Trophy Alternatives

A Sustainable and Innovative Approach by Upstream Trophies

In an era where sustainability is not just a choice but a necessity, the traditional approach to commemorating achievements is evolving, and traditional trophies are being reconsidered. Upstream Trophies presents an innovative solution, offering trophy alternatives that embody environmental consciousness, artistic expression, and forward-thinking.

The Need for Alternatives to Traditional Trophies

While traditional trophies have long been symbols of success, their environmental impact and lack of uniqueness have led many to seek alternatives. Upstream Trophies addresses these concerns by providing awards that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also eco-friendly and uniquely memorable.

Upstream Trophies: Redefining The Trophy

A subsidiary of the Better Future Factory, Upstream Trophies is at the forefront of redefining what a trophy represents. By using recycled materials like water bottles, we create alternatives to what is currently the norm, our trophies are a testament to sustainability and innovation.

Unique Alternatives by Upstream Trophies

At Upstream Trophies, the focus is on reinventing the way we celebrate achievements. Exploring alternatives to traditional trophies, we aim to present a range of innovative designs that redefine what trophies can be.

Here is what makes our trophies so unique

Tailor-Made Trophies for Every Achievement
Upstream Trophies offers a range of custom designs, allowing for a high degree of personalisation. For example, a trophy might be made of recycled tennis racket parts, or incorporates elements from specific products, whether the occasion is a professional company event or a basketball tournament, the possibilities are endless.
The Story Behind Each Trophy: Narrative-Driven Design
Upstream trophies stand for more than just an award; they are a narrative. Each trophy carries its history, transforming waste into symbols of achievement. This aspect not only adds value to the trophy but also sparks conversations about sustainability and innovation.
Technology in Trophy Making
Utilising advanced technologies such as 3D printing and laser cutting, we can create elegant and meaningful trophies from recycled materials. This innovative approach sets our trophies apart from traditional awards.
