Bib’n Brace

Bib’n Brace was founded with the ambition of eliminating the amount of useable hardwood going to landfill each year. We believe that everyone should take responsibility for the impact that they have on the environment, and our aim is to become a leader in sustainable production and practices. We are continuously looking for new ways to reduce our environmental impact, and to contribute to the global effort to protect the planet.

Our main source of timber is from demolition yards, or through the client themselves. We also try and recycled as much as possible for our cores, and often use recycled polystyrene from old industrial fridges to help keep the weight down, and reduce polystyrene waste.

Currently we are also working with the Central Coast Sustainability Association and Phoenix Packaging to come up with alternative waste streams for timber (MDF) and to create packing solutions to replace polystyrene.
