๐ฑ Sustainability Controls & Our Commitment
UrbanโEco 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.
๐งต 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:
OEKOโTEX 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.
๐ 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.
๐จ LowโImpact 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
Onโdemand 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.
๐ฟ 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 lowโimpact materials
ncreasing transparency around our supply chain
xploring carbonโreduction initiatives
Partnering with suppliers who share our environmental values
UrbanโEco Designs exists to prove that streetwear can be rebellious, expressive, and environmentally conscious all at once.
