sustainability

All our blanks are made from certified eco-friendly materials like organic cotton and recycled polyester. We work solely with brands like Stanley/Stella and Continental Clothing who share our values, meaning we only stock premium products manufactured to meet rigorous ethical and environmental standards like Fair Wear and GOTS.

Packaging is a massive source of plastic and pollution, and is especially problematic in clothing and e-commerce industries. We've partnered with wastebased. and noissue to ensure all of our packaging is 100% non-toxic and compostable or recyclable. In case of returns, our mailers can be resealed and reused.

We use Epson SureColor F3000s for all of our direct-to-garment (DTG) printing. Next to superior speed and precision, our DTG printers are the most sustainable on the market: they produce less waste, the water-based inks are both GOTS and Oeko-Tex certified, and all parts are fully recyclable.

Our pretreatment liquid – needed for every DTG print to bind ink to the garment – is also Oeko-Tex certified, meaning no harmful chemicals.

Our goal is to offer a 100% sustainable embroidery service. We work solely with TENCEL™ Lyocell, GRS recycled polyester, and GOTS organic cotton thread, and primarily use backing made from 100% recycled cotton or viscose.

For certain types of backing and appliqué, sustainable alternatives have not yet been created, but we continue to seek out new solutions for the future.

Our entire production facility is powered by 100% renewable energy sourced from wind and solar farms here in The Netherlands. For the small amounts of gas we use to keep warm during the colder months, we offset our carbon consumption by planting trees with a reforestation partner.

Energy is the biggest contributor to climate change, accounting for around 60% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Switching to green energy sources is key to achieving the sustainable development goals, and we're proud to be a carbon-neutral business.

We offer fully carbon-neutral shipping.

We've partnered with PostNL, DHL Express, and DeutschePost, all of whom have made sustainability a priority through company-wide goals in line with our values. As our carriers continue working towards eliminating the net carbon-footprint of their logistics networks – such as by switching to fully electric fleets – we continue to offset all carbon emissions generated in the delivery of our orders.

As a member of 1% for the Planet, we donate 1% of all our sales to environmental non-profit partners, regardless of our own profit.

Today, the community includes over 2,000 businesses like us and thousands of non-profit partners operating across 60+ countries who recognise that the current level of environmental giving - only 3% of total philanthropy - is not enough to solve the most pressing issues facing our planet. But, with over $225 million donated by the community to date, we're working hard to change that.

We've partnered with Trees for All to plant one tree for every 10 products we decorate.

Trees for All is a Dutch non-profit whose projects in The Netherlands and abroad also foster greater biodiversity and better living conditions for the local population.

Trees absorb carbon from the atmosphere and provide habitat to 80% of terrestrial biodiversity – yet we lose 3.5 billion every year. Through this commitment, we're pushing back.
