Sustainability

 Committed to Sustainability from the Very Beginning

At Maoli Monkey, sustainability is more than a trend; it is our fundamental purpose. Our main products, from GOTS certified organic cotton t-shirts to organic tote bags, and hoodies incorporating recycled polyester, are carefully selected to minimize our impact on the environment.

Organic cotton is naturally grown, without the use of pesticides or chemical fertilizers, and is free from GMOs (genetically modified organisms). It is harvested and produced to benefit the environment, creating biodiversity, and promoting good health and quality of life for farmers and their communities.

The GOTS certification is the most respected and rigorous, ensuring product traceability from the field to the end customer. It includes transaction certificates at each production stage, covering not only raw materials and production but also labor rights, health and well-being of everyone in the supply chain, water treatment, and chemical use.

 

Printing Method: DTG

DTG printing, also known as direct-to-garment printing, offers significant environmental benefits compared to other printing processes. It is a digital printing process that allows direct printing on fabrics, using water-based biodegradable ink, free of plastics such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC) that contains hazardous chemical additives considered toxic and may evaporate into the air over time. It does not require the use of plates or other disposable printing materials typically used in other printing methods, contributing to the reduction of product waste. In terms of energy efficiency, the DTG method performs well, as there is no need to preheat inks as in other methods, consuming less energy during the production process. It's worth noting that the quality and durability of the print are also considered high, ensuring greater resistance and longevity of the pieces.

 

Print on Demand: Zero Waste

We take pride in producing only on demand. This means we generate no waste. Each piece is meticulously created when ordered, eliminating the need for stock and contributing to the reduction of textile waste. At Maoli Monkey, we are not only committed to the present but also to the sustainable future of the generations to come.

 

Shipping: Minimizing Environmental Impact

We have partners in various countries that allow us to reduce the distance between production and shipping items to our customers. By shortening distances, we can have international presence with a reduced carbon footprint.

 

Carbon Neutrality: A Mission

At Maoli Monkey, we don't just offer sustainable products; we are also committed to making a positive impact on the world. With every purchase you make with us, you are contributing to reforestation projects. Our goal is to donate 1€ from each sale to support initiatives that help recover and preserve forests. We believe it is our duty to protect the planet!
