Customers may recycle their used tees through our Common Threads Recycling Program. We knit, dye, cut, sew and print our tees right here in Southern California. And, the inks we use on our tees are completely PVC and Phthalate free.The Bad: Even organically produced cotton harms the environment; no form of agriculture as practiced is fully sustainable. Moreover, growing cotton is water-intensive.What We Think: T-shirts, as our most popular clothing item, reflect every bit of environmental knowledge we possess. But every human activity pollutes and, alas, our tees are no exception.
