AWSS is Australia’s home-grown sustainability certification for wool, designed to meet the demands for sustainable, traceable, and high-quality wool while aligning with Australia’s unique production systems, regulatory standards, and best practices.
The Australian Wool Sustainability Scheme offers two types of certification: SustainaWOOL and ResponsiWOOL.
Both meet our sustainability standards across the board and differ only in one aspect of caring for sheep, which is breech modification status.
This allows the Australian Wool Sustainability Scheme to be inclusive of different wool production systems in Australia, while importantly having clear separation for customers for whom purchasing non-mulesed wool is important.
