SUSTAINABILITY

Social
Responsibility
We take our environmental footprint seriously by ensuring all products are proudly made in Australia, with the exception the yarn process being completed in New Zealand. It starts on farm with the growth of our wool to its cleaning and transformation into luxurious, sustainable, Australian made garments. We are dedicated to creating products that endure for generations to come.
Sustainable
Practices
At Echidna Kids we grow high quality fine merino wool, implementing sustainable farming practices with predominantly local manufacturing processes to ensure homegrown and natural quality garments, that last a lifetime.
Merino wool has many benefits, to you and the environment. In contrast to synthetic materials, wool fits into a sustainable circular model of textile production that minimises waste and pollution, containing opportunities for repair, reuse and recycle, being a biodegradable and renewable resource. Whereas synthetic fibres are more aligned with an unsustainable linear model of textile production, taking hundreds of years to break down, contributing to landfill and microplastics within our environment.


Our Efforts
We’ve committed to ensuring the continued improvement of our farm and the land we work on.
In the previous 10 years we have done the following:
- Planted approximately 7,000 native trees and 6,000 native grasses
- Spread 250 tonnes of compost each year to improve soil biology
- Planted mixed species pastures to provide optimum animal nutrition
- Implemented rotational grazing practices to maximize pasture utilisation and soil carbon accumulation
Traceable
Process
Echidna Kids takes great pride in its distinctive approach to production, emphasising a fully traceable process that ensures sustainability and ethical practices every step of the way. Our commitment to using 100% natural materials is evident in every detail, from the thread labels to the buttons, reflecting our unwavering dedication to sustainability. We stand by our promise: delivering products of unparalleled quality while upholding our principles of environmental responsibility.


The result of our sustainable and socially responsible practices are premium, Merino wool garments designed and made to stand the test of time
