Sustainability
In Hearts Wake is committed to manufacturing our merchandise and physical music in the most sustainable way available to us. Recognizing sustainable design as an imperfect journey of efforts, we continue to work with our suppliers and label team towards constant improvement.
As a band, and as individuals, we love this Earth and want to show her the respect and reciprocity she deserves. While modern life forces us all to make compromises, we try to avoid, reduce and recycle wherever we can throughout our supply chain. In the places where we cannot do these things, we will offset our energy consumption using high quality carbon offsetting programs in Australia.
Remember, there is No Music on a Dead Planet.
Manufactured Goods
Since the start of 2020, we have moved to the following manufacturing practices and in the process became the first known band to be a registered Carbon Neutral Organisation. If you'd like to learn more about the journey we went on to start to reduce our impact as a band, please check out "Green Is The New Black", our film about this process. Everything we manufacture is designed to be high quality and durable.
- All garments are printed on 100% organic cotton without the use of herbicides or pesticides (GOTS certified).
- Non garment machine wash items (wall flags, plush toys) are printed on 100% recycled materials at bare minimum.
- Our CDs are manufactured using "Softpak" packaging rather than jewel case, which reduces the carbon footprint of the package by 95%.
- Our Vinyl records are manufactured using recycled / regrind PVC compound by a manufacturer that uses renewable energy and a 99% circular environment.
- All music products are printed using 100% FSC Certified paper stock, and no plastic wrapping.
- All our CD and Vinyl packages are limited in stock. Once they sell out of the initial pressing, we won't manufacture more units of the same package.

Green Is The New Black is a story of passion and purpose behind an ambitious environmental feat of one of Australia’s leading heavy music acts, In Hearts Wake.
Their fiercely loyal following has been forged from their relentless world–touring ethic, passionate ecological advocacy and hard-hitting, melodic-driven music. The band have received four top-5 records, an ARIA nomination for Best Hard Rock album, 110 million digital streams and over 100,000 records sold worldwide. But the more they recorded and toured the planet, the clearer it became: they were unwittingly threatening the very thing they sought to protect. The band vowed to record, release and perform their next album, (Kaliyuga), in a radically new and sustainable way. Kaliyuga became the first carbon offset album, pressed on recycled materials to hit the top 5 in the ARIA Australian Albums Chart as it debuted at #3.
Green is the New Black is a carbon off-set documentary that captures the twists and turns of the band’s urgent mission to stop at nothing as they face bushfires and an unprecedented global pandemic throughout the album’s creation.
Through conversation with creatives, experts and professionals such as Damon Gameau (2040, That Sugar Film), Tamara Smith (Greens Member for Parliament), AY Young (United Nations Young Leader), Jess Ducrou (Splendour In The Grass Festival co-founder), Heidi Lennfer (Cloud Control and FEAT Artists), and Luke Logemann (UNFD Records), join In Hearts Wake as they uncover unsettling truths, face human adversity and discover inspiring solutions for a new earth-aligned way forward for the music industry and its fans.
