We aim to create soft furnishings and textiles that are functional and high performing whilst remaining environmentally and socially responsible.

By implementing upstream innovation to design out waste from the start, Weft focuses on sourcing sustainable materials, supporting local production, and promoting recycling.

Weft takes a holistic approach to circularity, contributing to the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

Circular Design

Weft’s textile designs incorporate circular and regenerative design principles; designing out waste, keeping materials and products in use, and regenerating natural systems to create customized designs suited to our clients' specific requirements and needs.

In sourcing textiles that are organically certified, recycled, and mono fibers, We promote environmentally responsible practices that provide higher quality and environmentally conscious materials for our textiles applications.

Using recycled materials in the production process further minimizes the need for new resources and reduces waste. By giving new life to materials that would otherwise end up in a landfill, Weft actively contributes to the circular economy.

Local Manufacturing

Supporting local and ethical production and manufacturing is another pillar of Weft's circular design principles. By working with local producers and makers, Weft promotes sustainability through reduced transportation, strengthening local economies, and ensuring better labor practices.

With over 10 years of working with local makers, we have proudly built long-lasting relationships with our suppliers and makers to establish mutually beneficial agreements to support the supply chain and the environment within the local manufacturing sector.

Transparency

Transparency within our manufacturing and supply chain is something very important to Weft, and we are happy to disclose the origins of our textiles and soft furnishings, as well as any details of our local manufacturing and workrooms. For any question or queries on our supply chain, please email info@weft-textiles.com.

Sustainability Consultations and Reports

Weft offers sustainability consultations to create environmentally responsible textile applications suitable for events, residential, and commercial spaces, focusing on Australian-made production. In 2023, Weft began to offer sustainability reports on all custom soft furnishing projects. These reports use recommended systems maps and data to investigate Weft Textiles soft furnishings projects.

Our reports offer information on the environmental, social, and economic impacts of textile production and consumption. This includes data on energy and water usage, greenhouse gas emissions, chemical usage, waste generation, and worker welfare practices. Weft’s sustainability reports for soft furnishing projects aim to provide stakeholders with a comprehensive understanding of our sustainability practices and our commitment to reducing environmental and social impact, proposing how we, as Australia's textile sector, along with its stakeholders and all levels of government, can lead the way towards a sustainable and responsible system of production and use.
