Eco-Friendly Printing

All of our screen printing and DTG inks hold two key certifications. They are GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certified, which covers both ecological and social criteria across the entire textile supply chain. They are also ECO PASSPORT by OEKO-TEX certified, meaning every chemical and colourant used has been independently tested and verified as safe. Both our screen printing and DTG inks are water based and formaldehyde free. You can view full compliance details on our ink compliance page.

GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) is the world's leading processing standard for organic textiles. When your merchandise is printed with GOTS certified inks on GOTS certified garments like Stanley/Stella, every stage from raw fibre to finished product meets strict environmental and social requirements. This gives your customers confidence that your branded products are genuinely sustainable, not just marketed that way. It's a credible, internationally recognised standard that carries real weight with eco conscious buyers.

Our core range is from Stanley/Stella, a GOTS certified brand that produces organic cotton, recycled polyester and blended garments. Their supply chain is fully audited, with factories that meet Fair Wear Foundation standards for worker welfare. Every garment comes with full traceability from farm to finished product. We've carefully curated our range so you don't have to spend hours researching which garments are genuinely sustainable. We've already done that for you.

We take a number of steps to minimise waste. Screens are prepared using computer to screen technology, so no film transparencies are needed. Unused screen printing inks are stored and remixed for future jobs rather than disposed of. Our DTG printers use a closed ink system that prevents spillage. Water used in screen production and cleaning goes through a 5 step filtration system before disposal. Damaged or waste garments are reused for test printing and cleaning before being recycled into materials like carpet underlay or sports equipment. Our mailer bags are made from FSC certified paper.

Yes. Our entire print facility at 16 Whitehouse Street, Bristol runs on 100% renewable energy. That covers everything from our automatic screen printing presses and DTG printers to the lights and the kettle. Combined with our energy efficient equipment, GOTS certified inks and FSC certified packaging, your order is produced with minimal environmental impact from start to finish. You can read our full commitments in our environmental policy.

No. Our whole operation runs this way as standard, so there's no sustainable option to request and no premium to pay. Every order, from a single print on demand hoodie to thousands of screen printed t-shirts, uses the same certified inks, renewable energy and recyclable packaging.

Individual garments are sent in mailer bags made from FSC certified paper, which are fully recyclable. Bulk orders ship in reused cardboard boxes that originally delivered blank stock to us. For local Bristol deliveries we use a zero emission cargo bike courier.

Yes. Our print on demand service uses the same GOTS and OEKO-TEX certified water based DTG inks, organic garments and renewable energy as our bulk orders. Each item is printed and dispatched as your customers order it, so there's no unsold stock going to waste.
