Nik Robinson

Nik has had many careers; radio broadcaster, creative director, donut maker and lecturer. 

 

He is passionate about using his creative skills to solve problems and make a positive difference, so in 2018, he set up Good Citizens with his young kids to take on the world’s plastic issue. 

 

It would take 752 days and thousands of failed attempts to finally launch Good Citizens Eyewear in April 2020. Good Citizens has one mission - to untrash the planet™ by turning trash into good. 

 

Good Citizens turns single-use plastic bottles into sunglasses frames. The frames are 100% recycled and made in Australia. 

 

It’s become Australia’s most awarded eyewear brand plus has been internationally recognised by the likes of Selfridges in London, which gave the brand an entire window for three months.

 

The story has taken Nik to the United Nations, a feature in Forbes US and keynote speeches alongside big name CEOs at global summits as well as talking to leadership teams of some of the world’s most respected brands including Google and Tesla.

 

Nik donates his time to lecture at numerous Australian universities to inspire the next generation to think cleverly about using recycled materials.
