Sustainability
Our strong commitment to the environment
We aim to provide an experience both sellers and customers can feel good about, by sourcing garments from ethical suppliers and using recyclable shipping bags (learn more here!). Third-Party printers use DTG inks that are 100% biodegradable, water-based, contain no animal by-products, and are vegan-friendly. Misprinted items and returns are repurposed, recycled, or donated – nothing goes in the landfill.

Responsibility
Fair conditions, non-toxic inks, low textile waste
Every purchase is printed on-demand – no warehouses are filled with unsold products – and most items are shipped from locations closest to their final destination to cut down on their carbon and energy footprint. The third party printers are held to safe, non-hazardous, and toxin-free production standards via a Fair Labor Code of Conduct.
Additionally, garments are sourced from ethical suppliers, and apparel products offered on the TeePublic marketplace are certified by WRAP, a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting ethical manufacturing through labor standards and education.

Empowerment
A new way for independent creators to share with the world
Everything in the TeePublic marketplace is created by a global community of independent artists. We welcome creators of all kinds – from casual doodlers to professionals – to upload their work for customers to appreciate, and every purchase puts money in an artist's pocket. Take part in something good.

Encouraging Good
Connecting with the local community
We support local arts programs and charities, because we believe that creativity makes the world a better place. We have partnered with local organizations such as the Society of Illustrators, MoCCA, and POWArts to help them empower artists of all ages within our community and worldwide.
