These recycled plastic feather earrings are inspired by NZโs endemic and underappreciated Black-billed Gull / Tarapuka and made from leftover plastic from our Remix’s Huia Feather Earrings. PLEASE NOTE: these are all slightly off white with markings and grit that makes them all unique. They are not perfectly bright white. Please read more about Remix and the great work they are doing below:
“Our recycled plastic products are a vehicle to empower people to make sustainable changes, whether big or small. With local waste we create products that have a sustainable story – this not only diverts waste from landfill but also provides a way to engage people in a conversation around reducing single use plastic. We are proud that our products are created in collaboration and with support from organisations such as the Christchurch City Libraries and specifically Tลซranga. Remix Plastic has chosen the tragedy of the extinction of the Huia to tell of the unintended consequences that can arise when sustainable practices arenโt integrated into our desire for new things.”
* Before producing the Huia Feather Earrings, Remix sought advice from a cultural advisor.
