Welcome to the US Route 89 Shop
Sustainablity and Print-On-Demand
Here’s a fact: The fashion industry is responsible for 10% of the global carbon emissions and is the second-largest consumer of the world’s fresh water supply.
On top of that, there’s a serious problem with overproduction and waste in the industry. Global clothing production has more than doubled since 2000, and fast fashion retailers are offering new collections every week, instead of just for summer and winter seasons. 92 million tons of textile goes to waste in the fashion industry each year.
And the cheap prices retailers offer also come with a downside—a reduction of quality. Using cheap, synthetic materials and rudimentary manufacturing processes result in clothing that easily rips and tears, and ends up in the dumpster sooner rather than later. That is the downside of fast fashion—fast to produce, fast to wear down.
For these reasons we have chosen to produce our shirts and hats using a print-on-demand company. With print-on-demand, your product is created only when you place an order. This approach helps us avoid overproduction, keeping an excessive amount of products away from the landfill. Creating products on-demand means reducing the harm by at least 20%.
The company that produces our products is know for their high quality in materials and workmanship. You can be confident that your shirt and hat will wear well and last a long time. And this year we have been able to add two new t-shirts, one that is eco-friendly and one that is organic. You’ll find more information about these shirts in the shop.
