Our editors have picked out the best chunky knit sweaters from top rated brands, perfect to throw on and snuggle up in as colder days approach.

Get cosy, responsibly

Since sweater weather is here, we’re diving headfirst into the world of chunky knit sweaters from better rated brands.

As the leaves change colour and temperatures start to dip, there’s nothing quite like wrapping yourself in a chunky knit. It’s the seasonal transition the autumn and winter lovers among us have been waiting for, and these sweaters are our trusty companions for the cool days ahead. (Maybe along with a few of the fabled pumpkin spice lattes, too. Haters can hate.)

But, of course, not all chunky knit sweaters are created equal, especially when it comes to their impact on the planet.

These versatile garments can be crafted from a variety of materials, each with its own pros and cons. Some responsible brands opt for plant-based fibres like organic cotton and hemp, which are breathable and gentler on the planet, but may lack the insulating properties of animal-derived fibres. On the other hand, wool and cashmere, sourced from animals, are excellent insulators and are often biodegradable, but they require responsible sourcing to minimise harm to animals.

Our editors are here to guide you through the more sustainable choices and stylish brands that offer the perfect blend of warmth, comfort, and conscience in a chunky knit. Below you’ll find sweaters separated into plant-based and animal-derived sections so you can shop your values.

Why you can trust our recommendations

At Good On You, we provide trustworthy recommendations that align with your values and needs. Our mission is to simplify informed choices while embracing the “buy less, buy better” motto.

To ensure credibility, we aggregate comprehensive, transparent information on fashion sustainability—assessing brands using our leading methodology, developed by diverse experts. Our ratings directory of over 5,000 brands employs a simple five-point scale, curating a list of “Good” or “Great” brands making significant contributions to sustainable fashion.

Our editorial team, driven by expertise and passion, carefully reviews and approves each recommendation, upholding high standards of quality, longevity, and trend-transcendence.

While we recognise the value of reusing, mending, and second hand shopping, our expert ratings system guides you toward new brands aligned with your values and sustainability goals.

Glacial Melting Is Accelerating, Driving Sea Level Rise and Depleting Freshwater: Study

Accelerating glacial melting is causing the world’s oceans to rise year after year and is causing a loss of regional freshwater, new research led by scientists at the University of Zürich shows.  The world’s glaciers have been losing 273 billion tonnes of ice mass annually, causing oceans to rise by nearly a millimeter per year, […]

ACCC authorises supermarket soft plastics recycling

ACCC authorises supermarket soft plastics recycling

28 Feb, 2025

The ACCC has granted authorisation with conditions to the major supermarkets Coles Group, Woolworths Group and ALDI Stores to continue their collaboration to recycle stockpiled soft plastics and implement the pilot in-store collection program until 31 July 2026.

The ACCC first granted the supermarkets interim authorisation in November 2022, following the collapse of REDcycle, which operated a nationwide soft plastics collection and recycling program.

“Our decision today allows the supermarkets to continue working together to process the remaining REDcycle legacy stockpiles,” ACCC Deputy Chair Mick Keogh said.

“Whilst it is encouraging to see that some progress is now being made as processing capacity improves, the ACCC expects that the supermarkets will continue to prioritise stockpile remediation efforts to prevent further delays.”

The ACCC has decided to impose the same reporting conditions as the previous authorisation, requiring the major supermarkets to provide it with quarterly progress reports and minutes of each meeting of the Soft Plastics Taskforce. These reports and minutes will be published on the ACCC’s public register.

It is also a condition that all arrangements must immediately stop when the authorisation expires or is revoked.

“This is a significant issue for many consumers, so continued transparency about what progress the supermarkets are making in their processing of the soft plastic stockpiles is important,” Keogh said.

Authorisation will also allow the soft plastics instore collection pilot program to continue operating in Victoria and New South Wales and expand to other areas.

“It has been encouraging to see the pilot program expand under the current interim authorisation,” Keogh said. “Whilst we recognise that further expansion needs to be in line with available processing capacity, the ACCC expects that the supermarkets will continue with some urgency to expand these operations so that more consumers have the option of recycling their soft plastics.”

The ACCC’s authorisation is also subject to a new condition to prevent the major supermarkets from restricting recycling or logistic providers from supplying services to another customer.

The authorisation does not include authorisation for any conduct of the supermarkets and their program partners with respect to any proposed stewardship scheme.

More information about the application, including a copy of the decision, is available on the ACCC website.
