Sustainability
At Textiles Alive we pride ourselves on being a 'green' alternative for your textile printing needs. Our dye sublimation process uses water based dyes, and the paper used in the production process is recycled. We are members of the Sustainable Business Network, and will be constantly reviewing and improving our products and production methods.
Our preference is to source materials from like-minded companies in the first instance, with a view to encouraging sustainable production methods and buying behaviour throughout our beautiful nation of New Zealand.
The premium grade lock-knit flag fabric we use is manufactured in Manukau, and printed with high quality water based vegetable pigmentation ink. This fabric, once it had completed its useful display life, has been used as weed-matting for gardens.
Our association with the Buy NZ Made Campaign goes hand in hand with the Textiles Alive sustainable philosophy. By supporting NZ printed products, rather than those printed in far regions of our globe, you are not only supporting NZ resources (people and materials) - but you are also assisting to minimise the impact of your purchase on the planet.
We look forward to your support.
