REDUCTION
The carbon footprint (CO2e) is the total carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and other greenhouse gases emitted during our production process. From cotton harvesting to textile production and warehousing.
Endangered Apparel shirts save around 7 kilograms of CO2e through the use of low impact organic agriculture, efficient manufacturing and by using renewable wind energy. This represents a 90% reduction when compared with similiar products.
