People. Planet. Purpose.
At Better Merch, sustainability isn’t a side note — it’s a core part of how we operate. In a $2.3B Australian promotional merchandise industry known for waste and single-use products, we exist to flip the narrative.
- Eco-Conscious Product Range
- We offer sustainable alternatives to common promo goods — prioritising items that are:
- Reusable and recyclable
- Made from natural or recycled materials
- Responsibly packaged and low waste
- Australian-made where possible
Our Environmental Goals
- Reduce landfill by promoting long-life products
- Educate clients on mono-materials and closed-loop recycling
- Partner with ethical suppliers and climate-conscious manufacturers
- Minimise packaging and transport emissions
- Encourage rebranding over discarding (via label overlays or embroidery patches)
Circular Mindset
We work with partners like Upparel and FabPatch to offer garment recycling and logo cover-up solutions, extending the life of branded products and reducing textile waste.
Education & Recycling Advisory
We believe it’s our duty of care to not only provide sustainable products but also empower our clients with knowledge.
Our education and advisory services include:
- Recycling Programs – Partnering with organisations like Upparel to provide textile recycling for old uniforms and merchandise.
- Rebranding Initiatives – Helping businesses repurpose outdated branded products using patches, overlays, and creative reuse.
- Internal Engagement – Workshops and content to engage staff and stakeholders in responsible merch use and end-of-life planning.
- ESG Reporting Support – Impact summaries that help clients track their sustainable purchases and communicate progress.
From product choice to final delivery, we are with our clients every step of the way to reduce environmental harm and maximise positive outcomes.
