Our Vision on Sustainable Printing

At casual89, we believe it is our responsibility to reduce our environmental impact and embrace more thoughtful ways of doing business. While we cannot solve every environmental challenge on our own, we can do our part to reduce the footprint of our industry.

Our approach to sustainability is reflected in the choices we make throughout our products, materials, and printing processes.

Sustainable Fabrics for T-Shirts & Sweatshirts

There are many sustainable fabric options available for T-shirts and sweatshirts. At casual89, we are committed to using garments made from 100% organic cotton to create lasting comfort while reducing environmental impact.

Organic cotton is grown without the use of synthetic fertilizers or pesticides. It can help promote healthier soil, support water conservation, and reduce the environmental impact associated with conventional cotton farming.

T-shirts made from organic cotton are soft, breathable, comfortable, and biodegradable.

Benefits of Choosing Eco-Friendly T-Shirts

Choosing eco-friendly T-shirts can offer benefits that go beyond personal style.

Environmental Benefits

Reduced water consumption:
Sustainable materials such as organic cotton and hemp may require less water compared with conventional cotton production.

Reduced pesticide and chemical use:
Organic farming methods avoid the use of certain synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, helping reduce their impact on ecosystems.

Lower environmental footprint:
Eco-friendly garments may have a lower environmental footprint when produced using more efficient materials, energy, and manufacturing processes.

Comfort & Wearability

Gentler materials:
Garments made from organic and responsibly sourced fibers can offer a soft and comfortable feel against the skin.

Breathability and comfort:
Natural and sustainable fabrics are often breathable and comfortable, making them suitable for everyday wear.

Thoughtful material choices:
Using carefully selected fabrics can help create garments designed for both comfort and long-term use.

Ethical & Social Impact

Choosing more responsibly made apparel can also support better practices throughout the supply chain.

We believe that responsible production should consider not only environmental impact, but also the people involved in making each garment, including fair working conditions, reasonable working hours, and responsible manufacturing practices.

Eco-Friendly Printing Techniques

At casual89, we use eco-conscious printing techniques, including water-based inks and digital printing.

Water-Based Inks

Water-based inks are a popular option for more environmentally conscious garment printing.

They are designed to create a soft feel on the fabric while producing clear, vibrant graphics. Compared with some traditional printing methods, water-based inks can help reduce the use of certain harsh chemicals.

Digital Printing

Digital printing transfers designs directly onto fabric using inkjet-based technology.

This process eliminates the need for traditional printing screens and can help reduce setup waste and water use. Digital printing also allows for detailed artwork, flexible customization, and efficient production.

By combining thoughtful material choices with modern printing techniques, casual89 aims to create graphic apparel that feels good to wear while taking a more responsible approach to production.
