Sustainability at Printoteca
At Printoteca, sustainability is not just a buzzword – it’s a real commitment to the environment and the future of our community. We strive to implement eco-friendly practices and use materials and technologies that adhere to sustainability standards, offering high-quality products without compromising the health of the planet. Here’s how we integrate sustainability at every stage of our production process.
For printing our products, we use eco-friendly, water-based inks that are free of harmful toxins. These inks contain no harsh chemicals, PVC, or phthalates and comply with strict international safety standards. Additionally, they are certified by Oeko-Tex and GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard), ensuring they are safe for both the environment and the skin of our customers.
We use Kornit inks for direct-to-garment printing, which do not require additional chemical fixation processes and significantly reduce water consumption compared to traditional printing methods. This helps us minimize environmental impact while maintaining high-quality prints.
We carefully select our textile suppliers, prioritizing brands that share our values of sustainability. We work with suppliers like Stanley/Stella, who produce garments from organic cotton and recycled materials while adhering to strict standards of responsible production. These products are not only environmentally friendly but also provide exceptional comfort to end customers.
All the textiles we use are Oeko-Tex certified, meaning they are tested for harmful substances and are safe for human skin. Additionally, many of our products are GOTS certified, ensuring they are made from organic fibers and meet rigorous social and environmental standards throughout the supply chain.
When it comes to packaging, we avoid using plastic wherever possible and opt for recycled and recyclable materials. Every order shipped by Printoteca is carefully packed using FSC-certified packaging, reducing environmental impact. Since 2019, we have completely eliminated plastic from our packaging and encourage customers to recycle or reuse the packaging materials.
Another key aspect of sustainability at Printoteca is responsible production. Our print on demand model ensures that we only produce what is needed, eliminating excess inventory and unnecessary waste. This helps conserve resources and minimizes negative environmental impact.
Additionally, all waste generated during the production process is managed responsibly, with ongoing efforts to reduce, reuse, and recycle materials wherever possible. We continuously seek new ways to improve our processes to make them more efficient and eco-friendly.
Sustainability is a continuous journey, and at Printoteca, we are dedicated to taking meaningful steps in this direction. We invest in modern technology, sustainable materials, and responsible partnerships to ensure that every product we create has the lowest possible impact on the environment.
We want every customer to feel proud to wear or sell products made by Printoteca, knowing they are crafted with respect for the planet and the community. Together, we can make a difference and contribute to a greener and more responsible future.
If you have questions about our sustainability initiatives or want to learn more about our products, don’t hesitate to contact us. We’re here to drive change – step by step, product by product.
