What do our labels mean?

Our Commitment towards building a sustainable future

Moonshadow®, a Sleep Corp® brand, is proud to be one of the foundation members of Sustainability Tracker.

Moonshadow®, relatively new to the market, includes a growing range of bedding products or manchester and brings together over 40 years of development, with Protect-A-Bed® Sleep Corp’s flagship brand the market leader in Mattress and Pillow Protection.

Our vision is “supporting people to deal with life’s challenges by unlocking the power of sleep”. Something that we are committed to doing both ethically and with the environment in mind.

Proudly Australian owned and designed Sleep Corp® has the capability to manufacture a range of products under the Moonshadow® brand in both Australia and in overseas partner factories. Along with Protect-A-Bed® other brands in the Sleep Corp® family include Buddies®, Freshotel®, Opossum® and Airley™.

Acknowledging that sustainability is a journey that requires a clear focus and ongoing actions, our sustainability council are looking at changes we can make now and into the future across all areas of the business. From how we do things day-to-day, to the raw materials used, product production, packaging and distribution, we are actively pursuing sustainability.

Moving to new state-of-the-art facilities, in Melbourne Australia, in late 202,1 gave us the opportunity to begin implementing a number of new processes as part of our Industry 4.0 journey with a focus on reducing our environmental footprint. We are continuing to build on this today. You can read more about some of these in our profile actions and commitments.

As a member of APCO (the Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation) we have also committed to move all our packaging from PEVA bags to 100% recyclable packaging by 2025, with the first changes already beginning to take place.

Moonshadow Sustainability Actions

Social and Environmental Responsibility

We require all of our suppliers to abide by our standards in relation to human rights, environmental and ethical business practices and uphold the principles within the Ethical Trading Initiative (ETI) which we abide by. As we do, all our suppliers and partners must have a formal policy that outlines their approach to managing environmental impacts within their control. They must comply with local and national laws related to environmental standards and adhere to the principles set out by the Greenpeace Detox Movement which is committed to a toxic free future for people and the environment by the removal of hazardous chemicals from the entire production process for household textiles, garment textiles and footwear.

Recyclable Consumer Packaging

As a member of APCO (the Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation) we have committed to move all our consumer facing packaging from PEVA bags, to 100% recyclable cardboard by 2025. We have already made the first steps on this journey, with new packaging to begin rolling out in 2023. This packaging will not only be 100% recyclable, but it will also be made from at least 50% recycled materials and feature the ARL (Australian Recycling Label) to easily communicate disposal methods.

Sustainable Design Approach

By highlighting sustainability as important in our business this has fed into everything we do. This includes designing our building to reduce and improve our sustainable footprint wherever possible. Small examples of this include, laying the factory out to facilitate natural lighting to reduce reliance on electricity, utilising rapid-open/close roller doors to naturally manage air flow and temperature regulation, and using a lean approach to operations which leads to a more efficient flow of goods, and in turn saving electricity. We believe that making incremental changes can make a significant difference as little things add up
