We are a non-profit organisation dedicated to transforming discarded plastic lids into beautiful, functional art that is 100% recycled products.
These bespoke products are made in Australia and Handcrafted right here in the South West. We empower businesses, schools and community groups to transition toward a more circular economy.
Together, we keep our coastlines pristine and our community sustainable.
STEP BY STEP
Step 1 // COLLECT
We rescue plastic lids: #2 (HDPE), #4 (LDPE) and #5 (PP). Sourcing them directly from our South West community.
Our Team of Volunteers in Vasse clean and sort them by type and colour.
STEP 2 // CREATE
In our Margaret River workshop we transform these "non-recyclables". We shred them into flakes and melt them down.
No resins, no glues, just 100% diverted plastic waste. Using heat and pressure, we mould the plastic into functional art.
STEP 3 // CHERISH
One-of-a-kind by design. Our marble-patterned homeware, decor and furniture are handcrafted. No two pieces are ever the same and are built to last a lifetime. We help close the loop in the circular economy and make a tangible impact on the environment; contributing to a greener, better future, one lid at a time.

Why I Do What I Do
“After witnessing plastic waste threatening our pristine coastline during a 2019 camping trip, I founded Precious Plastic Margaret River to transform single-use waste into products that last a lifetime.
Inspired by the idea that we can live without leaving a trace, I am committed to proving that what we call "rubbish" is actually a valuable resource. My mission is to keep plastic out of our landfills and oceans by turning it into something beautiful, functional and permanent for our community.“
