Bared Trading Pty Ltd Sustainability Actions

Tracks shoe carbon impact

Bared says it uses life cycle assessment, which means it measures the carbon footprint of each shoe from start to finish. It says this helps guide product design and development. The brand also says it looks at materials, waste, and distribution as part of its sustainability work. This is a practical step because it can show where a shoe creates the most impact and where changes might cut emissions or waste.

Reuses leather waste

The brand says it runs an upcycle program that turns leftover leather waste into dog collars and leads. Upcycling means reusing waste material to make a new product with some value. It also says it reuses textile offcuts to help reduce waste. These steps suggest it is trying to keep usable material out of landfill instead of throwing it away.

Repairs, donates, recycles shoes

Bared says it has a responsible stock handling approach that aims to keep as many shoes out of landfill as possible. It says shoes may be repaired, donated, or recycled instead of being thrown away. This is a waste-reduction step, and it fits a circular approach, which means keeping products in use for longer rather than replacing them quickly.

Uses solar and water-saving gear

The company says its Melbourne warehouse has solar panels, water tanks, and water-saving faucets. Solar power uses energy from the sun instead of fossil fuels. Water-saving fixtures help cut water use. Bared also says it works with Cleanaway, an Australian waste management company, for waste removal and recycling. These are operational changes that can lower the footprint of its own facilities.

Uses lower-impact materials

Good On You says Bared uses some lower-impact materials, including recycled materials, and that some of its tanneries are Leather Working Group Silver certified. That certification is a standard for leather producers that checks environmental practices in tanneries. The brand also says it sources materials made from nature. These choices point to some effort to reduce material impact, although the brand still uses leather and other animal-derived materials.
