Fetch The Sun's Sustainability Mission

Our Commitment to Environmental Progress for Future Generations

Our mission is to make the world a more beautiful place, by helping both humans and their four-legged friends look amazing while reducing our impact on the environment. That's why in 2021 we took big steps towards sustainability with eco-friendly apparel made from organic cotton and recycled polyester – because every choice counts when protecting Mother Earth!

Through meaningful product designs, we hope to impart a sense of appreciation for the outdoors and foster respect for our environment. Our commitment lies in paving the way toward environmental progress so that future generations can enjoy nature’s wonders without worry.

Our Sustainability Goal

With a determined focus on environmental sustainability, we are proud to have charted our course towards the goal of providing 100% eco-friendly Fetch The Sun apparel by 2025. We hope that this commitment will make strides in caring for the earth and future generations.

Ethically Sourced Materials

At Fetch The Sun, we believe in using only the best materials for our apparel. We are committed to creating sustainable and eco-friendly clothing that looks great and is kind to the environment. That’s why we source organic cotton and recycled polyester to make up the ingredients of our clothing. Our fabrics are designed not only to look great, but to be gentle on the planet. By choosing organic and recycled materials, we’re helping make sure that our clothes are produced with sustainable methods and created from materials that will last for years to come. We invite you to scroll through our material tabs and read more about our fabrics and practices.

Organic Cotton

The use of organic cotton in our apparel is a critical component of our sustainability plan because it helps reduce the overall environmental impact created by traditional cotton production. Organic cotton farming practices are designed to conserve water, reduce soil erosion and degradation, and minimize the use of hazardous pesticides or other harmful chemicals.

Because organic cotton uses fewer resources than traditional cotton, it also helps to protect local ecosystems from pollution. Additionally, organic cotton crops tend to be more resilient in challenging environmental conditions such as drought or flooding—making them better suited for sustainable agriculture. Organic cotton is a safer choice for consumers as it eliminates potential exposure to toxic chemicals and synthetic fertilizers. By opting for organic cotton over conventional varieties, we can help support a more sustainable future for everyone.

Recycled Polyester

Recycled plastics/polys are an important part of creating a more sustainable future. Using recycled plastics reduces the amount of new plastic that needs to be produced, helping reduce emissions from the manufacturing process and limiting the strain on our natural resources. In addition, recycled plastic products use less energy in their production than those made from fresh materials, resulting in lower greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution overall. Using recycled plastics can help divert waste away from landfills, providing a much-needed end-use for items that could otherwise end up as trash.

By making more conscious choices about what kinds of products we buy, we can help support sustainable production methods while helping protect the environment. Recycling plastic is one small step we can take towards creating a better, more sustainable planet.

Holistic Approach to Sustainability

We go beyond just using eco-friendly materials. We integrate sustainable practices into every step of our manufacturing and daily operations. Our goal is to actively reduce our carbon footprint and contribute to a greener future.

Ethical Manufacturing

Our mission doesn't stop at sourcing eco-friendly materials. We strive to ensure ethical manufacturing practices as part of our overall commitment to sustainability. We work with partners who are dedicated to using sustainable materials and processes, while also ensuring fair labor practices in their factories. These factories are committed to providing safe and healthy working conditions for employees, respecting the rights of all workers involved in the production process. Additionally, all our partners adhere to strict environmental standards that help reduce the impact of their manufacturing operations on the environment. We are proud to work with those who share in our commitment to creating a more sustainable future for everyone.

Sustainability in Our Daily Operations

We're committed to sustainability in our daily operations and we continue to take steps to reduce our carbon footprint. We've implemented remote working options to minimize unnecessary travel, opting for virtual activities whenever possible. For shipping larger customer orders, we've switched to recyclable kraft boxes and in 2022, we went even further by introducing protective packaging made from completely recycled water bottles for our apparel. When it comes to ecommerce deliveries, we only use shippers who are taking action to protect the environment, such as incorporating bio diesel and electric vehicles into their fleets.
