Ask about the material

Request composition and any claimed recycled content documentation. Do not infer a certification from a colour, label or supplier description.

Consider the use cycle

Review washing, drying, transport and replacement as well as initial material choice. Compare realistic use scenarios.

Review packaging

Consider the necessary protection, pack size and waste created in your actual distribution process. Confirm local disposal options before printing recycling instructions.

Keep claims precise

Ask for the scope and basis of environmental claims. Avoid unsupported “eco-friendly,” biodegradable or zero-impact statements on your branded packaging.

Turn the guidance into a clear brief.

Record your surface, desired result and sample approval requirements before comparing cloths.
