Sustainability

We strive to follow principles of sustainability in all our company activities.

• We manufacture locally
• We print to demand which means we do not produce excess fabrics that we may not be able to sell thus reducing potential waste.
• Most of our print chemistries are water-soluble and there is minimal waste produced
• The paper by-product of our manufacturing process is recycled
• We have chosen polyester as our primary textile substrate because of its high durability and colourfastness.   Polyester’s ecological impact compares favourably with natural fibres such as cotton, wool and linen when their high demands for water, pesticides and arable land are considered.  
• We transport our basecloths to Australia by ship
• We are committed to employing environmental and energy conservation practices in our company wherever possible.
• We regularly research latest developments in sustainable textile production practices to ensure we are informed and using all available processes to reduce the environmental impact of our production and products.
