Thank you, Sustainability Victoria 💚

This week on 30 June, Sustainability Victoria closed its doors after 20 years of changing what’s possible. Its impact continues long after.

In 2021, SV backed an unproven idea: recycled polyester turned into hi-vis workwear tough enough for construction sites. That pilot became 863 recycled hi-vis vests, a take-back program with 10 industry partners, and an Australian first in circular high-vis apparel.

It sparked our research partnership with Victoria University, turning end-of-life vests into structural concrete, and helped pave the way for our national partnership with Icon Construction, recognised with the 2023 National Social Procurement Trailblazer Award.

None of it started with a purchase order. It started because one organisation was willing to invest in an idea before anyone knew if it would work. That’s what SV did, for us and for hundreds of innovators across Victoria.

To everyone at Sustainability Victoria: thank you. Your legacy is stitched into every vest we make.

🎧 Upcycling ASMR 🎧
That old banner? We want it.
That construction mesh? We want it.
That event signage sitting in storage? We definitely want it.
If you’ve got vinyl banners, gawk mesh, building wraps, fence mesh or promotional signage ready for retirement, send it our way.
We’ll help turn yesterday’s campaign into tomorrow’s merch.
♻️ Less landfill. More circularity.
Our customers just need something that works, they told us:
“We need an easy way to collect used uniforms.”
So we asked a better question:
What if the solution could solve another waste problem too?
We took gawk mesh banners (a material that can’t easily be recycled)
and upcycled them into heavy-duty collection bags ♻️
✔️ Fits perfectly inside our bins
✔️ Reinforced for heavy loads
✔️ Big handles = easy lift
✔️ Drawstring closure = simple + secure
Now used across the country to move large volumes of textiles,these bags are built to be reused again and again. Reducing the need for single-use plastic bags.
A simple bag.
Made from waste.
Used over and over again.
That’s circularity.
Need a better way to collect uniforms?
Let’s talk.

It’s Fashion Revolution Week (22–28 April 2026), Day 2 is about building bridges.
For us, that starts with full transparency.
This is George (Cutting & Sampling), Maca (Operations Manager) and Pla (Production Assistant & QC).
The people behind your PPE.
Your uniforms.
Your workwear.
At a time when businesses are being asked to meet modern slavery obligations, knowing who made your uniforms matters more than ever.
They are part of the team behind the PPE, uniforms and workwear we produce locally with visibility at every stage of the process.
