Eco Friendly Products and Sustainable Clothing

At Indigo Clothing, we are committed to sourcing sustainable clothing and eco-friendly products so our clients can make greener choices when it comes to custom clothing and branded merchandise. Whether you’re looking for organic cotton t-shirts, bamboo accessories or recycled promotional items, we have a growing range of sustainable options available.

Bamboo Products

Bamboo is often described as the world’s most renewable material. It grows at a far more rapid rate than other trees, making it a super-sustainable alternative. Pesticides and chemicals are not required when harvesting bamboo, further reducing its environmental footprint.

We have worked with our supplier network to source a range of bamboo-based products ready for customisation with your branding:

• Reusable coffee cups and travel mugs
• Bamboo cutlery sets
• Bamboo fibre clothing and accessories
• Sustainable stationery (pens, notebooks)

Recycled Materials

We also offer eco-friendly products made from recycled materials. Merchandise made from recycled paper, metal, plastic or glass is granted a new lease of life — reducing waste while promoting your brand’s sustainability credentials. Our most popular recycled products include:

• Recycled notebooks and notepads
• Pens made from recycled plastics
• Tote bags from recycled materials
• RPET (recycled polyester) garments and accessories

Organic Cotton Clothing

Organic cotton is made from natural, non-GMO seeds without the use of pesticides or harmful chemicals — making it significantly more environmentally friendly than conventional cotton. We supply a range of organic cotton clothing for customisation:

• T-shirts — from leading ethical brands
• Hoodies and sweatshirts
• Tote bags — a sustainable alternative to plastic bags
• Polo shirts — for eco-conscious corporate wear

Look for garments certified to GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) or OCS (Organic Content Standard) for verified organic content.

Sustainable Printing Methods

It’s not just the products that can be eco-friendly — the printing methods matter too. Indigo Clothing offers sustainable printing options:

• DTG (direct-to-garment) printing — a digital, “waterless” printing process that uses water-based inks with minimal waste
• Water-based screen printing — available for larger orders (200+ items), using inks free from harmful solvents
• Embroidery — a durable, thread-based decoration that doesn’t use inks or chemicals at all

When placing an order, simply request sustainable printing methods and we’ll ensure your project is as green as possible.

Ethical Manufacturing

Indigo Clothing supports the use of ethically made garments produced in WRAP-certified factories. Our suppliers adhere to fair labour practices, safe working conditions and responsible environmental standards. We can advise on the most ethical sourcing options for your project.

Eco-Friendly Packaging

We are actively working to reduce plastic in our packaging. Where possible, we use recyclable and biodegradable packaging materials. If sustainable packaging is important to your brand, let us know and we’ll accommodate your requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
