Why brands should join Seamless: Exclusive AFC member benefits

Participating in Seamless places your brand at the forefront of a collective movement to transform the fashion industry in Australia, setting new standards for responsible clothing and circular technology solutions.

Australia leads the world in clothing consumption per capita, contributing significantly to the 200,000 tonnes of clothing that end up in landfills each year. This staggering figure highlights a pressing need for change. We’re challenging Australian Fashion Council Members to join like-minded brands striving to make a difference.

Enter Seamless, Australia's national clothing product stewardship scheme, now an independent organisation. Seamless aims to achieve what no single brand can do alone: revolutionise how Australians choose, enjoy, and recycle clothing.

Why Your Brand Should Join Seamless

Seamless is industry-owned, industry-led, and government-supported, offering brands a unique opportunity to shape and manage sustainable practices. Joining Seamless provides numerous benefits, including:

  • Exclusive AFC Member Benefits
    When you sign up before September 30th, 2024
  • 25% Eco-Modulation Discount
    Enjoy additional levy discounts for items made from at least 95% single fibre.
  • Operational Cost Savings
    The cost of doing this alone can be huge. Accelerate your activity with research, development programs, and business cases that offer commercial & circular benefits.
  • Increased Consumer Trust
    Demonstrate your commitment to sustainability, enhancing consumer loyalty.
  • Regulatory Compliance
    Stay ahead of future environmental regulations, reducing potential risks.
  • Market Expansion
    Align with global sustainability priorities, opening doors to new markets and opportunities.

As a brand placing garments on the market, you're responsible for their entire lifecycle. 

Seamless empowers your brand to:

  • Create durable, repairable, and recyclable clothing.
  • Develop new models for reuse, repair, rental, and services that extend product life.
  • Improve clothing collection, sorting, and recycling practices.
  • Encourage consumers to make better choices when choosing, using, and recycling clothing.

Participating in Seamless places your brand at the forefront of a collective movement to transform the fashion industry in Australia, setting new standards for responsible clothing and circular technology solutions.
