BRAD is the Banish Recycling and Diversion Program. Australia's go-to for recycling...
Handmade in Sydney
Each pair is handmade in our Sydney workshop from recycled bottle top lids collected through the BRAD Recycling Program. Lightweight, colourful, and made to be worn every day.
✓ Includes hypoallergenic surgical steel hoops
Most bottle top lids are too small to be sorted by recycling facilities – so they end up in landfill or worse, in our oceans. Meanwhile, fast fashion accessories are worn a handful of times and discarded.
We saw a chance to solve both problems at once – turning waste plastic into beautiful, everyday earrings that are designed to last.
Every pair starts as discarded bottle top lids and finishes as a one-of-a-kind wearable piece – handmade right here in Sydney.
Ready to wear the change? Every pair diverts recycled bottle top lids from landfill.

Explore our full range of earrings, each made from recycled plastic bottle tops.
Yes! All our earrings come fitted with hypoallergenic surgical steel hooks, making them safe for sensitive ears. They’re designed for comfortable all-day wear.
Each pair is made from 100% recycled HDPE and PP plastic sourced from bottle top lids collected through the BRAD Recycling Program. No virgin plastic and no added dyes – the colours come entirely from the original lids.
Our earrings range from approximately 2cm to 4cm depending on the shape. They’re designed to be a statement piece whilst still being lightweight and comfortable for everyday wear.
Because every pair is made from a unique blend of recycled lids, no two pairs are ever identical. The colours and patterns will vary – that’s what makes them special. Think of it as wearable art.
We currently offer five shapes: Daisy, Sail, Window, Aztec, and Droplet. Each shape comes in a range of colour combinations determined by the recycled lids used in that batch.
Your BRAD earrings are durable and water-resistant. Simply wipe them with a damp cloth if needed. Avoid exposing them to extreme heat. Store them flat or hanging to maintain the hook shape.
Absolutely! When you’re done with your earrings, you can send them back to us through the BRAD Recycling Program and we’ll recycle them into new products. That’s the circular economy in action.
1 handmade pair. Recycled bottle tops diverted from landfill. Hypoallergenic hooks. Made right here in Sydney.
