That's why we set out to become the UK's sustainable <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/teemill.com\/print-on-demand\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">print-on-demand<\/a> t-shirt supplier and built the first <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/teemill.com\/blog\/ted-talk-sustainability-circular-economy\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">circular economy in sustainable fashion<\/a>. Our products are made from GOTS certified organic materials, using renewable energy and designed to come back to be remanufactured when they're worn out.<\/p><p><img src=\"https:\/\/images.teemill.com\/wyogoljkmyq8440cohjwtxdetwmmqo3jpm968sucybsuonps.jpg.jpg?w=1140&amp;v=2\" alt=\"wyogoljkmyq8440cohjwtxdetwmmqo3jpm968sucybsuonps.jpg.jpg?w=1140&amp;v=2\" \/>It's the advanced technology in our circular supply chain that makes this possible. Out in business-as-usual land, clothes are mass produced speculatively, producing massive amounts of waste: 40% of clothing is never worn. Our <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/teemill.com\/uk-tshirt-printing-sustainable\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">sustainable t-shirt printing<\/a> software prints products in the seconds after they've been ordered, and <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/teemill.com\/t-shirt-dropshipping\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">dropshipping<\/a> directly to the customer saves transport costs and lowers emissions. Those savings are spent on making organic cotton farming and renewables affordable. Robotics does the same thing, making the packing process 30% more efficient so the 10X increased cost of using sustainable packaging made from plants, not plastic is covered.<\/p><p><img src=\"https:\/\/images.teemill.com\/90ybavq0yx5bflnrweijndxm6t9beqsykiklxs0nif6tvfmq.jpg.jpg?w=1140&amp;v=2\" alt=\"90ybavq0yx5bflnrweijndxm6t9beqsykiklxs0nif6tvfmq.jpg.jpg?w=1140&amp;v=2\" \/><\/p>","urlTitle":"from-seed-to-shop","url":"\/blog\/from-seed-to-shop\/","editListUrl":"\/my-blogs","editUrl":"\/my-blogs\/edit\/from-seed-to-shop\/","fullUrl":"https:\/\/milotymes.co.uk\/blog\/from-seed-to-shop\/","featured":false,"published":true,"showOnSitemap":true,"hidden":false,"visibility":null,"createdAt":1704298376,"updatedAt":1704299266,"publishedAt":1704299266,"lastReadAt":null,"division":{"id":321418,"name":"Milo Tymes Faithful Clothing"},"tags":[{"id":2999,"code":"waste","name":"waste","url":"\/blog\/tagged\/waste\/"}],"metaImage":{"original":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/kbev7t3ciefwum7b0qdvuzsxwiliapa9kmtnhb704esqmdbm.jpeg","thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/kbev7t3ciefwum7b0qdvuzsxwiliapa9kmtnhb704esqmdbm.jpeg.jpg?w=1140&h=855","banner":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/kbev7t3ciefwum7b0qdvuzsxwiliapa9kmtnhb704esqmdbm.jpeg.jpg?w=1920&h=1440"},"metaTitle":"","metaDescription":"","keyPhraseCampaignId":null,"series":[],"similarReads":[{"id":34872,"title":"Washed to death","url":"\/blog\/washed-to-death\/","urlTitle":"washed-to-death","division":321418,"description":"Washed to deathWashing clothes releases 500,000 tons of microfibers into the ocean each year according to World Economic Forum statistics, that\u2019s the equivalent of 50 billion plastic bottles in weight but each tiny fibre is small enough to be absorbed by plankton and bioaccumulate up into our food chains.
