Our Commitment

It’s no secret that the apparel industry has a sustainability problem. We all know about the big apparel conglomerates that stockpile thousands of new items every week, adding to the growing problem of overproduction.

To paint the picture, a shocking 21% of produced textiles are estimated to remain unsold. Needless to say, the end-of-life journey for the leftover stock is most often unknown.

Sustainability is important to Radiant Tiara and we are getting better every step of the way while providing you with the quality products you deserve.


Made to Order

We work with on-demand suppliers to produce our designs, and only make items when we get an order, avoiding textile waste from overproduction. Our printing partner’s high-quality printing tech creates almost no wastewater and uses less energy than standard industry printers. The products we source are made from recycled materials and many are GOTS certified.

We are continuously working toward more sustainable production.

Direct to Garment Printing

Our clothing designs are fulfilled using various techniques. Many of our products are printed using the direct-to-garment (DTG) technique, where ink is first sprayed directly onto the garment and then absorbed into the fabric. It’s like printing on paper but on clothing. We use Kornit printers that generate almost zero wastewater and use less energy than standard industry printers, which lowers our carbon footprint.

The inks we use for printing are Oeko-Tex™ certified, vegan, water-based, and free of harmful chemicals. Radiant Tiara takes sustainability seriously. That’s why we take care to properly dispose of any leftover ink according to the ink supplier guidelines.

Embroidery

At Radiant Tiara, we embroider our products with 100% recycled polyester threads. These threads are also Oeko-Tex™ certified, meaning they’re safe for both adult and children’s clothing.


Compared to printing, embroidery is generally more durable and produces less waste, as there’s no ink residue.

Packaging

All our items are packed in post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic mailers. The amount of PCR in the packaging will differ depending on where your order gets printed, but it’s a minimum of 70% for both the outside (white or grey) poly mailer bags and the
inside (clear) bags used in multi-item shipments.


PCR packaging is made from everyday items like used plastic bags and bottles. This material protects your items just as well as regular plastic bags. However, choosing PCR over first-use plastics reduces the environmental impact plastic has on our planet.
