One Planet

One Planet as it is today is the culmination of mergers between Aiking Equipment, Adventure Designs and One Planet, and owned by Managing Director Andrew King. (He’s got a bit of experience in the industry: he first began making rucksacks in 1988!)

One Planet is a small company, employing around 30 people. It is very much a hands-on operation, with everything from design to production to sales done from the Melbourne factory and office, allowing real control over quality, the company’s direction, customer satisfaction, and just about everything else.

Their philosophy is simple:

make it good, make it work, make it last.

One Planet has been manufacturing outdoor gear for more than 30 years, during which time both products and company have continually evolved. Since 2005 they have also been a carbon neutral factory which is just incredible and not something a lot of outdoor equipment companies can call themselves.

 

What it means to be a CO² neutral factory 
To minimise their environmental impact, One Planet follows a very stringent daily operating routine in their Melbourne factory.

• Staff travel to and from work, on flights and public transport, is calculated and offset through Green Fleet. Flights are also carbon offset.
• All paper is reused, then recycled.
• All paper, cardboard, soft and hard plastics, steel and aluminum from the factory and office are recycled.
• All electricity is ‘GreenPower’ accredited renewable energy.
• Food is prepared on site and provided in their canteen: this means less travel, cheaper food, and healthier options.
