THE ROCKS PUSH

Australian swim label THE ROCKS PUSH was created because the designers wanted better consumer choices.

Kirsten and Mandy have six children between them and are acutely aware of the footprint they leave for the next generation; they want their grandchildren to be proud of the planet they have left behind.

THE ROCKS PUSH wants to help solve the problem of excess plastic in our oceans and landfill. They consciously choose to only recycle, upcycle or use natural fibres that use no chemicals in their products. They also responsibly make their leisurewear, they use off cuts of fabrics from one design to trim another, they’d rather sell out than be left with potential landfill.

There are five recycled plastic bottles in every pair of THE ROCKS PUSH recycled swim shorts. Each pair is double stitched for durability, features secure drawstrings, and is crafted from sturdy, quick-dry nylon which gives them the added stretch factor. So, they feel as good as they look.

Owned by Nick and Allison Thorp, World Treasure Designs is a small, independent jewellery business specialising in 100% Australian made, ethical and sustainable jewellery.

Our signature jewellery range – the Ocean Collection is designed to celebrate and protect the beauty and diversity of the world’s oceans. An avid scuba diver, part-time skipper for a local whale watching boat and lifelong ocean lover, Nick designed the Ocean Collection in 2012 as a way to combine his passion for the ocean with his skills as a jeweller. Inspired by the wildlife he found in his own backyard on the beautiful Fraser Coast, Nick hoped to raise awareness and cultivate a greater love for threatened marine species.

As ocean and nature lovers first and foremost, we strive to run our business as a reflection of our values and those of our customers. This means making 100% of our jewellery right here in Australia (for ethical and environmental reasons), utilizing responsible and sustainable materials, and giving back to protect the earth we love. We use recycled precious metals in all our jewellery (our silver is 100% recycled!), have switched to plastic-free and eco-friendly packaging, and run our jewellery workshop on solar power. Very near and dear to our heart, is our membership to 1% For the Planet, which means we donate at least 1% of every purchase towards saving our oceans and environment. We have chosen AMCS as the largest recipient of our donations due to their dedication and proven track record in protecting our precious ocean wildlife. It makes us so proud that every purchase helps to protect and preserve our oceans for future generations to enjoy!

Brush It On

Every single Brush It On product directly supports a conservation project of our customers’ choice. We take the war on plastic seriously and that’s why 100% of our profits go directly to organisations that protect the world’s oceans, forests, and wildlife.

The idea came from a desire to protect this planet for future generations. When we learned there is meant to be more plastic than fish in our oceans by 2050, we got quite upset and decided to take an active part in saving our planet. Viv & Alice created Brush It On to fight plastic pollution by helping people make conscious choices without sacrificing their lifestyle.

In 2018, we successfully funded our project on Indiegogo which helped us get our social enterprise off the ground. We started with designer bamboo toothbrushes and received a great response from the market, which motivated us to expand our offer and provide a wider range of zero-waste personal care products.

Goodwill Wine

If you are buying wine this holiday season, then why not buy quality wines that will do some good for our oceans?

We are Australia’s only certified social enterprise wine company, donating 50% of our profit to Australian charities. And thanks to a legion of loyal customers we have been able to donate $25,000 to the AMCS.

Our wines are sourced differently from most. We take the time to hunt down hidden gems that lay tucked away in wine cellars around Australia. Every vineyard has them – and they’re often award winners – but they’re in quantities too small to be of interest to the big online retailers or superstores. And so these beautiful wines often have no buyer, until we come along.

That is how we can offer our wines to you at a fraction of their RRP with a 100% money back guarantee.

Goodwill Wine is offering FREE SHIPPING on all our wines purchased in support of the AMCS this Christmas.

Matcha Yu Tea

“Unashamedly obsessed by Matcha Green Tea from our many trips to Japan, my mission is to help others enjoy the many health benefits of regularly drinking delicious Matcha while looking after our Environment with 100% home compostable tea packaging.

Since I was a child I’ve always had an appreciation of the natural world, especially the life giving ocean. For many years, I’ve seen the effects of plastic on our environment by being involved in community beach clean ups. Due to this, I do my best to avoid single use plastic in my daily life.

Since the conception of Matcha Yu Tea, I felt I had a responsibility to make the business reflect my values & avoid creating single use plastic waste while offering like-minded customers a chance to do the same.

From the outset we have packed our Green Tea in 100% home compostable packaging. We were one of the first Matcha businesses globally to offer this option and certainly the first to do so in Australia. Our product labels are also home compostable so you can simply discard the entire product in your home compost.

We extend this zero waste mindset by ensuring our products are sent out 100% plastic free and using Sendle as a carbon neutral courier.

My business is based on trust, respect and a deep appreciation of Japan and its Tea, as well as caring for Mother Earth, especially our life giving ocean.

That is why Matcha Yu Tea choose to be a business supporter of the Australian Marine Conservation Society and the incredible work they do to protect the ocean, in particular reducing the amount of single use plastic waste that enters it.” – Erin, Founder of Matcha Yu Tea

The Midnight Gang

Sick of stripping the bed in the middle of the night when there is an accident? Now you don’t have to with our 100% waterproof sheet protectors called Bed Mates.

Our Bed Mates go on top of the fitted sheet so when there is an accident, you simply whip it off and all your sheets stay perfectly dry. No more searching for your spare sheets in the middle of the night allowing you and your kids to get back to sleep in minutes! They can also be used for tummy bugs, bed sharing families or anywhere a spill might happen. Our Bed Mates are reusable and are proudly PVC free. They also contain no lead, formaldehyde or phthalates and they save water as instead of needing to wash all your bedding (mattress protectors, sheets etc), you just need to wash the Bed Mate.

One of the unique features of our Bed Mates is they feature stunning illustrations created by Australian artists. This means that instead of looking like a bed wetting sheet, they appear to be a beautiful piece of bed linen. This makes them look beautiful for the style conscious parent, but it also means kids actually love having them on their beds! Win win!
We have a beautiful selection of prints to choose, from Forest Friends to Vintage Florals to even some incredible Aboriginal prints created by the talented Ryhia Dank from Nardurna, where a percentage of proceeds is donated to the Indigenous Literacy Foundation.

The print in the photo here is called ‘Spirit of the Sea’. The ocean has always been a place of solace for my family and it holds a big place in our hearts. We feel so connected to the ocean and everything that lies within. And so we feel so strongly about protecting it. So we decided to donate a percentage of proceeds from the sale of this Bed Mate to the Australian Marine Conservation Society. We are honoured to have partnered with them and feel that it is the very least we can do for our oceans. So by supporting us, in turn you are supporting AMCS and therefore, our oceans.
