Sustainability
Fair Work & Ethical Supply
  • All staff are paid a fair living wage and benefit from a four-day work week and flexible hybrid arrangements.
  • We run a profit-sharing programme so the whole team shares in our success.
  • We only work with accredited suppliers, including WRAP & FLA/FWF (ethical production), OEKO-TEX (free from harmful substances), GOTS (organic certification), and PETA (vegan). Depending on your priorities, we can recommend organic/recycled, vegan, fair wear, or low-carbon options.
Ethical Garments

We source and produce using 

  • organic cotton, 
  • recycled polyester, 
  • bamboo, 

and other sustainable textiles across our merchandise and uniform ranges.

Sustainable Inks
  • All inks we use are OEKO-TEX certified, ensuring they’re safe and free from harmful substances.
  • Our DTG and water-based inks are both OEKO-TEX and GOTS approved.
  • Favourites include Permaset (100% solvent-free, vegan, made with vegetable extracts) and Swink (a unique blend of natural materials such as seaweed, wool, and plants).
Eco Friendly Supplies
  • Fully recyclable and compostable outer packaging.
  • 30% recycled LDPE clear liners (removable on request to cut out plastic altogether).
  • Organic and recycled options for labels and embroidery threads.
Waste Reduction
  • ISO-certified waste management with safe processing of inks and solvents.
  • Ink containers recycled; excess solvents repurposed for energy generation.
  • Misprints and damaged garments reused for test printing or clean-up.
  • Surplus garments donated to humanitarian charities.

For us, sustainability isn’t a box to tick — it’s a continuous journey. We regularly review our practices and refine our processes to keep reducing our impact.
