Dezinery is Australia's first online marketplace dedicated to products made from recycled materials that are high-quality and well-designed.

What types of recycled materials do you feature?

We feature products made from recycled plastic (including PET bottles), tyres and rubber, textiles, agricultural waste like coffee grounds, and industrial metal waste.

Do you only sell Australian brands?

We focus on curating well-designed products from brands committed to using recycled materials and sustainable manufacturing practices.

How does Dezinery avoid greenwashing?

Look for clear explanations of materials, recycled content percentages, and realistic claims rather than vague terms like eco-friendly or green plastic. Dezinery uses the R.A.T.I.N.G. system where each letter stands for an element of sustainability: Recycled Content (0-49% Low, 50-84% Medium, 85-100% High), Assembly location (Australia/Overseas), Traceability of materials (Local/Imported), Impactful Design origin (Australia/Overseas - where sustainability begins), Next Life options (Yes/No for reuse/recycling/take-back), Generational Use lifespan (0-3yrs Low, 3-7yrs Medium, 7+yrs High). Includes supplier verification date. Comprehensive, yet simple and memorable. Focuses on verifiable product-level sustainability claims, not vague broad ESG.

The Bottom Line

Recycled products do make a difference. They reduce waste, conserve resources, and cut energy use when done well.

But their true impact depends on how materials are sourced, processed, used, and disposed of.

Sustainability isn’t about chasing a perfect solution.

It’s about making better decisions - one material and one product at a time.
