🌱 Sustainability Controls & Our Commitment

Urban‑Eco Designs is built on a simple belief: bold streetwear shouldn’t cost the planet. Every piece we create is grounded in responsible sourcing, ethical production, and a commitment to continuous improvement — without greenwashing or empty claims.

🧵 Responsible Materials

All garments in our collection are printed on AS Colour blanks, a supplier known for high-quality apparel and strong sustainability practices. AS Colour aligns with globally recognized standards for environmental and social responsibility, including:

OEKO‑TEX Standard 100 for many of their fabrics

Amfori BSCI for ethical supply chain auditing

Better Cotton Initiative (BCI) membership

Responsible sourcing policies covering labour, environment, and transparency

These aren’t our certifications — they’re the standards our chosen supplier aligns with, and we choose them because they meet these benchmarks.

🌍 Ethical Production

We partner with local printers in Aotearoa who follow responsible production practices, including:

Safe working conditions

Fair labour standards

Transparent sourcing of inks and materials

Digital-first printing methods that reduce waste and energy use

By keeping production local, we reduce shipping emissions and support New Zealand businesses.

🎨 Low‑Impact Printing

Our designs are produced using modern digital printing methods that minimize environmental impact:

Water-based, non-toxic inks

Reduced water usage compared to traditional dyeing

On‑demand production to avoid overstock and textile waste

Efficient energy use through digital workflows

Every hoodie and tee is printed only when ordered — meaning no mass production, no deadstock, and no unnecessary waste.

🌿 Our Ongoing Promise

Sustainability isn’t a marketing angle for us — it’s a responsibility. As we grow, we’re committed to:

Expanding our use of recycled and low‑impact materials

ncreasing transparency around our supply chain

xploring carbon‑reduction initiatives

Partnering with suppliers who share our environmental values

Urban‑Eco Designs exists to prove that streetwear can be rebellious, expressive, and environmentally conscious all at once.
