SYDNEY – Ownership of the SustainaWool Integrity Scheme – which highlights ‘sustainable’ practices in the wool industry – has been transferred from New England Wool, Successori Reda and Vitale Barberis Canonico to to the Australian Wool Exchange (AWEX).
Launched in 2015 in response to demand from consumers and retailers, since its inception over 950 farms have been accredited, making it the largest sustainability scheme in the wool industry worldwide.
“We want to share the opportunities in the scheme with all wool producers and users around the world to help us work and grow together in an increasingly competitive and sustainability conscious landscape,” said Andrew Blanch, managing director of New England Wool.
