sustainability

Our promise

We promise to consider all the people involved in making our garments, and the environmental impact in doing so, and work to minimise our footprint across the full supply chain for each piece. This is an ongoing project that we are committed to. 

We make our garments in small batches to minimise the creation of unwanted stock, and implement a number of processes to reduce waste creation during the manufacturing process.
We source our fabrics responsibly, prioritising natural fibres and encouraging circularity where possible. Our cotton and merino is knitted in Melbourne, Australia, and we use recycled nylon for our activewear and swimwear.
We want Nisa garments to get a second life. As part of our commitment to circularity, we've launched a 12-month pilot of a recycling programme in collaboration with Little Yellow Bird.
We use sustainable packaging and offset the carbon emissions of our shipping. Your package will either be sent in a cardboard sleeve, box, or compostable mailer.

We offset the emissions created by shipping orders from the Nisa workshop to our customers. The credits bought are invested in the Jari Pará Forest Conservation Project in the Amazon rainforest. This project covers 496,988 hectares of tropical forest in Brazil, an area more than 3 times the size of Stewart Island, protecting more than 2,400 species of flora and fauna within it. This is a Verified Carbon Standard project.
