You asked.Here's what actually happens.
How we keep our footprint small.
From screen to drain

Tap a step to see what we use and why.
Ink
Water-based inks from Magna Colours
We print with Magna Colours water-based inks: a soft, breathable print without the PVC base of traditional plastisol. Their core MagnaPrint range is certified to ECO PASSPORT by OEKO-TEX® and ZDHC Level 3, and approved for use on GOTS organic garments.
- ECO PASSPORT by OEKO-TEX®
- ZDHC Level 3
- GOTS approved
- No PVC
Screens
Soy-based cleaners from Easiway
Screen reclaiming and cleanup run on Easiway's soy-based chemistry instead of harsh solvents. Better for the crew breathing it every day, and better for what leaves the building.
- Soy-based
- Solvent-free cleanup
Waste water
Filtered before the drain
Washout water runs through our filtration system before it ever reaches the drain, catching ink solids and emulsion so they don't end up downstream.
- In-house filtration
Thread
OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 Madeira thread
Our embroidery thread comes from Madeira and is certified to OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100, tested for harmful substances. We are also moving over to Madeira Polyneon Green, made from 100% recycled post-consumer PET polyester.
- OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100
- 100% recycled PET (Polyneon Green)
Blanks
Brands that take it seriously
When a project allows, we steer toward blanks from AS Colour, Stanley/Stella and SoftShirts, brands built around organic, recycled or Better Cotton fibers and responsible manufacturing.
- GOTS
- GRS
- Fair Wear
- Better Cotton
