At National Exports, we take immense pride in offering premium-quality wool that is not only exceptional in performance but also ethically sourced from trusted farms in New Zealand. Our commitment to sustainability, animal welfare, and environmental stewardship is at the core of everything we do. Here’s what sets our wool apart:
Mulesing-Free Wool for Animal Welfare
We are deeply committed to the humane treatment of animals. The wool we source is 100% mulesing-free, ensuring that the sheep are cared for ethically and responsibly. Mulesing—a painful practice often used to prevent flystrike—is strictly avoided in the farms we partner with. Instead, farmers implement alternative, humane methods to protect their sheep, ensuring their well-being throughout their lives.

Organic and Sustainable Farming Practices
Our wool is sourced from organic farms that prioritize environmentally friendly practices. These farms adhere to strict guidelines that eliminate the use of harmful chemicals, synthetic fertilizers, and pesticides. By doing so, they maintain healthy soils, protect natural biodiversity, and reduce their environmental impact.
The sheep graze freely on lush, open pastures, feeding on natural vegetation, which not only promotes better wool quality but also supports the ecosystem’s balance. This organic approach reflects our commitment to sustainability and producing wool that is gentle on both the animals and the planet.
Traceable and Transparent Supply Chain
Transparency is essential in ensuring ethical sourcing. We work closely with our New Zealand wool suppliers to maintain a fully traceable supply chain. At Wool Farming facilities, from shearing the sheep to delivering the final product, every step is monitored to guarantee ethical practices and premium quality.
NZEco-Friendly Wool Processing
Our processing methods are designed to minimize environmental impact. We use sustainable techniques that reduce water and energy consumption while avoiding harsh chemicals. This ensures that the wool retains its natural softness, durability, and performance characteristics.
