The First Certified Carbon Foot-printed Organic T Shirt.
November 24 2008
For a T shirt to be certified as organic by the Soil Association it has to meet some very strict standards. The chemical make up of everything involved in its production has to be proven, and the criteria for what you are not allowed to use in textile printing is very strict, no white spirit, no formaldehyde, no pvc, no phthalates, no apeo’s and no heavy metals.
T Shirt and Sons even take it one step further, and their water effluent is filtered on site and then tested and all materials recycled where possible. All garments that are Soil Association certified have a batch number and all inputs of raw material are recorded so that full traceability of the finished product is possible, ensuring that it is 100% organic from start to finish.
T Shirt and Sons have truly set a bench mark in the production of printed t shirts, and they are currently the only licenced printer of organic printed t-shirts in the world. Keep up the great work!!
