Hangers made from ocean waste
In the last quarter of 2021, Bisley transitioned to 100% of our hangers being made from certified 100% ocean bound plastic by Arch and Hook. In the reporting period, Bisley ordered 210,000 hangers for use in bulk production, converting an estimated 6.7 tonnes of post-consumer, ocean-bound plastic pollution into Bisley hangers and saving 6.7 tonnes of virgin plastic from being created. Our journey towards more environmentally responsible packaging and hangers has been guided by insights and direction from trusted organisations and consultants in the responsible business space. The Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation (APCO), Business Council for Sustainable Development Australia, ESG consultants, Better Packaging Co., and thorough desktop research have collectively informed our understanding of the environmental impact of packaging and provided insights into more environmentally responsible alternatives.
