Printing a Better Future: Eco-Friendly Practices Behind Our Shirts
Share
At WARE11, we believe that fashion should have a positive impact not just on your style, but on the world around you. When we started creating our oversized T-shirts, we asked ourselves an important question:
“How can we create something stylish and bold, without harming the planet?”
The answer lies in the eco-friendly practices we’ve built into every step of our process from the fabrics we choose to the printing techniques we use. Because to us, sustainability isn’t just about what you wear, but how it’s made.
Why Printing Matters in Sustainability
Most people think of fabric when they think about sustainable clothing, but printing is just as important. Conventional printing methods often involve toxic inks, chemical-heavy dyes, and water-intensive processes that pollute rivers and harm the environment.
We wanted to change that. At WARE11, our printing methods are designed to be cleaner, safer, and longer-lasting.
Our Eco-Friendly Printing Approach
1. Water-Based, Non-Toxic Inks
We use water-based inks instead of harmful solvent-based alternatives. These inks are not only safer for the environment, but they also produce softer prints that blend seamlessly into the fabric rather than sitting stiffly on top of it.
2. Minimal Waste Process
Our designs are printed in controlled batches to avoid unnecessary waste. Unlike mass production where hundreds of garments are printed regardless of demand, our limited drops ensure every shirt we print has a purpose.
3. Energy-Efficient Techniques
We utilize low-temperature curing and modern printing technologies to reduce energy consumption during the printing process. Small choices like these add up to lower carbon emissions.
Premium Fabric + Eco Printing = Long Life
There’s no point in eco-friendly printing if the T-shirt itself doesn’t last. That’s why we start with premium 240 GSM cotton that’s durable and built for repeat use. When combined with high-quality water-based prints, your WARE11 T-shirt is designed to outlast fast-fashion alternatives staying sharp, soft, and stylish for years.
The Problem with Fast-Fashion Prints
Fast fashion doesn’t just cut corners on fabric it cuts corners on printing too. Cheap vinyl or plastic-based prints crack, peel, and fade after just a few washes, forcing you to throw the garment away. This is not just bad for your wallet, but also bad for the environment.
Our eco-friendly printing techniques ensure that the graphics on your WARE11 tee age as beautifully as the shirt itself. No peeling. No fading. Just long-lasting streetwear you can trust.
Limited Edition Drops with Purpose
Instead of producing hundreds of printed designs just for hype, we create limited edition graphics with thought and intention. Each design reflects our community, culture, and commitment to sustainability. We want every print to feel meaningful and timeless, not like a disposable trend.
Why This Matters
Every decision from choosing water-based inks to producing in smaller, thoughtful batches reduces waste, pollution, and energy consumption. By buying a WARE11 tee, you’re not just supporting a streetwear brand you’re supporting better practices for the future of fashion.
From Print to Planet
We know that no product is 100% impact-free, but we believe in minimizing harm wherever we can. Our eco-friendly printing is just one part of our bigger mission: creating streetwear that feels good, looks good, and does good.
When you wear WARE11, you’re making a statement not just about your style, but about your values. You’re saying:
- “I care about quality over waste.”
- “I want fashion to respect the planet.”
- “I support brands that do better.”
Final Thoughts
Printing the future isn’t just about designs it’s about printing a message of responsibility, creativity, and care. At WARE11, we’re proud to take steps toward cleaner, more ethical printing practices that align with our vision of sustainable streetwear.
Because for us, every print isn’t just on a shirt it’s part of a better future.
