The Environment and us |
Dynamic Teamwear recognises the need for ethical and environmentally sustainable practices and this has ramifications on everything we do. We pride ourselves on been industry leaders in greener methods of production. We are continually taking action to reduce our negative impact on the environment and undertake waste minimisation, recycling and the purchasing of environmentally preferable goods wherever we can.
 "In an apparel industry that has been mostly displaced with foreign companies we believe if you go outside of your market to produce a product that your market could provide then it is not sustainable.." Below are just a few ways in which we are working towards a greener and more ethical approach Local Printing and embroideryBy using printers located locally to us, we not only reduce the lead time of our jobs, but reduce the distances that our products have to travel. We do not send clothing or items abroad to be printed or embrioded like others may do to reduce costs.British SuppliersWherever possible we use British suppliers of clothing, merchandise. This reduces unnecessary transport of goods (often by air) and also benefits the local and national economy. This reduces the carbon footprint.Organic cottonConventional cotton farming is one of agriculture's most environmentally destructive activities. The simple act of growing and harvesting the one pound of cotton fibre needed to make a T-shirt (or any other conventional cotton product) takes an enormous toll on the earth.s air, water, and soil, and significantly affects the health of people living in cotton growing areas. The good news is that positive alternatives to conventional cotton and its related businesses are available. Over the past decade, a small number of farmers and manufacturers have pioneered the market for organically grown cotton, producing fibres and clothing while significantly reducing toxic chemicals.Dynamic Teamwear offers a range of organic cotton from manufactures such as .Continental. and .Gildan. giving you the opportunity to aid the environment.
