99% of clothes aren\u2019t recycled. Welcome to the 1%.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>

T-shirt production works on a linear model where products are made, used, then thrown into landfill, and this leaves us with problems. There is limited space on Earth, and filling it with over 2 billion tons of waste a year doesn't seem to us the best use of the space. Consider the cost of trash on a global scale - not just environmental, but material and financial, too.<\/p>

A linear supply chain where things are designed to be thrown away reduces resources, turns them into trash and trashes nature at our expense. It doesn\u2019t really make sense. That\u2019s why when we make t-shirts, we make them in a different way.<\/p>

So, how is cotton clothing made at Teemill? In this post, we'll explain the process. Understanding how sustainable clothing is made means exploring the full supply chain, from growing the cotton to printing your designs on the finished t-shirt.<\/p>
