Sustainability Statement
We print on-demand at Skull And Moss because it helps to make a positive impact on our home planet.
According to Printful, around 85% of all textiles produced by the fashion industry end up in landfills, making it a major contributor to environmental damage. One in every five items produced by the fashion industry reaches landfills without being worn even once.
So, each product you see in our catalog is made on-demand. This allows us to avoid overproduction and textile waste, and we’re continuously working toward greener production. It also allows us to save money by not having any additional warehouse inventory costs as we build our small business. Thank you for your support in this.
If Skull And Moss finds out Printful, or any resource we use, is actually not as sustainable as they claim, we will drop them and find new ways to make cool things.
DTG PRINTING
Our clothing designs are fulfilled using various methods. Many of our products are printed with the direct-to-garment (DTG) technique, which is a printing method where ink is first sprayed directly onto the garment, and then it soaks into the fabric. It’s like printing on paper, but on clothing. We use Kornit printers that generate almost zero wastewater and use less energy than standard industry printers, which lowers our carbon footprint.
The inks we use for printing are Oeko-Tex™ certified, vegan, water-based, and free of harmful chemicals.
As nature lovers, we thought it was important to chose a fulfilment company that properly disposes of any left-over ink according to the ink supplier guidelines.
EMBROIDERED PRODUCTS
At Skull And Moss, we embroider our products with Oeko-Tex™ certified threads, meaning they’re safe for both adult and children's clothing. Compared to printing, embroidery is generally more durable and produces less environmental waste.
ECO FRIENDLY PRODUCTS
There are a lot of reasons why a product or material could be considered sustainable. Currently, our eco-friendly product collection consists of items made of at least 70% organic or recycled materials, or a mix of these materials.
DELIVERY TIMES
Since our products are made-on-demand, it takes time to create and send out orders. You can check out our estimated delivery times in our Shipping Policy
PRODUCT PACKAGING
At Skull And Moss, all apparel products are packed in post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic mailers. The amount of PCR in the packaging will differ depending on where your order gets printed, but it’s at least 50% for the outside (white or grey) poly mailer bags and at least 30% for the inside (clear) bags used in multi-item shipments. PCR packaging is made from everyday items, like used plastic bags and bottles. This material protects your order just as well as regular plastic bags but choosing PCR over first-use plastics reduces the environmental impact plastic has on our planet.
OUR PROMISE
As our company grows and we learn more about increasing our sustainability, we promise to make any changes necessary as soon as possible. It is important to us that our impact comes from a loving and sustainable place — for people, for animals, and for the environment on our home planet. Thank you for your support.
