Eco-Friendly Efforts

AUTHENT!C8 Collective & Apparel sees minimizing our environmental impact and respecting the natural world as a necessity in fulfilling our purpose.

Did you know that the global fashion industry uses an estimated 80 trillion litres of water each year?

Conserving natural resources is one of the many ways we can express gratitude for our home planet. Mass amounts of water is used during most garment production, which results in negative impacts on our environment and the life within it. In addition, many industry-standard inks are made using toxins that can be harmful to the environment, which is why our process avoids the release of chemicals during and after the printing process.

To keep our efforts eco-friendly, we choose sustainable materials, such as organic cotton, which is cultivated without the use of synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or GMOs. During the print process, our apparel uses water-based inks that are 100% toxin-free and non-hazardous. When shipping your apparel, our product packaging relies exclusively on biodegradable and recycled materials. Maximizing our efforts, we operate through a print-on-demand model, which allows us to minimize production waste.

Since 2025, our Vintage Collection has become an outlet for hundreds of people to shop ethical fashion online, and in-person at our local markets. In general, purchasing second-hand help to reduce waste in our landfills, and allows us to support non-profits in our area. Whether you're donating or buying goods, your contribution matters to charity organizations who help communities all around the world.
