Sustainability on Wheels – How Birds on Bikes Prioritises Eco-Friendly Choices

Our Commitment to Sustainable Cycling Apparel

At Birds on Bikes, sustainability isn’t just a buzzword; it’s the core of who we are. Every decision we make is guided by our commitment to creating eco-friendly, high-quality cycling apparel with a minimal environmental footprint. Join us as we take you behind the scenes to see how we prioritize sustainability at every step.

1. Choosing Recycled and Eco-Conscious Fabrics

Fabric choice is a big part of our environmental impact, so we carefully select materials that are as kind to the planet as they are to you. We use REPREVE®, a recycled polyester made from post-consumer plastics, and organic cotton that’s sustainably harvested and biodegradable. These fabrics not only reduce waste but offer excellent performance benefits like moisture-wicking, thermal regulation, and antibacterial properties.

2. Minimizing Waste Through Ethical Production

Sustainable practices at Birds on Bikes go beyond our fabric selection. In our Brisbane-based production space, we use in-house techniques to minimise waste by maximising each fabric roll, reducing scraps and offcuts. Plus, as an Ethical Clothing Australia-accredited business, we’re dedicated to maintaining fair, safe working conditions while supporting our local community with quality, ethically-made garments.

3. Eco-Friendly Packaging with a Personal Touch

Plastic waste reduction is a priority in every order we send out. Each piece of gear comes in our handmade, reusable bags, and our eco-friendly packaging from HERO ensures your order is protected without harming the environment. This careful packaging approach means that from our hands to yours, every step is rooted in sustainable practices.

4. Why Sustainability Matters in Cycling Apparel

When you choose eco-friendly cycling apparel, you’re supporting a healthier planet and fair labor practices. For us, it’s a commitment to the Earth and to the Brisbane community we call home, reflecting our values in every piece we create.
