Country Road will open a 5-Star Green Star rated store in Camberwell, Victoria tomorrow.
This will be the 16th store of its kind in Australia and New Zealand, following the store concept launch in Chadstone in 2019.
Green Building Council of Australia CEO Davina Rooney commended Country Road for its rollout of sustainable stores.
“We applaud this iconic Australian business for continuously pushing the boundaries of sustainable innovation, and thank Country Road for showing the industry what's possible in a retail setting,” Rooney said.
The new 450m2 store has repurposed existing store elements to reduce waste, while a number of new fixtures incorporate recycled materials, such as recycled yoghurt containers, carpet crafted using recycled fishing nets, recycled paper wall cladding and parquetry flooring reclaimed from old buildings.
The store will house the brand’s complete range across menswear, womenswear, children and home.
The Camberwell site will also include Country Road's first dedicated Gift Wrap Station. Gift boxes are complimentary for VIP Platinum members, and available to purchase for all other customers.
The opening will include live music in store alongside complimentary coffee with purchase.
