Our Sustainability Efforts

Sustainability is important to us. That`s why we`re getting greener every step of the way, while still providing you with the quality products you deserve. Around 85% of all textiles produced by the fashion industry end up in landfills, making it a major contributor to environmental damage. What’s more, one in every five items produced by the fashion industry reaches landfills without being worn even once.

We only produce items we get an order for, avoiding textile waste from overproduction. Our partner’s high-quality printing techniques creates almost no wastewaters and uses less energy than standard industry printers. 

Our Production

Each product you see in our catalog is made specifically for you. This allows us to avoid overproduction and textile waste, and we’re continuously working toward greener production.

Our Printing Techniques & Materials

This method is typically used for products with high cotton fabric content, like t-shirts, hoodies, tote bags, etc. Our clothing designs are fulfilled using various methods. Many of our products use the direct-to-garment (DTG) technique, which is a printing method where ink is first sprayed directly onto the garment, and then it soaks into the fabric. It’s like printing on paper, but on clothing. We use Kornit printers that generate almost zero wastewater and use less energy than standard industry printers, which lowers our carbon footprint. The inks we use for printing are Oeko-Tex™ certified, vegan, water-based, and free of harmful chemicals. We take sustainability seriously, that’s why we take care to properly dispose of any left-over ink according to the ink supplier guidelines.

Embroidery

We embroider our products with Oeko-Tex™ certified threads, meaning they’re safe for both adult and children's clothing. Compared to printing, embroidery is generally more durable and produces less environmental waste.

Eco-friendly product materials

There are a lot of reasons why a product or material could be considered sustainable. Currently, our eco-friendly product collection consists of items made of at least 70% organic or recycled materials, or a mix of these materials.

Our Production times

Each product you see in our catalog is made just for you! This means once you place the order, we start working to get it to you. It takes time for us to create and send out your perfect product all while limiting waste and helping the environment.

Our Product Packaging

All apparel products are packed in post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic mailers. The amount of PCR in the packaging will differ depending on where your order gets packed, but it’s at least 50% for the outside (white or grey) poly mailer bags and at least 30% for the inside (clear) bags used in multi-item shipments. PCR packaging is made from everyday items, like used plastic bags and bottles. This material protects your order just as well as regular plastic bags, however, choosing PCR over first-use plastics reduces the environmental impact plastic has on our planet.
