Supply chain
All our textile fabrics come from a cotton supply chain which is monitored by SEDEX and OKEO-TEX certification. This means the environmental impact of processes and the conditions of workers are checked to make sure they are fair and legal.
In addition:
- The digital printing process uses 95% less energy than screen printing. Both processes use water-based inks which are better for the environment than chemical printing.
- Left over ink is professionally processed, not going into landfill.
- Factory uses sustainable energy where possible (solar-powered).
- All processes carried out in-house in the UK to reduce air carbon footprint.
