• Is gloriously soft, lightweight and breathable

• Combats climate change by building healthy soils that store carbon

• Doesn't use pesticides or artificial fertilisers, preventing contamination of local water and wildlife

• Encourages biodiversity through crop rotation and companion planting to discourage pests naturally

• Uses around 90% less water to grow and clean

• Ring-spun is the result of a spinning method that produces finer, softer, more durable thread 

• Combing removes the shorter fibres that are prone to fraying and breaking, producing a softer, stronger thread

• Both process are more costly, but result in a better quality, longer lasting garment

• Reduces the amount of plastic headed to landfill by using it to make new polyester

• Is just as good quality as virgin polyester, making clothing more flexible and resistant, therefore longer- lasting

• Emits 70% less greenhouse gases in production versus virgin polyester

The Fair Wear foundation is an independent, non-profit organisation that is working to improve conditions for workers in clothing factories.

Its certified members:

• are open and transparent about their business practices

• actively work to improve labour conditions for people in the garment industry

• provide a safe and healthy working environment that is free of discrimination, forced labour or child labour

• pay their staff at least the living wage

• The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PeTA) foundation is a UK-based charity dedicated to establishing and protecting the rights of all animals

• Clothing that is PeTA-approved vegan is verified as being 100% free of animal-derived materials

• These are made with water + pigment instead of environmentally and medically damaging CFCs, PVC, heavy metals or phthalates

• They can be easily cleaned off printing tools using water instead of harmful solvents

• They are softer and feel less 'rubbery'

• They are now just as washable and durable as plastisol inks

• This process uses rayon (wood pulp) thread from sustainably managed forests instead of the standard, virgin polyester thread

• It uses natural, plastic-free backing materials

• Renewable energy is the electricity collected from resources that are naturally replenished, such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, waves and geothermal, instead of finite resources like oil and gas

• Carbon neutral gas simply means that the emissions produced by using natural gas are balanced by verified carbon offset projects

• Green gas (biomethane) is made from renewable sources such as leftover food and farm waste - it is produced differently from normal gas and is virtually carbon neutral when burned

• This is certified to break down completely into non-toxic components that will not harm the environment
