quickest way to an award that is unmistakably yours. Every one is cut and finished in our Sydney workshop, and because the colour is in the material, no two are exactly alike.

harris farm markets
Harris Farm Markets run their team awards on the standard trophy, in the greens, reds and blues of the produce aisle, with a printed sticker or plaque for each award.
Two sizes and a handful of blends give them a whole family of awards that still reads as one set. Photographed where they belong, in among the apples and broccoli.

or design something of your own
When the award deserves its own shape, we design it with you: a ring, a symbol, a silhouette, a second colour set into the piece. Two examples below, both made from the same sheets as the standard range.
colour that runs all the way through
Because each sheet is pressed from sorted lids, the colour is not a coating. Cut edges, engraved lettering and the back of the piece all show the same blend as the face.
the king's trust australia awards
The King's Trust Australia shares our belief that doing things properly matters. For their annual awards we designed a ring trophy in the awards' red and yellow, each one on a contrasting base with an engraved plate for the winner's name.
The rings are pressed from red and yellow lids and the bases from blue and black, so the colour runs all the way through rather than sitting on the surface.

accenture
For Accenture's Ditch the Paper Challenge we set a purple and white chevron into a black speckled ring, so the mark of the challenge is built into the trophy rather than printed on it.
The challenge name is engraved around the ring and the whole piece sits on a matching black speckled base.
