At Smart Shirts, we believe that sustainability is the cornerstone of any successful business. We continuously strive to implement and improve environmental conscious measures within our organization to maintain our leading status with the apparel manufacturing industry.

With our recent participation in the United Nations Climate Change Conference on behalf of China's manufacturing industry, we demonstrated our dedication and commitment towards improving the environment and minimize impact on climate change.

We established our climate action framework and set out definitive strategies to reduce our carbon footprint, minimize water and energy consumption and introduce green innovation methods to reuse and recycle valuable resources, thus achieving a sustainable circular economy.

Equivalent measures will be implemented at all our production facilities to ensure as an organization, we are moving in the same direction.

Water Saving – Heated Water Recycling

Waste water can be re-introduced into the manufacturing cycle via a sophisticated exchange system.

Water reach high temperatures after the fabric manufacture process. This heat can be recycled and used to heat up clean cold water, hence creating a continuous water and energy saving cycle.

Chemical Management – Sludge Treatment

Residuals from water treatment known as sludge is treated via an anaerobic treatment processes.

The cost and energy involved in disposing the sludge is much lower that traditional aerobic process whilst also creating gas and bio-carbons that can be become an energy source to produce steam.

Product Innovation – Sustainable Fibers

Our R&D teams continue to explore new technologies and opportunities to integrate sustainable raw materials into the product.

From organic cotton, recycled synthetics yarns, raw fibers from timber and plants to using natural dyeing techniques.

Our relentless drive to push boundaries and experiment with new possibilities helps strengthen our product knowledge and provide creative solutions to our customers.

Technology – Digital Design

Design and development using digital platforms and 3D technology is fast becoming an essential tool for the manufacturing industry.

The transition from 2D design to 3D true-to-life images can dramatically speed up the development process, reducing the need for actual fabric and sample production.

Transmitting digital files instead of physical garments save cost and valuable resources, whilst leaving behind less carbon footprint.
