Original Ugg Boots Sustainability Actions

Local Australian manufacturing

The brand says it makes its boots in Australia, which it presents as a way to keep production closer to home and reduce transport emissions. It also says local production gives it more control over working conditions and the supply chain. The company describes its workshop as fully based in Australia and says it oversees its own manufacturing process.

Uses repair and re-wear

The brand says it tries to extend the life of its boots instead of treating them as short-term fashion items. It offers a 12-month warranty, replaceable sheepskin innersoles, and repairs where possible. It also says it focuses on durable materials and quality control so customers can keep wearing the boots for longer and send less to landfill.

Recycled and biodegradable packaging

The brand says its packaging is recycled and/or biodegradable. It also says some protective bags are biodegradable, dust bags are reusable, and swing tags, thank-you cards, wrapping, and insert materials are made from recycled materials. These steps are meant to cut waste and reduce the impact of shipping and storage materials.

Animal welfare sourcing

The brand says it sources sheepskin from Australian and New Zealand farms and that these farms follow animal welfare rules under state and federal law. It also says the sheepskin is a by-product of another industry, so it is using a material that might otherwise be wasted. This is part of its claim to source materials more responsibly.

Uses some lower-impact materials

Third-party sources say the brand uses some lower-impact materials, including recycled materials, organic and recycled cotton, 100% recycled polyester fibres, sugarcane EVA, and repurposed wool. The Commons Earth also says some animal hides are LWG-certified, meaning they come from Leather Working Group-certified tanneries that are checked for environmental practices.
