Eco Friendly Inks: We screen print using environmentally friendly water-based inks and certified phthalate-free plastisol inks. Put simply -- you come up with the designs, and we'll print them using the most environmentally friendly ink option(s) available. Read more about ECO FRIENDLY INKS Biodegradable Cleaners and Components: The cleaners, emulsions, and screen printing components used in our operations are biodegradable and organic -- mostly soy based. Aside from the improved impact on the environment, this also means a much better smelling shop (and that's always a good thing). Organic Cotton (and other sustainable fabrics): We offer a variety of t-shirts, long-sleeves, hoodies, and printable garments made with organic cotton and other sustainable fabrics. We also exclusively advocate manufacturers who offer both sustainable and standard options in their product lines. With so many great options to choose from, 'green' really doesn't mean boring any more. Reuse and Recycle: We try to reuse everything! The boxes we receive blanks in from our suppliers are used to ship out completed orders to our clients -- so we haven't had to order boxes since we've opened our doors. Renewable Energy Credits: To try offset our carbon emissions and to advocate the use of clean energy, we purchase Renewable Energy Credits (benefiting clean energy power grids utilizing wind and solar power) specifically calculated for the consumption of our operations. In all honesty, we're not exactly sure how it all works, so we leave it to the experts. So until we can afford to install solar panels to power our building, this is our next best thing. Use Less -- Clean More: We use a specially designed system to reduce water consumption needed to clean and reclaim screens. These systems also ensure the water going down our drains are free of nasty pigments and chemicals. We're also working with one of the best facilities management companies in the world (environmental conservation and compliance) to manage and clean the numerous rags used in our screen printing operations.
