Do we have to sacrifice comfort and whiteness to have a more sustainable t-shirt?
We love:
- The feeling of a soft and comfortable t-shirt…
- …that stays white and bright…
- …and looks newer for longer
We don’t love:
- Wasting natural resources
- Using too much chemistry that ends up in the environment
- Pouring money down the drain!
