As we become more aware of the impact our actions have on the planet, it’s no surprise that eco-conscious fashion is gaining momentum. From sustainable materials to ethical manufacturing practices, there are many reasons why eco-conscious clothing is better than traditional clothing. In this blog post, we’ll explore the benefits of eco-conscious clothing and why you should consider making the switch.
Using Eco-Friendly Materials
At our company, we’re committed to leaving a positive impact on the planet with every piece of clothing we create. We believe that eco-conscious fashion should be stylish and accessible to everyone. That’s why we source our blanks only from certified eco-conscious manufacturers. Our products come from Bangladesh and China, and we ensure that our materials are free from harmful chemicals and dyes.
Reducing Plastic in Our Packaging
Packaging is a big contributor to waste in the fashion industry, and we’re working hard to reduce our footprint. Our eco-poly mailers for in-house apparel orders are at least 30% recycled, and we’re working on even more sustainable options. We’ve also started using PCR plastic packaging for all in-house apparel orders. Our white/grey bags contain at least 50% PCR, and clear bags at least 30%. We’re gradually transitioning to 90-100% PCR packaging for all in-house apparel products in North America.
Reducing Waste and Overproduction
Traditional retailers produce items in bulk to save money, but this often leads to overproduction and unsold stock. Unsold stock is usually thrown out or burned, contributing to the 92 million tons of textile waste produced each year. In contrast, we only make products when orders are placed, reducing waste and overproduction. In print-on-demand, waste mainly comes from damaged items during printing, but we keep our reshipment rate low by taking all orders through a 3-step quality check before shipping.
Locating Fulfillment Centers Close to Customers
To reduce CO₂ emissions and lower shipping costs, we locate our fulfillment centers close to our customers. This results in faster shipping times and benefits both the business and the planet. We believe in sustainable production and only make products when orders are placed, reducing our carbon footprint.
Benefits of Eco-Conscious Clothing
Eco-conscious clothing not only benefits the planet, but it also benefits you. Here are some of the benefits of eco-conscious clothing:
Better for the Environment
Eco-conscious clothing is made from sustainable materials and produced with ethical manufacturing practices, reducing harm to the environment. Choosing eco-conscious clothing is an easy way to reduce your carbon footprint and contribute to a healthier planet.
Better for Your Health
Traditional clothing is often treated with harmful chemicals and dyes that can be absorbed by your skin. Eco-conscious clothing is free from these harmful substances, making it better for your health.
Better for the Economy
Choosing eco-conscious clothing supports sustainable practices and ethical manufacturing. By supporting these practices, you’re contributing to a better economy and promoting fair labor practices.
Stylish and Affordable
Eco-conscious clothing is no longer just for hippies and environmentalists. Many brands are now offering stylish and affordable eco-conscious options that are accessible to everyone.
Make the Switch to Eco-Conscious Clothing
Making the switch to eco-conscious clothing is a simple yet impactful way to reduce your carbon footprint and contribute to a healthier planet. By choosing sustainable materials, reducing waste and overproduction, and supporting ethical manufacturing practices, you’re making a positive impact on the environment and the economy. So, the next time you’re shopping for clothes, consider choosing eco-conscious options. Together, we can create a more sustainable and stylish future.
