SUSTAINABILITY

Eco-friendly product materials

There are a lot of reasons why a product or material could be considered sustainable. The inks we use for printing are Oeko-TexTM certified, vegan, water-based, and free of harmful chemicals. My Favorite Shirt Co takes sustainability seriously, that’s why we take care to properly dispose of any left-over ink according to the ink supplier guidelines.

​

To verify material content, we collect valid certificates from our suppliers. As proof of the organic composition of the apparel products, we only accept GOTS or OCS certificates. For recycled composition, we accept either GRS or RCS certificates.

​

All items are free of animal products. 

​

Sustainably shipped products

Around 81% of orders are delivered within the same region they’re fulfilled in. Having fulfillment centers close to our customers is good for both the business and the planet. Strategically located fulfillment centers allow for faster shipping times and lower shipping costs, and it also helps with reducing CO₂ emissions produced when transporting orders.

​

Products available in the same region are shipped together whenever possible. This helps you save money and is much better for the environment!

Will you switch to plastic-free packaging?

Currently, we can’t eliminate all plastic from our packaging, but we’re working on more sustainable versions of our packaging that wouldn’t sacrifice any of its protective properties.

Over the last 2 years, we’ve implemented some changes to reduce our environmental impact:

• Switched to triangular boxes for posters to eliminate plastic end caps

• Implemented poly mailers with instructions on how to recycle them

• Introduced eco-poly mailers consisting of at least 30% recycled plastic for all in-house apparel orders

​

As of May 2021, we’ve started using packaging made of post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastics. PCR plastics are made from items people recycle every day, like plastic bags and bottles. Most of our PCR plastics are made from shopping bags and wrapping films.

​

As of May 2022, we’re starting to gradually switch to 90%–100% PCR plastic packaging for apparel products in our in-house facilities all over North America!
