For this site's store, I have started using Spreadsheet due to it sustainabile practices as noted below:

Spreadshirt has been in the print-on-demand industry for over 20 years and produces a vast collection of organic & sustainable t-shirts.

It carefully selects textile suppliers that follow environmental regulations, practice standard working hours, and treat all employees fairly and according to the principle of equality. Additionally, the wages must meet the basic needs of the employees and never fall below the legally prescribed minimum wage.

Spreadshirt also donates returned clothes to youth centers, schools, sports clubs, children’s aid services, rooming houses, and aid agencies in Germany and Europe.

Another company I use on my Etsy store is Printful and this is their sustainability practices.

Printful manufactures products using the made-to-order production approach, fulfilling only the print-on-demand items customers actually purchase.

Since May 2021, it has started using packaging made of post-consumer recycled plastics for all apparel orders shipped from in-house facilities. For posters, Printful has started using triangular cardboard boxes to replace tubes with plastic end caps.

With fulfillment centers across the US, Canada, Mexico, Latvia, Spain, Australia, Japan, and Brazil, Around 81% of Printful orders are delivered in the same region they’re ordered. This doesn’t only allow for faster shipping times and lower shipping costs, but it also helps with reducing the CO2 emissions produced when transporting shipments.

Furthermore, the supplier donates damaged and returned products to local charities, like the Red Cross, the American Kidney Fund, and Goodwill.
