At Teacher Styles™, environmental sustainability is a top priority. From the sourcing of our blank tees and hoodies, through to printing and shipping, we strive to ensure that the choices we make reduce our environmental footprint, while still providing you with the quality products you deserve.

Around 85% of all textiles produced by the fashion industry end up in landfills, making it a major contributor to environmental damage. What’s more, one in every five items produced by the fashion industry reaches landfills without being worn even once.

Each product you see on our website is made on-demand—once you place an order, we produce it specifically for you. This allows us to avoid overproduction and textile waste, and we’re continuously working toward greener production. Our printing partner’s high-quality printing technology creates almost no wastewaters and uses less energy than standard industry printers.

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. Our printing partners use Kornit printers that generate almost zero wastewater and use less energy than standard industry printers, which lowers our carbon footprint.

The inks used for printing are Oeko-Tex™ certified, vegan, water-based, and free of harmful chemicals. Our partners take care to properly dispose of any left-over ink according to the ink supplier guidelines.
