SUSTAINABILITY

Creative Sourcing: Sustainability Statement

Home: Welcome

Sustainability is at the forefront of our minds. From using organic cotton fabrics to using Vegan & GOTS certified inks and dyes. We house fabric milling and dying, CMT, decoration and garment finishing within the midlands, meaning low carbon footprint and labelling your collection ‘Made in Britain’.

We hold full Fast Forwards Audits for UK print facility and dye house. Similar to SMETA or BSCI audits, Fast Forward focusses on ethical and social compliance. All relevant UK laws must be met including immigration, hours worked, wages, health and safety and the modern slavery act.
Fast Forward audits are recognised by leading brands such as brands such as ASOS, River Island, Next, M&S and John Lewis, plus many more.

SUSTAINABLE

We offer organic cotton and recycled polyester blank garments from our wholesale suppliers overseas.
Low MOQ for DTG print can dramatically reduce waste.
Local fabric mills can be used to knit organic cotton jerseys and loopbacks.
UK fabric mills, dye houses, CMT units and print facilities mean a low carbon-footprint for a garment, meaning it is ‘Made in Britain’ with no sea or airfreight needed.
Low minimum orders quantities compared to the Far East and Asia meaning lower fabric consumption and less clothes sent to landfill.
Total transparency: allowing clients to see the whole supply chain from raw materials to finished product at every stage.
