OUR Low Impact Dyes
The water our supplier does use is recycled through an in-house filtration system and reused again, rather than being dumped into rivers or oceans.
The dye waste is also burned at a high temperature in a self-contained environment, allowing for no smoke stacks or pollution to be put into the air.
Why Low Impact Dyes?
- contains NO toxic chemicals
- high absorption rates and a decreased use of rinse water creating less waste water.
- Certified Standard 100 by Oeko-Tex®
- Certified BlueSign®
*Used in All our products.
What's RPET?
When looking for materials to use for our eco-friendly products, I discovered RPET—a thread material made from recycled plastic bottles.
Why RPET?
- dries quickly
- strong fibers that don't wear down as quickly
- being flexible and resistant to wrinkles and shrinking.
- gives use to seemingly useless and discarded plastic bottles.
- Certified Global Recycled Standard (GRS)
- Certified Organic Blended Content Standard (OCS)
- Certified Worldwide Responsible Accredited Production (WRAP)
*Used in our RPET Love Birds Tee (Unisex).
