- How ABAY (ARUGAMBAY SURF CO) Taking Part of Sustainable Fashion Movement
Eco-friendly products
Our eco-friendly product collection consists of items that are made of at least 30% sustainable, recycled, or biodegradable materials.
We work with suppliers that produce high-quality products that last many washes, keeping print colors vibrant and the fabric soft.about product sourcing or manufacturing, product certificates that are as GOTS and OEKO-TEXโto all our products that have been certified.
Efficient printing
A significant part of our products are printed with the direct-to-garment (DTG) technique. With DTG, ink is sprayed onto the garment, which helps it soak better into the fabric and makes the print less prone to fading.For our Supplier DTG prints,use Kornit machines and inks. Kornit uses high-quality, water-based vegan inks that they formulate, test, and produce in their own factories. Kornit inks are non-hazardous, toxin-free, biodegradable, and certified with an OEKO-TEX Eco Passport.
Packaging
Reducing the use of plastic in our packaging
Having more environmentally friendly packaging choices is important to our customers, yet itโs one of the most difficult things to do. Plastic materialsโlike mailer bags and additional plastic wrapsโare good at keeping your products safe and sound till they reach your doorstep. However, weโre working on finding ways to reduce our plastic use so we use one poly mailer bag to package them.
weโre also experimenting with using cardboard packaging for phone cases,as well as exploring environmentally friendly void filler options for box shipments to boost our sustainability measures.
The change is going to be gradual, and we're moving forward one step at a time
we've eliminated the second layer of plastic packaging for all single-item shipments
we're testing the best paper tape to switch over from acrylic tape
to eliminate the need for plastic caps in poster packaging, weโve switched from cardboard tubes to triangular boxes
adding recycling instructions to the poly mailer bags we're currently using
weโll keep looking for more ways to improve our packaging and reduce plastic use even more.
ย
Learning every step of the wayItโs a long road to becoming more environmentally friendly,
ย
yet we strongly believe that every moveโno matter how big or smallโis an important one. Weโre putting realistic and tangible goals first, and looking ahead to find new ways to improve.
ย
Thereโs still a lot to do and a lot of mistakes to learn from, but weโre believing to getting better every step of the way. We know sustainability is important, and itโs uplifting to see our customers showing passion for a greener future. Our sustainability journey is a long one,but weโre happy to be on it.
