STL Shirt Co.’s Eco-Friendly T-Shirt Printing Techniques
Traditional t-shirt printing techniques often involve the use of chemicals and dyes that can be harmful to the environment. However, STL Shirt Co. steers clear of those techniques and uses only eco-friendly water-based inks. These inks do not contain harmful chemicals and do not require solvents, which reduces the amount of waste produced during the printing process, keeping our union staff and customers safe.
Water-based ink provides a softer feel and lays down a thin, soft, flexible layer of ink on the garment that will still hold up after countless washes. These inks significantly reduce the environmental impact of the t-shirt printing process. We also utilize digital files for the creation of intricate designs and patterns for your custom t-shirts, minimizing our footprint.
STL Shirt Co.’s Use Of Sustainable Fabrics
Sustainable fabrics are becoming increasingly popular among customers who are concerned about the environmental impact of the clothing industry. One option for those looking for the best fabrics for their custom t-shirts is organic cotton. This type of cotton is grown without the use of harmful pesticides and fertilizers, making it a more environmentally friendly option. Organic cotton farming practices also prioritize water conservation, making it a more sustainable choice.
Another sustainable fabric option is recycled polyester, which is made from recycled plastic bottles and reduces the amount of plastic waste that ends up in landfills or the ocean. This fabric is also easier to recycle than traditional polyester, making it a more sustainable option.
