Our Sustainability Commitment: Good for You, Kind to Our Planet
At MyDealsOnline, we believe that getting a great deal shouldn’t cost the Earth. Since our humble beginnings in a Melbourne home office back in 2012, we’ve been driven by a simple idea: making quality products accessible to all Australians without compromising our environmental responsibilities. We understand that true value isn’t just about price—it’s about making choices that are good for our community and our planet
From Small Steps to Meaningful Progress
Our sustainability journey began with simple but important steps: reducing packaging waste, optimizing delivery routes to cut emissions, and partnering with suppliers who share our environmental values. Today, we’re proud to have:
Eliminated 85% of single-use plastics from our packaging since 2015
Achieved carbon-neutral delivery for all Melbourne metro orders
Sourced 40% of our products from Australian manufacturers to reduce shipping distances
Donated over $50,000 to local environmental initiatives through our “Round Up for Nature” program
“We started small, but every year we challenge ourselves to do more. It’s not about being perfect—it’s about making genuine progress.” – Shyni, Founder & CEO
Packaging with Purpose: Less Waste, More Thought
We’ve completely reimagined our packaging to minimize environmental impact while keeping your items safe:
100% recyclable cardboard boxes sized perfectly to avoid unnecessary space
Biodegradable air cushions made from plant-based materials instead of plastic bubble wrap
Paper tape only – we’ve eliminated all plastic shipping tapes
Minimal branding to reduce ink usage while maintaining that exciting unboxing experience
Our Partnership with Nikame
We’re especially proud of our collaboration with Nikamey, our featured Australian lingerie brand. By supporting local manufacturing, we:
Reduce international shipping emissions by 75% compared to overseas alternatives
Support ethical working conditions and fair wages for Australian workers
Ensure higher quality control that results in longer-lasting products
Maintain smaller inventory batches to prevent overproduction waste
