Favorite Four: Sustainable Tees

 
 
 

One of the biggest trends, as we dive into 2020, is sustainable living. Everyone, whether individually or as a business, is looking for ways to operate in an eco-friendly manner. So, how can you get your brand out there while participating in this green movement? Simple: think high-quality, long-lasting and eco-friendly! We all need to do our part to ensure a sustainable future, and you can help by choosing sustainable apparel and accessories. 

Let’s start with the basics. We have put together a list of our favorite T-shirt styles based on their brand’s values, sustainable production, and more:

  1. Bella + Canvas - 3001

    Our all-time, favorite T-shirt: the 3001 Bella + Canvas Unisex Tee. This super-soft, long-lasting shirt is made with 100% airlume cotton. Bella + Canvas dye houses use 7x less water than the average clothing manufacturer. Plus, their sewing and cutting facilities are run on solar power. Anything that isn’t turned into a Bella + Canvas product, is picked up daily and taken to different recycling centers.

  2. Econscious - EC1000

    Econscious’ Classic T-shirt is rare in the sense that it is constructed of 100% Certified Organic Cotton ring-spun jersey. As if that wasn’t enough, Econscious donates 1% of their retail sales to environmental non-profits that are working to restore, protect, and advocate for planet earth.

  3. Allmade - A2004T

    Allmade's Tri-Blend is a unique and proprietary blend containing polyester from recycled plastic and organic, US-grown cotton. Each shirt uses 6 recycled poly water bottles and all fabric is spun, knitted, processed and finished in the USA. The sustainable fibers combine to create a soft, flexible, and smooth fabric that fits well and holds a great print.
