Throughout its history, Down-Under Wool has always sourced sustainable products. By being transparent about the resources we use to create our products, we hope to reassure our customers that they are purchasing items that are made from ethically sourced and cruelty-free ingredients.
Because we are dedicated to promoting the domestic Australian economy, we exclusively purchase our raw sheepskins from certified Australian suppliers who are required to uphold Australia's strict requirements for animal welfare.
We purchase treated sheepskins directly from regional vendors all across the country, allowing us to maintain complete control over the quality of our goods from the very beginning.
Ensuring The Safety Of Animals
We condemn the use of animals as enslaved to people or the killing of them just for their fur. This means that we only use the by-products of hides from animals that were grown for the food business.
We only use sheepskins that are byproducts of the food industry. This means that the sheepskin used in our products are solely made from animals grown as food. Additionally, we think that by collaborating directly with our suppliers, we can guarantee that our customers will receive high-quality goods created from ethically and humanely obtained materials. Currently, sheepskin, wool, fleece and leather are the animal-based products we utilize.
We consider the following three characteristics to be essential for any wool product:
● Farms observe the Five Freedoms of animal welfare and treat their sheep with holistic respect.
● Throughout the entire process of manufacturing, materials are traced.
● Utilizing modern land management methods, the soil is kept in good condition.
Environmental Sustainability
We use all sheepskin hides that we purchase in some capacity since we are committed to the environment and sustainability. It is likely that there would be flaws in some of the sheepskins we work with because they are natural materials. Our skilled crew work around these to reduce waste, and we frequently donate our leftovers to nearby animal shelters.
Our suppliers collaborate to ensure that our materials come from verified sources. We aim to use new technology and procedures as we advance, both to lessen our impact on the environment and, most importantly, to maintain a high standard of animal welfare.
