At Brandbank, we work tirelessly in our quest to create a greener world. To that end, our objectives as a proudly sustainable business are clear. To minimise the life cycle impact of our products with the aim to recycle, reuse and regenerate whenever possible, and to reduce the environmental impact of our packaging. Some of the practical ways we do this include:
- By implementing processes to minimise landfill waste of our post-consumer returns not only in-store, but also across our warehouses
- By consciously designing our products, with sustainability and end of life as a base principle
- Through the implementation of a company-wide proposal to convert all cotton fibres to ethically sourced cotton fibres
- By working together to implement a plan to eliminate or minimise product packaging and ensure it is sustainably sourced
When it comes to sustainability, since its launch 20 years ago, Seed Heritage has been a pioneer, leading the way with a range of ethical and environmental programs including:
- Implementing new processes to allow for faulty goods donation to charity, avoiding waste and landfill
- Recycling both plastic bags and cardboard at our warehouses
- Educating our rapidly growing workforce across Australia and New Zealand, with a set program to deliver knowledge workshops every three months
- Conducting a successful trial of corn bags across Seed Heritage’s apparel business
- Investigating accessory FOB suppliers and biodegradable bag options
- By 2025, Seed Heritage is aiming for 100 percent of its cotton products to support sustainable practices
