Zanerobe Australia Sustainability Actions

Switched to lower-impact fabrics

Zanerobe says it has used recycled polyester, recycled nylon, and organic cotton in some products. It explains that recycled polyester can keep plastic bottles out of landfill and use less energy than virgin polyester. It also says recycled nylon can come from waste like fishing nets and old carpets. For organic cotton, the brand says it avoids synthetic pesticides and uses less water than conventional cotton. These are material choices meant to lower the environmental impact of some clothing lines.

Changed packaging and office supplies

The brand says it moved wholesale orders into repurposed cartons before using new ones. It also says it switched office supplies to recycled paper products, including toilet paper. In another packaging step, it partnered with Hero Packaging to make satchel bags from biodegradable and compostable materials for some online orders. These changes are aimed at cutting waste and reducing the use of single-use materials.

Used carbon-neutral shipping

Zanerobe says it partnered with DHL’s Go Green program, which is a shipping service that offsets emissions from delivery. The brand says this covered about 80% of its delivery activity and included online orders, sample packages, and general business freight. It also said it would keep online order deliveries carbon neutral after the 2021 holiday sales period. This is a logistics step, not a full supply-chain overhaul, but it shows an effort to reduce transport emissions.

Planted trees through campaigns

The brand has repeatedly linked sales campaigns to tree planting. It says it worked with One Tree Planted to plant trees in Australia, the United States, and Canada, including Black Friday and Earth Day campaigns. It also said customer round-up donations at checkout were used to support tree planting. In its 2023 update, the brand said it had planted 26,087 trees in total. Tree planting can support reforestation, but it does not replace cutting emissions at the source.

Donated clothing and funds

Zanerobe says it donated clothing to Thread Together, a group that redistributes new and excess clothing to people in need. It also says it raised money for the Australian Bushfire Appeal and for UNICEF through a collaboration with Atticus. These actions are social-impact steps rather than direct environmental fixes, but they still sit within the brand’s wider ESG activity because they support communities affected by crisis.

Reduced single-use items

The brand says it gave staff reusable cups to cut down on single-use coffee cups. It also says it asked manufacturing partners to bundle production samples in larger plastic bags instead of wrapping items one by one. These are small operational changes, but they are meant to reduce everyday waste inside the business and along the supply chain.
