Sustainability
Feel good about wearing your PNW KYNE
gear knowing that it was made with our planet in mind. Our shirts, sweatshirts, and tank tops are sustainably manufactured in Los Angeles and printed using eco-friendly production methods.
Making The Apparel
Using environmentally friendly, bluesign approved materials, all of the fabric for our shirts is dyed in Los Angeles and adheres to some of the strictest EPA regulations in the world. More than seven times less water is used in this process, which saves an average of 24 million gallons a week. All used water goes through a filtration system to ensure that no chemicals or dyes end up in our natural water systems.
Every opportunity is taken to reduce CO2 emissions during the manufacturing process. Solar energy powers the sewing and cutting facilities, while motion-sensor LED lighting and skylights are used throughout the buildings.
Almost no landfill is produced during the manufacturing process as most everything that can't be turned into a finished product is recycled in one way or another. Excess fabric is turned into things like baby bibs, stuffing for upholstery, or a number of other things.
At the end of the process, we end up with the softest fabrics and the best fit. The combed airlume cotton fabric provides for superior softness, breathability, durability in our shirts and sweatshirts.Decorating the Apparel
At PNW KYNE, we use eco-friendly water based inks to decorate our apparel.
