How we're helping.

Squad O'Imbeciles and its partners care a lot about sustainability and the environment. We are taking whatever steps we can to make the merchandising process less hectic on the environment.

 

All of our current products are made to order. So all products are printed ONLY once an order has been placed. This reduces fabric waste that comes from usual manufacturing. A disgusting 85% of textiles end up in landfills and are a huge contributor to environmental damage. Print-on-demand production tries to reduce this.

Packaging is as eco-friendly as possible, and Printful, the company printing and shipping our products, is trying to improve on this end. 

Apparel is packaged in polymer mailers. If more than one Apparel item is ordered, they are packaged into their own separate polymer bags before being shipped. 

Hats are packaged in corrugated cardboard boxes.

Biodegradable Phone Cases are delivered in small cardboard boxes.

Posters are shipped in triangular kraft boxes to ensure safe delivery and avoid the use of plastic caps.

Most sublimated items go in polymer mailers. Mugs are packaged in cardboard boxes. 

 

To speed up and cheapen shipping and reduce CO₂ emissions, Printful has fulfilment facilities worldwide. They have facilities on both US coasts—in Charlotte, North Carolina and Los Angeles, California. They also have fulfilment centres in Canada, Mexico, Latvia, Spain, and fulfilment partners in Australia and Japan. We at Squad O'Imbeciles select products that can be fulfilled in at least both Europe and the USA. Any extra places are added bonuses.

 

Apparel (DTG) is printed with Kormit machines and ink. Their inks are eco-friendly, CPSIA-compliant, non-toxic, non-hazardous and soluble in water. They're free from heavy metals, formaldehyde, and Alkylphenol Ethoxylates (APE). These inks are also certified with an OEKO-TEX Eco Passport.

Posters are printed with Epson inks that are certified by GreenGuard.

All-over print products use Mimaki printers—their inks are also certified with the OEKO-TEX Eco Passport.

 

Lastly, we only select high-quality products that have been sourced and manufactured ethically, sustainably and safely. And whenever possible, we prefer to use eco-friendly products. Products need to have at least a GOTS or OEKO-TEX® certificate to be qualified for selection.

 

We hope to update this statement with more info whenever we implement more changes that impact our carbon footprint positively. If you want to contact us with any concerns, questions or suggestions about our brand and/or products, please feel free to use our contact form! We'll help out however we can and take suggestions to heart.
