The Trophies
Berlin Commercial award trophies are created using flexible plastic waste (LDPE) – a material typically not recyclable. Each year, they prevent around 400kg of CO₂ from entering the atmosphere.
Melted and pressed into shape, each piece is unique in texture and tone, and weighs around 1.4kg. Partly sourced from ocean waste, the trophies float on water – a detail we like to think of as poetic.
