With consumers becoming conscious of how destructive fast fashion has become, brands that actually wear their eco-values on their sleeves are standing out as industry leaders. Our friends at endota invited us to work with Australian fashion designer KITX to find innovative ways to improve their uniforms. Using organic cotton & hemp, we sourced & manufactured uniforms that were both comfortable to wear and reflective of Endota’s philosophy. We aspire to help more brands to wear their commitment to circularity through custom-designed, eco-friendly uniforms. If you’re searching for better ways to empower your brand ambassadors we’d love to work with you: https://lnkd.in/g-yfHrjC #DirectToSource #SustainableUniforms #Hemp #Organic Cotton #Sustainability #Innovation #Branding #Marketing #ESG

Our process helps evaluate your products, materials and production to see where you can have the biggest impact on sustainability. If you’re struggling to know where in your fashion business to make the most significant changes to deliver ESG goals, ask yourself these questions, like our friends at P.E Nation who have used organic cotton fabrics in their core line: 👚 What are your core fabrics? 📦 What packaging materials do you use? 🚛 How do stores receive stock? 🗑 How do you manage your waste? 📮 What post packaging do you use? 🛍 What shopping bag options do you offer? And if it all feels too overwhelming, reach out. We’d love to help; https://lnkd.in/g6F6CP5E #DirectToSource #SustainableApparell #OrganicCotton #Sustainability #Innovation #Branding #Marketing #ESG

It’s never too early to get into the sustainability spirit, especially with Christmas trade coming around faster than you can say; “Santa swaps synthetic sacks for sustainable stockings this silly season". To help support a responsible shopping season, we’re taking customised tote bag orders with MQ’s as little as 3,000 but be quick - orders placed after August 30th, 2024 risk being left off Santa’s green list. Don't let your Christmas cheer be anything less than green this year and place yours now: https://lnkd.in/g-yfHrjC #DirectToSource #Christmas #EcoTotes #Sustainability #Innovation #Branding #Marketing #ESG

Did you know, it only takes about 25 recycled plastic bottles to create one square meter of RPET fabric? ♻ rPET (Recycled Polyethylene Terephthalate) is not only reducing landfill but also significantly minimising air pollution compared to producing new PET. Each rPET bag or package you use can be a step towards a cleaner environment.
