ECO FRIENDLY & SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES

Local fulfilment

The international shipping industry is responsible for more than 2% of carbon emissions globally and this figure is growing rapidly. By partnering with a global network of print labs, we can produce products closer to the end-recipient and massively reduce our carbon emissions.

Eco inks

Water based inks offer an alternative to PVC inks that doesn't contain all the toxic chemicals of its plastisol counterparts. Instead it’s comprised of naturally occurring substances. No harmful solvents are required for clean up which reduces toxic waste.

Neo-Pigment inks (water-based) are 100% non-hazardous, toxin-free and completely vegan friendly. They meet the strictest industry standards as defined by Oeko-Tex 100 safety applications for infant wear, Global Organic Textiles (GTOTS-3V), Residues Standard List (RSL) and the American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists.

Eco solvent inks come from ether extracts taken from refined mineral oil. While they still contain harmful solvents, they have a lower VOC content than normal solvent inks and are significantly less hazardous. We have minimised the use of solvent inks throughout our supply chain and ensure eco solvent inks are used when necessary.

Sustainably sourced wood and paper

FSC approved

FSC-certified forests are managed with consideration for people, wildlife and the environment. They are independently audited to ensure they meet the FSC’s Principles and Criteria for Forest Management.

Check out the 10 FSC principles.

Sustainable sources

Many of our labs also source their pulp from sustainably managed forests. In this case, forests have not met all standards for FSC certification, but are being actively managed to promote sustainability.

Plastic free

These products do not contain any plastic.

Please note that this refers to the product ingredients and not the packaging. Packaging will vary depending on the production lab.

Organic

Organic cotton is grown using methods and materials that have a low impact on the environment. Organic production systems replenish and maintain soil fertility, reduce the use of toxic and persistent pesticides and fertilizers, and build biologically diverse agriculture.

Recycled content

The product contains a significant proportion of recycled material.
