At Supacolor, we’re passionate about creating high-quality heat transfers that are safe for both people and the planet. SupaSerg recently shared some key insights on how Supacolor is tackling environmental challenges in the fashion industry. Here’s a summary of what makes our heat transfers eco-friendly and sustainable.
Heat Transfers with a Purpose
Supacolor heat transfers are designed with both the environment and human safety in mind. Unlike traditional solvent-based or plastisol inks, which can release harmful chemicals, Supacolor uses water-based inks. These inks are much better for the environment, reducing the overall environmental impact while ensuring your t-shirt designs are vibrant and durable.
PET Film: A Sustainable Choice
One of the standout features of Supacolor heat transfers is the use of PET film. PET (polyethylene terephthalate) is a type of plastic known for its recyclability and minimal environmental impact.
Here’s why PET film is a top choice for eco-conscious consumers:
-
High Recyclability: PET is the most recyclable plastic available and can be recycled multiple times without significant loss of quality.
-
Lower Energy Use: Producing PET requires less energy and generates fewer carbon emissions compared to other plastics.
-
Durability: PET film ensures your product is not only environmentally friendly but also high-quality and durable.
By using PET film, Supacolor minimizes the environmental footprint while delivering a superior product.
Safety First
Supacolor heat transfers are TPSA certified, meeting US safety standards for children’s products. They also hold the OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certification, ensuring that the transfers are free from harmful substances. This means our heat transfers are safe for everyone, from kids to adults.
Combating Fast Fashion
Fast fashion refers to the rapid production of inexpensive clothing, which often leads to waste and environmental harm. Supacolor offers a smarter solution by allowing designers and brands to print only what they sell. This approach reduces the need for large inventories, preventing unsold items from ending up in landfills. It’s a game changer for reducing the impact of fast fashion, making Supacolor an ideal choice for sustainable clothing brands and artists.
Built to Last
Supacolor heat transfers are lab-tested to withstand 80+ washes, ensuring your apparel remains in great condition for a long time. This longevity helps reduce the need for overproduction, further supporting sustainability in the fashion industry.
A Commitment to Sustainability
By choosing Supacolor heat transfers, you’re not just getting a high-quality product for your t-shirts—you’re making a stand for the planet. Supacolor is committed to making branded apparel sustainable, creative, and responsible. Together, we can keep our planet as clean and vibrant as our favorite t-shirt designs.
