FAQs for Eco-Friendly Fabrics
Need clarity on our most eco friendly fabrics? Here’s what clients often ask:
Hemp is widely regarded as the most sustainable fabric due to its low water use, rapid growth and soil-restorative properties.
A fabric is eco-friendly if it's renewable, biodegradable, produced with minimal chemicals, and has a low carbon footprint from farm to finish.
Hemp, Linen, Organic Cotton and Tencel are 100% biodegradable, ensuring your merch doesn't linger in landfills.
Because the fashion industry is one of the most polluting industries in the world. Sustainable clothing helps cut down on water waste, chemical runoff and carbon emissions—making it a smarter choice for the future.
Look for certifications like GOTS, OEKO-TEX or Fair Trade. Ask your supplier (like us!) about water usage, chemical processes and labor conditions.
Not always. Conventional cotton uses heavy pesticides and vast amounts of water. Organic cotton is a better, more sustainable choice.
They can be slightly more expensive upfront (ethical sourcing may increase costs)—but their durability, quality, and positive brand impact often make up for it in the long run.
