Sustainable clothing for your business

We are committed to offering sustainable clothing to our customers, but what is sustainable clothing and why might it be a good choice for your organisation? Read on to learn more about the organic, natural and recycled fabrics that could enhance your eco-credentials as a business.

What is sustainable clothing?

It's not just one thing.

Sustainable clothing is made from natural, organic and recycled fabrics such as Organic cotton or recycled plastic bottles and ocean waste.

Sustainable clothing is made from ethically and environmentally rigorous manufacturing processes - for example, wastewater by-product is treated extensively and returned to the environment from where it came, harmful and toxic chemicals that pollute eco-systems are not used and fair labour policies for workers are guaranteed.

What are the benefits of Organic Cotton?

Organic cotton offers benefits to the environment, human health and the quality of the fabric.

Organic cotton farming avoids the use of synthetic fertilizers and toxic chemicals that harm the environment and can impact the health of the farmers themselves.

Organic cotton yarn production gives off fewer emissions and consumes less energy and water than the production of conventional yarns.

The benefits of sustainable clothing extend beyond eco-friendliness. Organic Cotton garments are crafted with quality and durability in mind, leading to a longer lifespan of the clothing, and because of the absence of harsh chemicals, organic cotton clothing is less likely to trigger allergic reactions in the wearer.

How are recycled garments produced?

 

Clothing made from recycled polyester utilises end-of-life materials such as plastic bottles, food packaging, and even ocean waste, giving them a second life. 

 

By recycling this end-of-life waste, less plastic and harmful materials are entering the eco-system, water ways and oceans.

Is sustainable clothing right for your team?

With more businesses pledging to reduce their environmental impact and take steps to make their practices more eco-friendly, a switch to eco clothing could be a simple and effective move in the right direction.

Sustainable clothing doesn't compromise on quality and can be more affordable than you think.

It's an important story to tell as part of your brand messaging and with a growing trend of customers and employees seeking out eco-friendly businesses with sustainable credentials, aligning to those values may help your organisation appeal to future generations.

We live by an eco-policy. 

At South Coast Embroidery Ltd, packaging from suppliers is reused and any additional packaging needed is either recycled or compostable.

We batch orders together to avoid multiple small deliveries into us, and maintain close attention to detail to run an efficient process that avoids product wastage. 

We are commited to offering sustainable clothing options to our customers where it supports their business needs.

We use OEKO-TEX inks in our prints that have been tested to ensure they don't contain harmful chemicals that could be dangerous to human health or the environment.

We are constantly evolving and innovating our practices to enhance our eco-credentials but there is always more we can be doing, so watch this space for future updates and commitments.
