Fully Renewable Resource
Seaweed is a fully renewable natural resource in Ireland. From sea to skin, we go to great lengths to maintain the unique purity of our seaweed. We do not need to use any of our precious freshwater resources for irrigation; we do not require the use of fertiliser, pesticides, or even soil. Every step in our process is natural and sustainable. Seaweed naturally absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere acting as what to refer to carbon sinks, as its growth rate is about 30% to 60% times the rate of land-based plants. All scientific research indicates that seaweed will play a huge role in fighting climate change by absorbing carbon emissions, regenerating marine escosystems, creating biofuel and renewable plastics as well as generating marine protein for years to come.

Sustainable Harvesting
VOYA help to protect the biodiversity of the west coast reefs through sustainable and traditional harvesting practices. At VOYA, our expert harvesting team check the tide levels of the Atlantic Ocean weeks in advance to strategically plan which type of seaweed to harvest based on tides and weather conditions. They only use sustainable harvesting practices, which simply means that the seaweed is selected by eye and harvested by hand. No machinery is used so as not to harm the delicate seabed or marine life. Only a small portion of the seaweed is cut at a time to ensure it grows back within 6 - 24 months. The harvesters, like farmers, move on to the different parts of the reef to allow it to fully grow back and replenish, thus creating sustainable harvesting. This allows species of juvenile algae to flourish and regrow, the team then monitors how the reefs and species are regrowing in different locations.
The Ocean Bottle – stopping ocean bound plastic
The Ocean Bottle, designed to last a lifetime, has an impactful mission to stop 7 Billion Plastic Bottles from entering our oceans by 2025. When you buy an ocean bottle from Arid Zone, you fund the collection of 1000 ocean-bound plastic bottles. Local coastal communities turn those bottles into a sustainable livelihood using our innovative exchange platform. Many brands have already chosen Ocean Bottle as a partner to help have a direct and tangible environmental impact. Contact us to learn how this bottle can bolster your CSR activities.
Plastic Free Packaging
We made our packaging minimal in size to preserve natural resources. We use recycled kraft board. We developed it utilising soy-based inks instead of the more common fossil fuel ink. There is zero plastic and small amount of animal free glue holding it together. We transfer our stock into kraft card pick boxes. They are picked and mailed in a small compostable mailer. We are looking into reusable mailers because whilst compostable mailers are great, the reality is there are so few facilities in Australia that can take them, if you can add them to your home compost that is the best current way.
Chemicals in production
The fashion industry currently uses over 8,000 chemicals in the processing and manufacturing of materials. Many of these chemicals are not even identified, let alone researched for safety. Of the ones that have been investigated, over 2,000 pose a significant threat to human health and are categorised as ‘substances of concern’. Due to decentralised supply chains, there is a lack of transparency in the fashion industry regarding chemical use and their full effects on the environment. To divert from these unsustainable and toxic chemical practices, we use Oeko-Tex certified dyehouses to ensure no toxic substances are used in the dying of our fabrics.

Recycled Nylon Elastic
Elastic needs to be soft, supportive to create a frame for underwear. It needs enough elongation to stretch and be comfortable to wear, but also enough power to hold. While there are many suppliers of elastic, recycled elastic is very difficult to source, so we created our own. Our in-house elastic is a beautiful, soft elastic that is made from GRS certified recycled nylon. The decision to be uncompromising on our standards delayed our launch, but we were unwilling to use virgin nylon. Utilising nylon manufacturing waste to create recycled nylon diverts waste from landfill.
Certificate
On A Mission Climate Positive Company
We work with On a Mission to offset our emissions and carbon impact across our entire supply chain. Our Climate Positive certification with On a Mission recognises that our business buys at least 1.5 times more carbon offsets than we produce each year. We are continuously striving to leave as little impact on the environment as possible, in all we do.

Clean the Seas
Enbacci supports the Clean the Seas project, in partnership with i=Change and The Seabin Project. Over 160 million tons of plastic is produced each year to create single-use disposable items and packaging.With no established system to close the loop, this has led to over 70 years of accumulation of plastics in landfill (40%) and the environment (32%), with only 10% being recycled. Plastics end up in waterways and oceans, breaking down into ever smaller pieces called micro-plastics, well known for entering the food chain through the water, air and food that we consume. Seabin Smart Tech, similar to a rubbish bin X pool skimmer, removes floating plastics as small as 2mm, filtering 600,000L of water per day from oil and surface pollutants. $1 removes 1.2kg of plastic and debris from the sea.
Safcol signs up with APCO to reduce packaging waste
Safcol is taking action to improve the recovery of packaging at end-of-life and increase the use of reusable packaging, working with the Australian Packaging Covenant Organisations (APCO). Safcol has diverted waste going to landfills by 392 tonnes, through plastic and cardboard recycling and food waste to compost. Safcol aspires to a 5% increase in landfill reduction to 411 tonnes by 2025
Protecting Marine Species and Tuna Stocks for the future
Safcol realises that the ocean is our business, and if we overfish tuna stocks and in the process destroy other marine life, we are destroying our own source of income. That is why we changed the way we fish, and have continued to lead the way in responsible fishing. We work closely with fishing vessels that catch our fish and do not purchase from any illegal fishing vessels.
FAD free fishing helps protect marine species
Fish Aggregating Devices also known as Fish Attracting Devices or 'FADs' for short cause destruction to marine life, when coupled with huge purseine nets, hauling up other species like turtles, and rays in the tuna catch. The combination of net fishing and FADs is what destroys our ocean life. Safcol does not use this deadly combination, we believe in fishing responsibly.
Safcol partners with Clean Up Australia
Safcol No Net Tuna is a proud partner of Clean Up Australia. For every can of No Net Tuna sold, we contribute 5 cents towards Clean Up Australia, helping the iconic Aussie charity provide free resources and materials to communities, schools and youth groups all year round, supporting Australians everywhere to clean up, fix up and conserve the environment.
Safcol supports local fishermen and the Australian fishing industry
Australia has a very well regulated fishing industry and the Safcol Seafood Market in South Australia, assist local fishermen to sell their stocks. We asist them to get a good price for their catch. By supporting local industry Safcol is growing our economy sustainably.
We Partnered with Greenpeace in 2011
We worked with Greenpeace to launch Responsible Fishing into Australian supermarkets with the launch of our Pole and Line caught tuna range. We have subsequently changed the canned tuna market in Australia.
Safcol Canned Fish Gains ISSF Certification
Safcol canned fish products are certified by the International Sustainable Seafood Foundation (ISSF). ISSF is committed to the long-term conservation and sustainable use of global tuna fisheries. Safcol has always taken pride in being able to trace its fish from ship to shelf. Safcol knows which boats catch its tuna, where they catch it, and what methods they use. Safcol’s supplier factories operate under strict government guidelines under the auspices of the Department of Alternative Energy Development and Efficiency. An integral aspect of the company's operations are to ensure the sustainability of the ocean.
ISO 14001:2015 Environmental Management Systems Certification
Safcol complies with the requirements of 14001:2015 certification for the processing of canned and pouched seafood. ISO 14001:2015 specifies the requirements for an environmental management system that an organisation can use to enhance its environmental performance. ISO 14001:2015 is intended for use by an organisation seeking to manage its environmental responsibilities in a systematic manner that contributes to the environmental pillar of sustainability.
Develop Educational Programs
We partner with businesses, institutions, professionals and everyone interested on investing on education about sustainable practices. We are working very hard to develop and launch an e-Learning platform where everyone will have access to educational material to help kids and grown-ups make the shift to a more sustainable life.
We are proudly donating books to schools
Our aspiration is that young kids are more conscious about our natural resources, water, and energy consumption. We want to reach as many schools as possible to help with the school’s curriculum by introducing sustainable practices that will help students to become the generation of change that we all need. Since we launched The World Behind Recycling in March 22, we have donated more than 25 books to Schools in Victoria.
Ocean Integrity Partnership to help pull plastic out of the Ocean in contaminated areas
We are thrilled to announce our partnership with Ocean Integrity, a social enterprise whose purpose is to remove plastic out of the ocean by engaging with local communities. Because our aspiration is to continue inspiring kids to get involved in sustainable practices and give back to community, we signed up to this partnership so the young generations can make a bigger impact.

Enzyme cleaners are PH neutral and low on environmental impact, since the only by-products are water and CO2. Free of harsh chemicals, enzymes are readily biodegradable.
Social and Environmental Responsibility
We require all of our suppliers to abide by our standards in relation to human rights, environmental and ethical business practices and uphold the principles within the Ethical Trading Initiative (ETI) which we abide by. As we do, all our suppliers and partners must have a formal policy that outlines their approach to managing environmental impacts within their control. They must comply with local and national laws related to environmental standards and adhere to the principles set out by the Greenpeace Detox Movement which is committed to a toxic free future for people and the environment by the removal of hazardous chemicals from the entire production process for household textiles, garment textiles and footwear.
Sustainable Design Approach
By highlighting sustainability as important in our business this has fed into everything we do. This includes designing our building to reduce and improve our sustainable footprint wherever possible. Small examples of this include, laying the factory out to facilitate natural lighting to reduce reliance on electricity, utilising rapid-open/close roller doors to naturally manage air flow and temperature regulation, and using a lean approach to operations which leads to a more efficient flow of goods, and in turn saving electricity. We believe that making incremental changes can make a significant difference as little things add up.
Business Clean Up Day
Highlighting sustainability as an important metric in our business has fed into everything we do. This includes taking up actions that supports sustainability initiatives on local and regional level. Clean Up Australia “inspires and empowers communities to clean up, fix up and conserve our environment” with more than 20 million Aussies having participated in events over the past three decades. Sleep Corp® is proud to have become a part of Clean Up Australia this year. On the 28th of February upwards of 60 Sleep Corp team members joined to “step up and clean up”, removing the rubbish and other waste pollutants from our local environment to help reduce the waste that accumulates each year. Our focus was on a local creek and park, that is used as a lunch or walking spot by many who work in our area. Interstate team members working on cleaning up an area local to them. This is an initiative that we will do at least annually. To find out more about Clean Up Australia, and how you can be involved visit: http://www.cleanup.org.au/

We develop and manage the strictest standards in the industry.
These standards include hundreds of requirements covering the potential impacts of aquaculture – including water quality, responsible sourcing of feed, disease prevention, animal welfare, the fair treatment and pay of workers and maintaining positive relationships with neighbouring communities. To become ASC certified, a farm is assessed by an independent organisation against every single requirement in the relevant standard. If it passes the audit, seafood from the farm can be sold with the ASC logo, which allows consumers to reward these responsible farmers by purchasing their products.
