Sustainability
The Be Kind Tribe is always looking for ways to minimise our impact on the planet.
Making Our Apparel
T-shirts & totes: printed in Australia, using eco-friendly plant based inks. Our apparel is made by EarthPositive (one of the most sustainable clothing manufacturers), based in India and using only organic cotton. The entire production process is controlled and certified in accordance with the latest version of GOTS (Global Organic Standard). The facility has state of the art infrastructure, works with Fair Work Foundation to ensure workers safety rights and dignified and properly paid employment, and is totally powered by wind and solar renewable energy.
Why not organic cotton from Australia? The truth is that 98% or more of cotton farmers in Australia use Genetically Modified crops, making it extremely difficult for ethical clothing brands to source organic cotton that is readily available and affordable. India is one of the biggest suppliers of organic cotton in the world, and I have been extremely careful in selecting a company that source their raw materials in the most sustainable way possible.
Beanies: crafted by TheCommonGoodCompany in Melbourne using 100% recycled materials. Repurposing at its finest! How? Repreve® yarn is spun from 100% recycled water-bottles, weaving them into a beautiful beanie. By recycling materials, unnecessary waste is eliminated, as well as reduced water usage, land use and pollution that is typically involved with the production of yarns made from virgin materials.
Recycled Scrunchies: *Coming soon!* We're collaborating with an Australian fabric company to turn their excess waste into something practical and kind to the ocean (enter ocean-themed hair scrunchies).
Packaging
We're super proud to be using BetterPackagingCo bio-degradable postage bags, which are fully compostable and made out of cornstarch - you can reuse them after you receive your goodies or mix them straight into your garden at home!
Let customers speak for us
from 24 reviewsI’m seriously impressed, this deodorant smells so good and actually lasts all day, which is seems rare after trying so many different brands. It feels amazing knowing I’m not putting harsh chemicals on my skin, especially something I use daily. The texture is smooth, not sticky, and it keeps me fresh without needing to reapply. Definitely a new staple in my routine!

really impressed with how warm and comfortable this beanie is, always keep it in my car for when im camping. it’s awesome knowing it’s made from recycled materials too

I purchased one of your totes years ago at a market and it's lasted this whole time. Definitely going to grab some of the new colours as gifts!! :)

Have had these shirts and the beanie for so long now and they don’t degrade or anything. Super good quality. The material is comfy to wear and the size stays the same after washing / drying. The non for profit cause is amazing and I know it is 100% genuine. Couldn’t be happier with my products!

Shirts are amazing quality and have lasted years and still look as good as the day I got them and supporting an amazing cause!!!

Everything’s such good quality especially the T-shirts bought one for myself, my mum and my cousin they both love them too! And such a good cause that the business supports as well, makes it all even better that it supports helping the environment 💕

Love these T’s! Great quality. Amazing product 10/10

Love the ethos behind this and the products are great! Have had a t-shirt for a couple of years now and it is still going strong. Get so many people asking me where it came from.
I just love the whale artwork on it. Also have the beanie, which is a camping staple. It has a great feel (surprising seeing it is made from recycled plastic bottles). It is actually very soft!
Highly recommend this site and products!

Have purchased a few products and everything has been amazing and delivered very quickly. The quality is excellent and I’m looking forward to picking up a beanie soon!

The sweetest company! Love love love. All my orders have arrived quickly, fit & feel great. You can tell they are passionate about creating a strong community while putting the environment first

My be kind T-shirt has lasted me forever and I love wearing it to promote such a worthy cause

Mine are still going strong - 4 years??
Best shirts, I’ll be getting more soon ❤️

Bought one of these tees for my dad and he loves it. Great cause. Cheers guys

Great packaging, price and product - would 100 percent recommend!! Doesn’t make me break out as well.. which is so key :)

Your stickers are awesome. Mine's been on my car for years and still going strong. :).
