SUSTAINABILITY AND GOTS


SUSTAINABLE TEXTILE AND PRINT

In order for a textile product to be truly sustainable, every part of its
production process must be sustainable - from cultivation, through processing,
to final treatments such as printing or packaging. Although the textile can be
made of organic cotton, if sustainable principles are not taken into account in
the next steps of its production, for example, if it is dyed with toxic dyes or
printed with toxic inks, it also loses its original quality and the unique
benefits of the material.


SUSTAINABILITY AT MERCHYOU

From the very beginning, we have been working towards being as environmentally
friendly as possible in every aspect of our production process. Because we are
eco-conscious in our daily lives, it is indeed natural to do business this way
as well. We were one of the first European textile printing companies to only
use eco-friendly inks that do not contain heavy metals or phthalates. 
 
We are thrilled to be the first Slovak company, and at the same time the only
one in Slovakia, which offers ecological GOTS certified t-shirt and other
textile printing. Obtaining GOTS certificate is a conclusion of our continual
effort to produce ecologically and ethically. Not only textile and inks for
printing, but also all our production processes comply with the highest
environmental and ethical standards. (Learn more about the specific sustainable
steps we take in our production below.)



If you decide to order GOTS printing together with GOTS textile, you can get
fully certified GOTS product at MERCHYOU!


GOTS CERTIFICATE

Ecological and ethical production guaranteed

The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) is recognised as the world's leading
processing standard for textiles made from organic fibres. It defines high-level
environmental criteria along the entire organic textile supply chain including
printing and requires compliance with social criteria as well. 
 
GOTS certification ensures compliance with strict criteria throughout the whole
supply chain – from harvesting of the raw materials through environmentally and
socially responsible manufacturing and printing all the way to labelling – in
order to provide credible assurance to the customer. It is therefore clearly the
best choice if one looks for quality and transparency in every aspect of the
production.

GOTS certification is granted by an independent, specially accredited
certification body approved under GOTS and all operations are regularly
inspected.

MERCHYOU production is regularly inspected by the Soil Association - an
independent certification authority that guarantees that we produce in
compliance with all GOTS standards. By choosing all the steps of our production
consciously and responsibly, we protect the environment, the health of our
employees, and ultimately you, our clients.

You can verify the validity of our certificate at any time in the GOTS database
at global-standard.org by entering the license number or our company name.

MERCHYOU licence no.: DK25671, see the certificate.




WHY IS IT A GOOD IDEA TO ORDER GOTS CERTIFIED PRODUCTS?

 * Growing cotton ecologically means the manufacturer protects farm workers as
   well as the environment.
 * Textile printing without dangerous chemicals at MERCHYOU means we protect our
   employees as well as the environment.
 * Ordering products that have no harmful residues means you protect the end
   consumer – your customer.

WE RECOMMEND GOTS CERTIFIED STANLEY/STELLA TEXTILE. THE BRAND REFLECTS CURRENT
FASHION TRENDS AND MEETS THE HIGHEST ENVIRONMENTAL AND ETHICAL STANDARDS OF
PRODUCTION.

A GOTS license number and the name of the license holder can be found on the
GOTS product label. When choosing sustainable products, we recommend that you
always verify the information about the independent certification body as well
as other information about the certified company to make sure that the producer
really is certified to GOTS. 👌
Our GOTS hang tag is printed on 100% recycled paper with soy ink. 


PETA-APPROVED VEGAN CERTIFICATE

Ethical production guaranteed

PETA, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, is an international
non-profit organisation dedicated to the protection of animal rights. PETA
fights various forms of animal cruelty, whether in laboratory experiments, food
and clothing production or entertainment.

In our production, we do not use any materials of animal origin and all our inks
and auxiliary materials are vegan. Through the PETA-Approved Vegan certificate,
we at MERCHYOU guarantee that no animal tests are and will ever be performed in
the manufacture of our products.

You can verify the validity of our certificate at any time at peta.org.

MERCHYOU licence no.: PAV13169, see the certificate.


FAMA CERTIFICATE

Certified by Disney

Facility and Merchandise Authorization (FAMA) is the certification authorised by
Disney. Through the FAMA certificate we have committed to respecting human
rights, monitoring the safety and integrity of products, and reducing the
environmental footprint of our supply chain.

Disney branded products may only be produced or handled at facility certified to
FAMA by Disney. This certificate therefore confirms that we are authorised to
manufacture and distribute products bearing intellectual property of The Walt
Disney Company and its affiliates, such as Marvel, Pixar and Star Wars-branded
products.


SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTION AT MERCHYOU

At MERCHYOU, we really care about our planet, the environment and human health.
And we are aware of the impact that our production can have. That is why we are
constantly striving to improve our production processes so that we are as
sustainable as possible to the environment and people.


SUSTAINABLE TEXTILE ORIGIN

We are a textile printing company, so in addition to the printing production
processes, the selection and supply of the textile itself is an important part
of our work. We do care about the conditions of its production, therefore we
recommend choosing materials and textile products that are organic, made
environmentally friendly and socially responsibly.

In our catalogue, you can easily search for a wide range of sustainable textile.
We love to work with Stanley/Stella textile. The brand reflects current fashion
trends and meets the highest environmental and ethical standards of production.

GOTS CERTIFIED STANLEY/STELLA TEXTILE TOGETHER WITH OUR GOTS CERTIFIED PRINT
MAKES FOR A COMPLETELY CERTIFIED GOTS MERCH. PRODUCT YOU CAN BE CONFIDENT IS
BEING PRODUCED WITH ENVIRONMENTALLY SUSTAINABLE AND ETHICAL MANUFACTURING
PRACTICES.


ECO-FRIENDLY PRODUCTION PROCESSES

• We have implemented an internal environmental protection program so that we
can analyse and subsequently reduce the impact of our own activities on the
environment.
• In accordance with international standards and regulations, we perform a life
cycle analysis of our products.
• We optimize our production through organizational measures to ensure
production efficiency and reduce the consumption of energy, water and raw
materials, reduce the generation of waste from the production process and
non-production processes, as well as emissions in the production process.

• We are able to consume 70% less water during GOTS printing.
• Before discharging it into the waste, we perform two-phase sedimentation and
filtration of the water, thanks to which no harmful particles get further into
sewerage system.
• An independent laboratory chemically tested wastewater in our production for
the content of alkylphenols, chlorophenols, heavy metals, phthalates, polycyclic
aromatic hydrocarbons, chlorinated paraffins, chlorinated benzenes and toluenes.
All of these substances were detected well below the required limit value or
were almost zero. If interested, the detailed analysis is available here.

• We use GOTS certified inks, which do not contain any heavy metals, phthalates
or other harmful chemicals.
• During the GOTS printing itself, we then use a special GOTS certified
adhesive, on the gentler basis of water.

• We wash auxiliary cleaning cloths and then use them repeatedly.
• We use textile damaged during production for test printing.
• When we can no longer use textile in our facilities, we hand it to a company
that uses it to produce insulating materials.
• Specialized company liquidates harmful waste for us.
• And of course, we recycle all the waste.
• In addition to regular recycling, we also sort clean paper and plastic, which
we sell directly for further use in accordance with the circular economy.

• When finalizing the product and preparing it for transport to the customer, we
use packaging that ensures protection of the product and at the same time uses
recyclable, degradable and reusable packaging that does not contain hazardous
substances.
• We handle the waste generated from our packaging responsibly. We are
registered with the Ministry of the Environment and how we handle waste is
controlled by the local Producer Responsibility Organisation.

For the transport of the final product, we use the services of such carriers who
ensure the protection of the product during transport so that it maintains its
quality and their vehicles comply with all standards of environmental
protection, especially CO2 emissions.

We are aware of the threats of the climate crisis, and therefore the carbon
neutrality of our production is one of the important sustainable goals we are
aiming for.


TAKING CARE OF OUR EMPLOYEES

• We provide our employees with safe and ethical working conditions.
• Their work is rewarded with a fair and decent wage.
