From Plastic Waste to Eco Chic Towels: How Recycling Can Change the Way We Live
Did you know that in FY24 Australia used 4.0 million tonnes of plastic products and packaging? That’s a lot of plastic. Unfortunately, only 14% was recycled—the same as the year before. The rest? It ends up as waste, and too often in our environment.
Sounds grim, right? But here’s the good news: there are some positive shifts happening in plastic recycling.
Small Wins That Matter
- A CSIRO survey of Sydney beaches showed a 39% drop in beach waste by 2025.
- Australia’s plastic reprocessing capacity almost doubled in a year—from 305kt to 600kt.
That means we’re getting better at turning waste into resources, and slowly moving toward a circular economy where materials don’t just get thrown away—they get a new life.
What Can You Do with 18 Recycled Bottles?
At Dezinery, we love showing just how cool recycled plastic products can be. Our latest drop proves it: we’ve turned 18 recycled plastic bottles into a soft, luxurious, fast-drying bath towel.
Perfect for a quick-dry after your shower or adding a splash of colour at the beach, these towels are eco-friendly, sustainable, and effortlessly stylish. Think of it as eco chic you can actually use every day.
Why It Matters
Every time you choose something recycled or upcycled, you’re not just buying a product—you’re helping reduce plastic waste and supporting a cleaner planet. It’s a simple way to live more sustainably without giving up on style or comfort.
