Kennedy Boutique Jewellery Sustainability Actions

Repairs and remakes jewellery

The brand says it remakes new jewellery from old, broken, or unwanted pieces and also takes on repairs that some jewellers would not bother with, including costume jewellery. This helps keep items in use for longer instead of sending them to landfill. The approach fits a repair-and-reuse model, which means making the most of what already exists before buying new materials.

Reuses metals and scrap

The business says it recycles all studio metal scrap and excess for reuse, and where possible uses recycled metals in new work. It also says scrap metal, shards, and production errors from suppliers are re-cast and used again. This reduces waste and lowers the need for fresh raw materials.

Uses lower-waste packaging

The brand says it ships orders using old packaging again and again, or biodegradable mailers, which are materials that can break down more easily than regular plastic packaging. It also says it recycles soft plastics, paper, glass, and metals in the studio. These steps are aimed at cutting waste from day-to-day operations.

Runs repair cafes

The business says it holds community pop-up jewellery repair cafes to teach repair skills and help keep costume jewellery out of landfill. These events are both practical and educational, because they help people fix items instead of throwing them away. They also support a more circular way of using products.

Uses home energy systems

The sustainability page says the family home is fully electric and uses solar hot water, solar energy with battery storage, and a grey water system. Grey water is lightly used water that can be reused for things like watering plants. The page also says food scraps are composted through a local network and some home-grown food is produced on site.

Supports community projects

The brand says it has helped start two not-for-profit projects in the sustainability and community space: The Sydney Library of Things and the Sydney Edible Garden Trail. It also says it has been involved in mentoring through the UNSWAD Internship program and local council work. These activities point to a wider social impact beyond jewellery sales.
