How to find the best boxers and briefs

Boxers may be hidden under your clothes, but that doesn’t mean you should skimp when investing in them. After all, if they’re a poor fit, they can bunch up under your trousers or worse, leave you feeling uncomfortable all day. And what’s more, since the material sits against your skin, it’s important to choose the best fabrics for the job.

But what to look for when buying boxers and briefs? When it comes to finding more sustainable ones, choose materials like organic cotton, hemp, and TENCEL Lyocell over synthetics. They’re much softer and more breathable than the likes of polyester or nylon, not to mention better for people, the planet, and animals. Other elements to look out for are quality manufacturing—there should be no loose or uneven stitching, the elasticated waistband should be attached securely, and seams shouldn’t be bulky or scratchy. Keep an eye on the buttons on boxer shorts, too—some iterations from high-end brands are made from mother-of-pearl, which isn’t vegan.

With that then, scroll down to see our round-up of more sustainable boxers and briefs from “Good” and “Great”-rated brands.

Planning approval for B2B green hydrogen facility

Planning approval for B2B green hydrogen facility

Planning approval has been granted for Energys’ green hydrogen production facility in Hastings, Victoria, after 18 months of dedicated engagement with the Victorian planning system.

This project represents a significant step forward in Australia’s energy transition. The commercially focused green hydrogen B2B industrial supply initiative is aimed at displacing grey hydrogen currently produced from natural gas.

At the core of the facility will be a 1 MW proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyser, powered by grid electricity during periods of surplus renewable generation and low wholesale energy prices.

Under a strategic agreement, Coregas — an Australian producer of liquid hydrogen — will operate the site and manage all downstream logistics including compression, liquefaction, cylinder and trailer filling, and distribution to end users. Hydrogen produced at the Hastings facility will be marketed and sold under commercial terms through Coregas to a growing base of industrial and mobility customers.

“This project positions Victoria at the forefront of green hydrogen innovation,” said Roger Knight, CEO of Energys. “By displacing emissions-intensive grey hydrogen with a zero-carbon alternative, we are making a tangible contribution to decarbonising key sectors such as industrial gas, transport and stationary energy.”

Green hydrogen supplied from this site will reduce emissions in the stationary power along with road and marine transport markets through the displacement of diesel.

Energys’ core activity is the manufacture of hydrogen fuel cell power systems and this project will supply green hydrogen to the Victorian market including the company’s customer base.

The project’s operating model leverages grid flexibility, utilising electricity during periods of excess supply, which aligns with broader energy market goals of enhancing system stability and integrating renewable energy.

This development reinforces the company’s commitment to advancing practical, scalable clean energy solutions that support Australia’s net-zero ambitions and foster a low-emissions future.

Energys received support from the Victorian Government through The Renewable Hydrogen Commercialisation Pathways Fund (CPF).
