Sustainability Practices
Our Commitment
Sustainability is important to Flossed Up. We are committed to providing you eco- friendly quality products, while getting greener every step of the way.
As Flossed Up works with on-demand suppliers, we only produce items we get an order for, avoiding textile waste from overproduction. Our printing partner’s high-quality printing tech creates almost no wastewaters and uses less energy than standard industry printers.
Currently, our eco-friendly product collection consists of items made of at least 70% organic or recycled materials, or a mix of these materials.
Production
Each product you see in our store is made on-demand—once you place an order, we produce it specifically for you. This allows us to avoid overproduction and textile waste, and we’re continuously working toward greener production.
Printing Techniques & Materials
Many of our products are printed with the direct-to-garment (DTG) technique, which is a printing method where ink is first sprayed directly onto the garment, and then it soaks into the fabric. It’s like printing on paper, but on clothing.
The inks we use for printing are Oeko-Tex™ certified, vegan, water-based, and free of harmful chemicals.
Packaging
All apparel products are packed in post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic poly mailers.
