Founder Story: Q&A with Sara and Kyra

Mar 6, 2025

A LITTLE ABOUT OUR FOUNDERS: Q&A with Sara and Kyra  It’s no secret that TRASHY GOODS is the happy little company it is because of founders Sara Westbrook and Kyra Padulo. When TG’s fearless leaders are not working on how to do sustainable design better, you can find them brainstorming, sipping tequila, and gathering around Smart Susan for a tapas extravaganza. (Though not necessarily in that order.) We sat down with Sara and Kyra to chat about superpowers, the “why” of their company and customers, and how vinegar can do all the things. 

Plastic Material: From Trash to Treasure

Mar 6, 2025

Trashy Goods: Turning Plastic Waste into Home Treasure Plastic waste is everywhere, polluting our oceans, landfills, and air. But at Trashy Goods, we believe in second chances. That’s why we take discarded plastic—think old packaging, ocean plastics, and industrial waste—and transform it into durable, stylish, and sustainable home goods. Our Smart Susans and other upcycled designs use 98% recycled plastic, cutting carbon emissions and reducing landfill waste while making sustainability a bold statement. Ready to turn trash into treasure? Join us in creating a cleaner planet—one upcycled piece at a time.

Denim Fabric Material: Recycled Fast Fashion

Mar 6, 2025

Recycled Fast Fashion: Turning Textile Trash into Home Treasure Fast fashion is creating a global waste crisis, with millions of tons of textiles ending up in landfills each year. The industry is responsible for 10% of global carbon emissions and 20% of industrial water pollution—more than all international flights and shipping combined! At Trashy Goods, we’re tackling this problem head-on with circular textiles—materials that are rescued, reprocessed, and reborn as stunning, durable home goods. Our Smart Susans, for example, transform discarded denim into unique, stylish surfaces instead of adding to the waste pile.

Jan 19, 2025

Smart Susans Made from Recycled Fishing Nets: A Sustainable Spin on Style From deep-sea debris to dining table delight, Smart Susans made from recycled ghost nets turn marine pollution into a functional, sustainable, and stylish centerpiece. These abandoned fishing nets, once a major threat to ocean life, are rescued, cleaned, and transformed into durable, one-of-a-kind rotating trays.

Cork Material: So What Is Cork, Anyway?

Jan 19, 2025

So, What IS Cork Anyway? Cork: It’s not just for popping bottles! At Trashy Goods, we’re obsessed with this eco-friendly powerhouse. Harvested sustainably from cork oak trees (without harming them!), cork is a renewable, recyclable, and biodegradable material that lasts for decades. From fashion to flooring, wine stoppers to space travel (yes, NASA uses it!), cork is as versatile as it is sustainable. That’s why we use it in our Smart Susan—because sustainability should be stylish, functional, and built to last.
