We’ll help you find the most efficient and effective path to a more eco-friendly future.

Wave Promo Products & Apparel: Sustainably Sourced

Branded Apparel– The Beginning of a Sustainable Journey

Consumers value and keep branded apparel longer than any other branded merchandise.

Choosing just 100 ethically grown and sewn t-shirts can save over 14,000 gallons of water and keep close to 1000 pounds of CO2 out of our atmosphere.

The sustainability journey of many garments travels through the entire supply chain from the raw material to the production process to the final giveaway to your customer.

The journey for a cotton t-shirt or polo shirt begins where the cotton is grown and harvested. Sustainable or “organic” cotton farming involves practices that minimize the use of harmful chemicals, pesticides, and water. Additionally, sustainable cotton farming also focuses on fair trade and labor practices. This means that farmers are paid a fair price for their crops and are provided with safe working conditions and a living wage.

Another option in sustainable branded apparel are garments made from recycled or blended fabrics.

Order 100 shirts made of recycled plastic or blend and one calculator indicates you’ll save almost 16,000 gallons of water, 200 pounds of CO2 and keep 22 pounds of plastic bottles out of the ocean.

The recycled fabric is created by cleaning, shredding and extruding PET plastic containers into rPET thread that is just as soft and workable as plant-based thread.

Whether grown organically in a field or extruded in a re-use facility, the next stop in a responsible process is the looming facility.

Safe and Sanitary Looming Conditions

Whether grown or recycled, thread is turned into fabric in a looming facility. Safe and sanitary looming conditions are crucial in maintaining the integrity of the sustainable journey.

By implementing safe and sanitary looming conditions, companies can guarantee the health and well-being of the workers involved in the process. This means providing them with proper protective equipment, ensuring clean working environments, and providing a living wage. Not only does this protect the workers, but it also ensures the quality and safety of the final product.

Sustainable Dyes and Fabrics

When it comes to sustainable swag, the journey doesn't end with responsible cotton farming or recycling and safe looming conditions. Another crucial step is the use of sustainable dyes and fabrics. Traditional textile dyes are often made from synthetic chemicals that have a negative impact on the environment and human health. However, sustainable dyes are made from natural sources, such as plant-based materials, that are safe for the planet and those who wear the fabric.

By choosing sustainable dyes and fabrics, companies can ensure that their promotional products are not only visually appealing but also align with their commitment to sustainability.
