Related help & FAQ
What does cotton sourced more sustainably mean?
This means that 100% of the cotton we source for our own brand clothing, bedding and towels, is now ordered as Better Cotton, organic or recycled. To learn more about these programs, please follow the link: Cotton - Kmart
How do you know what cotton is used in a garment?
Around 95% of the cotton we use is sourced through the Better Cotton program, with the remaining 5% being organic or recycled. Any percentage of cotton in our clothing, bedding and towels are sourced from cotton sourced more sustainably, and the care label in the product will indicate the material composition of the product.
What is Recycled Polyester?
Recycled polyester is made by recycling materials into new fibres. Kmart mainly uses post-consumer waste in our recycled polyester, from materials such as plastic bottles, but there are small amounts of pre-consumer waste from textile production offcuts that are also used.
Why is recycled polyester better than conventional polyester?
Recycled polyester uses materials which have already been made into products and then recycled, this removes the need to undertake the extraction processing required to make conventional polyester and reduces our reliance on fossil fuels.
What else do you do to foster diversity and inclusion?
We aim to make Kmart welcoming for everyone and to ensure our team reflects the communities where we operate. We recognise that this will enable our business to build strong connections with team members and customers and will allow us to innovate and make better business decisions.

How can I support the Kmart Wishing Tree Appeal?
You can support the Wishing Tree Appeal by purchasing a gift (doesn’t have to be Kmart) and placing it under your local Kmart Wishing Tree. You can donate to the appeal by scanning the QR code that will be in-store or by going online and donating through the Kmart Wishing Tree Appeal website.
Where do the donations to the Kmart Wishing Tree go?
All gifts and donations go directly back to The Salvation Army (Salvos), across Australia and New Zealand. Each store connects with their local Salvos centre, who collect the gifts and invited families in need to come and select gifts.
