We are dedicated to reshaping the future of sustainable design and manufacturing.
Based in Botany, we specialise in transforming plastic waste into innovative, high-quality products - reducing reliance on virgin plastics and keeping waste out of landfills and our environment.
Our mission is to give discarded materials a second life, creating everything from hair combs and plant pots to lighting, furniture, and Interiors.

Looking to lend a helping hand and get involved with Defy’s volunteer team?
We offer volunteering sessions for groups of 5-15 people. If you would like to learn more please get in touch with our team at info@defydesign.org.

Workshops
We bring our portable mini-factory and demonstrate the entire recycling process in half an hour. This takes a piece of plastic waste through cleaning, sorting, shredding, moulding and finishing with a useful recycled plastic object.
Choose from a demonstration, school workshop, workplace workshop or customise to suit your needs!
