Like all factory processes, the sublimation printing process does come hand in hand with a certain degree of waste. We want to minimize that level of waste. In an attempt to reduce the ecological footprint of our sublimation printing, we implement as many recycling systems as possible. For example, we upcycle as much waste fabric as possible into resources for around the factory. We also recycle all paper waste, which is an inevitable by product of sublimation printing. By utilizing print-on-demand methods, we greatly limit all waste that is produced by only printing what is needed for each direct order. By reducing unnecessary production we automatically reduce waste.

The Global Recycle Standard (GRS) was originally developed by Control Union Certifications in 2008 and ownership was passed to the Textile Exchange on 1 January 2011. The GRS is an international, voluntary, full product standard that sets requirements for third-party certification of recycled content, chain of custody, social and environmental practices and chemical restrictions. The GRS is intended to meet the needs of companies looking to verify the recycled content of their products (both finished and intermediate) and to verify responsible social, environmental and chemical practices in their production. The objectives of the GRS are to define requirements to ensure accurate content claims, good working conditions, and that harmful environmental and chemical impacts are minimised. This includes companies in ginning, spinning, weaving and knitting, dyeing and printing and stitching in more than 50 countries.
The aim of the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) is to define requirements to ensure organic status of textiles, from harvesting of the raw materials, through environmentally and socially responsible manufacturing up to labeling in order to provide a credible assurance to the end consumer.
