Lids4Kids Australia

Lids4Kids Australia was founded as a grass-roots 100% volunteer project in May 2019 by Timothy Miller, a Canberra-based full-time house Dad with three boys under ten. When Tim enquired about where to drop off his thousands of plastic bottle lids, the ACT Government advised him that any piece of plastic smaller than a credit card can’t be recycled and had to go to landfill. Whilst Tim is a revhead owning 1950s Holdens his whole life, he’s also passionate about the environment, so he wanted to find an alternative.

Lids4Kids Australia addresses public welfare by advancing mental health and preventing or alleviating social isolation. In Canberra, we operate a Community Recycling & Education Centre (HUB) for people to enjoy social inclusion and engage in meaningful volunteer work by recycling plastic bottle lids. We also deliver hands-on recycling education to schools and community groups in the ACT Region.

Perfectly Imperfect Pen Bundles

At Lids4Kids Australia, we turn discarded plastic lids into beautiful, practical, planet-friendly pens. Every pen is handcrafted using 100% recycled plastic, transformed into unique, one-of-a-kind writing tools.

Sometimes though… things don’t go quite to plan. A little bend here, a quirky curve there — but like all good things in life, these pens are perfectly imperfect. They’re just as functional, just as beautiful, and just as sustainable as their straighter siblings.

We’re embracing their character and offering them in special bundles of five for $25. It’s a great way to support recycling, reduce waste, and celebrate the beauty of imperfection.

Limited stock available... so grab yours now!

Good for the planet. Good for your desk. Perfectly imperfect.
