Sustainability & Packaging

By 2025, we aim to have all packaging re-usable, recyclable or compostable

At Best&Less we are proud signatories to the Australian Packaging Covenant and have been for the last five years. Our goal is to have all packaging recyclable, re-useable or compostable by 2025. Through APCO we follow the Sustainable Packaging Guidelines of which the principals are:

1. Fit for Purpose – designed to consumers’ needs and cost effective
2. Resource Efficiency – minimise the use of materials without compromising quality or safety
3. Low-impact Materials – designed to minimise impact on the environment
4. Resource Recovery – designed to maximise recovery and recycling

Best&Less also joined the Sustainability Advantage Program in 2018, which is offered through the NSW Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH) and provides solutions to sustainability guidelines and training by expert consultants. Our focus has been on four key pillars:

1. Waste
2. Packaging
3. Energy/Co2
4. Sustainable Clothing

We have made considerable progress in all four areas and it is an ongoing scheme of improvement.

Best&Less has started the journey of integrating the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s) into our business with a focus on environmental impacts of fast fashion and human rights concerns in the supply chain. We are also driving a push towards circularity and greater transparency in clothing and textile manufacturing.

We are continually investigating ways in which we can make a significant positive difference with regards to sustainability and have identified priority areas for action and gaps to address.

Best&Less has produced an Organic Cotton Range for the past six years with cotton that is Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certified.
