MiMCo Designs Sustainability Actions

Used upcycled and bioplastic materials

A 2021 collaboration showed MIMCO using upcycled semi-precious stones, freshwater pearls, and other archive beads together with bioplastic pieces made from discarded food and plant waste. The collection was handmade in Australia and was presented as an example of trying new material ideas for accessories. The article also said the work was linked to a wider effort to explore more sustainable materials for future fashion and design.

Supported an NGV commission

MIMCO supported a commission with the National Gallery of Victoria (NGV), helping fund biodegradable face shields for the NGV Triennial 2020. The project used natural materials and was meant to show a possible alternative to single-use plastic in protective gear. This is a sustainability action because it connects the brand to material innovation and waste reduction, even though it was a one-off cultural partnership rather than a full product line change.

Worked on responsible leather

MIMCO’s sustainability tracker says the brand encourages partners to source leather from tanneries accredited to the Leather Working Group (LWG) standard, which is a certification that checks environmental practices in leather production. It also says the brand works with suppliers that take a more careful approach to chemical use and water stewardship, and that it is working with groups focused on animal welfare issues in the leather supply chain.
