Ok, so bamboo shirts, e.c.o fleece jackets made from recycled water bottles, soy flax polos and organic cotton t-shirts. We all have seen the great environmentally sustainable and sustaining apparel products that are now available to help promote your business. If you are an Ecopreneurist running a green business then eco-friendly apparel for your promotional items and uniforms is pretty much a given.
Last year the race was on to figure out the best, safest and most sustainable printing methods for t-shirts and caps. Is it water based inks or veg/soy based dyes, or another option? That debate is still out there.
Well Docufinish is one of the companies in the middle of figuring out how to make the “greenest” production shirts possible and today they sent our office a box of samples of shirts they ran for us with water based ink for the City of Plano which included the letter on the right.
What caught my eye in the letter however is the statement in the second paragraph, “Please also keep in mind that we just recently got the ability to produce green embroidered apparel with 100% Organic Rayon thread made from tree pulp.”
Eco friendly thread? Cool. Now polos and jackets and the rest can compete fully in the super-green apparel categories with bags, caps and t-shirts.
Well done Docufinish. Now will you please get your tech folks on fixing your website so that you have information there on your apparel items? Come on guys, show off a little.
Until the Docufinish site is updated contact Docufinish sales rep Jason Lambert for more information on appareal with eco-thread and water based printing or send us an email at info@proformagreen.com.
