The Squiggle Trays

Multi-purpose soap dish, jewelry holder, toiletries holder

Each tray reduces 60grams of plastic going into landfill

The Squiggle Tray (Blue)
$25.00

Meet the Squiggle — a playful, hand-shaped tray made from 60g of recycled plastic, reborn from medical, lab, and household waste. It's not waste until we decide it is, and we've decided this plastic deserves a second life on your countertop.

Use it as a soap tray by the sink, a jewelry dish on your dresser, or a toothbrush holder by the mirror. However it lands in your space, it's doing its job: keeping one more piece of plastic out of the landfill.

Every Squiggle is made by melting and reshaping reclaimed plastic waste, which means no two are exactly alike. Swirls, flecks, and color variations are part of the process, not a flaw in it — so the one you get is genuinely one of a kind. Colors shown are a guide, not a guarantee; expect natural variation piece to piece.

By choosing a Squiggle, you're supporting real plastic waste reduction, one tray at a time. Thank you for fighting plastic waste with us.

What it's made of:
100% recycled plastic (approx. 60g per tray), sourced from medical, laboratory, and household waste streams that would otherwise be discarded. Hand-poured and shaped, so texture, color blend, and pattern vary from piece to piece.
