Let's take a closer look at how their sustainable approach is making a difference.
Preservation of Resources
SanMar's Canvas For Good program aims to reduce environmental waste in the fashion industry. By using pre-consumer upcycled cotton scraps from the production of T-shirts, SanMar reduces the amount of textile waste that ends up in landfills. They salvage 6 million pounds of cotton scraps that could have ended up as waste and they upcycle them into new fabrics that last long and look stylish.
Energy Conservation
The program also focuses on energy conservation, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and their carbon footprint. Using upcycled cotton scraps minimizes the need for petroleum-based materials required to produce conventional textiles. According to Sanmar, every pound of upcycled cotton yarn saves approximately 1,150 gallons of water and 3.8 pounds of CO2.
Collaborations for Social Good
SanMar's Canvas For Good program supports collaborations with nonprofit organizations doing good work for the planet. Collaborating organizations include the National Park Foundation and the National Forest Foundation who receive donations for every product sold. The canvas for Good program also gives customers the option to customize their orders with unique designs promoting environmental goodwill. This allows businesses to show their support for the environment by spreading an eco-conscious message far and wide.
Quality Products
By using upcycled cotton scraps, SanMar creates a durable fabric that is comfortable and lasts long. Their signature collection includes tote bags, backpacks, and even baseball hats that are long-lasting, stylish, versatile, and good for the planet.
