Aboriginal Mats

Supporting cultural education and recycling, these uniquely crafted mats are a hit across Australia 1300 32 00 65 or www. Recycledmats.com. au

Heading into our 11th year in business, ( I know right, I have to pinch myself ) my team and I continue to push the boundaries in both design and purpose.

With another 30 + designs added to our range in 2019, we expect to easily surpass that in 2020, bringing more variety and creating new designs that many of you will be excited to hear about. We are rolling out more options for customized, bespoke options for community groups, sports clubs and business to have their own designs /logos /branding on a mat range too.

2019 saw us make big warehouse packaging changes to reduce our carbon footprint, and in 2020 we aim to smash 200 tonnes of recycled materials from landfill. We couldn't do it with your continued support and belief in what and more importantly, why we do things here at Recycled Mats.

Sustainability and cultural respect have always been at the heart of what we do. Our company motto of creating environmentally conscious products that care for our environment while embedding Aboriginal, TSI & cultural perspectives into the home, work and school environment in a respectful and meaningful way, rings true more so now than ever.

We are close to the tipping point, where environmental focus won't just be for those young eco-conscious minds it will be on everyone's mind. Where global warming initiatives at the government level won't need student marches across the world to highlight the fact that more needs to be done. And where we don't settle for the status quo but in fact continuously look for better, more practical, sustainable solutions.

We have passed the point of no return. Every decision that each of us make, does make a difference. Every discussion that we have with our young ones does help shape their future mindsets. Let's be the change, we wish to see.

In closing, 2019 for our family, was one of reconnection. Taking time away from the office with laptop and camera in tow allowed us to reconnect as a family, with community and mother nature. We were lucky enough to meet many new and existing artists and clients along the way. Our trip to various remote communities where we were invited in as guests, gave us a better understanding of the needs of remote life and the frustrations that are a part of the deep misunderstandings between Indigenous and non-Indigenous. Our work with Hope for Health in Arnhem Land headed by the very respected Richard Trudgen gives us hope that with a better understanding of each other we can work to bridge the gap. I cannot recommend highly enough the read " Why Warriors Lay down to Die " by Richard, a book that should be on every Australians reading list.

Australia's future is in all our hands. Let's make it as bright for everyone as possible.
