New Good Design Awards Trophy

NEW GOOD DESIGN AWARDS TROPHY

From trash to treasure, Good Design Australia turns plastic waste into covetable trophies for the annual Australian Good Design Awards.

In 2022 Good Design Australia launched the new Good Design Award ‘Tick’ Trophy design. Far from being a token gesture, these trophies are in themselves stand-out designs and show a true dedication to practicing sustainable design values.

Winners at of the 2022 Awards took home the new trophy designed by Clandestine Design Group in collaboration with Defy and Bespoke Aluminium, with Vert Design designing the bespoke trophy packaging.

Each Good Design Award trophy converts one kilo of post-consumer waste plastic into an enduring symbol of design excellence. Each trophy also contains an Australian-sourced extruded aluminium tick, onto which winner’s names are engraved.

This eco-accountable project does more than tick green boxes. Good Design Australia’s recycled plastic trophies make a powerful environmental statement while providing winners with an accolade they can treasure for years to come.

With 1000 trophies already in play, Good Design Australia effectively diverts one tonne of plastic waste from landfill and marine habitats through this endeavour.
