Handmade with a Past: Tuesday’s Top Recycled Etsy Find
Let’s talk about a quiet little hero in the kitchen: the humble trivet. But not just any trivet — this set of 4 recycled plastic square trivets is a modern, minimalist dream made from 100% recycled household plastic. Yep, the same plastic that might’ve ended up in landfill is now protecting your benchtops in style. That’s a win.
I have to admit, I get a little thrill when practical things are also eco-friendly and just plain good-looking. These remind me of the ones I picked up at a zero-waste store in Melbourne — sleek, colorful, and almost too pretty to put a hot pot on. Almost.
Each one is handcrafted in small batches, with flecks of color that tell the story of what it used to be — lids, containers, maybe even your old shampoo bottle. It’s like modern terrazzo meets sustainable design. Perfect for gifting to a housewarming host or just treating your own kitchen to something that feels good and does good
Why we’re obsessed:
Made entirely from recycled household plastics
Each piece is uniquely speckled and full of character
A perfect match for eco-conscious kitchens, minimalist decor, and zero-waste living
Small item, big impact. And every time you set down your coffee pot or casserole dish, you’ll get that sweet little “I did something good today” feeling.
What a great idea! I was just looking at my toothbrush and was thinking, I need a new one, but what to do with the old one? Thanks for the idea!
