BRISTOL, UK. November 13th, 2024 - Leading supplier of funny and personalised t-shirts and clothing, Shirtbox, has successfully transitioned to an organic, sustainable production model.
The company, which was founded in 2014, has become a market leader for humorous designs and slogans and allows customers to personalise clothing to their own taste.
The transition to using 100% organic cotton has led to Shirtbox receiving a certification from the Global Organic Textile Standard and means that all the company’s products are vegan-friendly.
Neil Ratcliffe, Co-founder of Shirtbox said: “We’re well aware of our industry’s reputation and we understand the need to ensure that we do everything we can to minimise our impact on the environment. Our fabric dying process also saves thousands of litres of water.”
“As a small business it is difficult to make the transition because being sustainable and environmentally-aware creates a costlier supply chain, but we now have a far better product and we are operating as a carbon neutral business which we are exceptionally proud of.”
Shirtbox has also become part of the Remill scheme whereby customers can return their 100% cotton clothes to be recycled rather than throwing them away.
The scheme, known as circular fashion, allows materials to flow back to Shirtbox and the company then produces new products made from the old product. Customers can also send back any clothing they no longer wear from any brand as long as it is 100% cotton.
Neil added: “There are not many companies in our sector that currently support circular fashion so it’s something we are passionate about and the evidence shows it is the future for the fast fashion industry.
“With Christmas fast approaching, those clothes you no longer wear can be sent to us rather than end up at landfill, and we can then create new products from them.”
“We create fun, happy products and we are delighted that we can now say we also have a positive impact on the environment as well as our customers.”
All Shirtbox products are printed in the UK and the company has an online personalisation tool where customers can create their own designs. The Shirtbox Christmas jumper range is now available to purchase, they also stock a wide range of funny t-shirts plus a brand new selection of hoodies, t-shirts, tote bags and mugs that can be personalised to the customer’s taste.
Neil continued: “As we’re now approaching Christmas, our products are great stocking fillers and in a world where we all need to be conscious of our impact on the planet, why not order from a carbon neutral company that uses recycled materials in its products and encourage others to donate their unwanted items at the same time.”
