St. Patrick’s Day is all about the luck of the Irish and the color green—but at Music City Creative, we take going green to the next level. Eco-friendly practices and sustainability are at the heart of everything we do! 🌎♻️
This year, while you’re rocking your favorite green attire, let’s talk about how you can make more eco-friendly choices when it comes to your apparel.
The fashion industry has a massive environmental footprint, which is why we choose to work with suppliers that prioritize sustainability. Our preferred garments are made from USA cotton, recycled polyester, and ethically sourced materials. Our suppliers also are dedicated to ethical manufacturing, meaning fewer pesticides, less water waste, and better working conditions for the people making them.
By supporting ethical and sustainable manufacturers, we ensure that every shirt, hoodie, and tote bag we print on is as kind to the planet as it is comfortable to wear.
Sustainability doesn’t stop at the products themselves, it also extends to how we ship them! We calculate the estimated shipping emissions for each order and contribute a portion of our revenue to carbon removal companies vetted by scientists from Carbon Direct. These organizations use that funding to remove the exact amount of carbon produced by our shipments.
We also take extra steps to minimize waste by using compostable mailers and recycled packaging. Every order is packed with intention, keeping environmental impact low without compromising quality.
We encourage bundling orders to reduce the number of shipments, lowering carbon emissions in the process.
Traditional inks in the U.S. are often plastisol-based, containing harmful chemicals and microplastics that linger in the environment long after a garment’s lifecycle. That’s why we exclusively use water-based inks—free from PVC and other toxic additives!
We love water-based ink because these inks stay wet on the screen longer, so we can print more shirts using less. They create bold, long-lasting prints with a softer, smooth feel, making your T-shirt even more comfortable to wear. Plus, water-based inks break down naturally over time, so they are a safer, more sustainable choice for both you and the planet.
And afterward, it rinses safely down the drain - no cleanup chemicals are required!
Even the smallest details of our products are crafted with sustainability in mind. We use 100% recycled polyester for all our embroidery projects–both for our clients and ourselves. This reduces textile waste while maintaining the high-quality stitching we’re known for.
Every stitch tells a story—one rooted in responsible production and a commitment to a greener future.
Whether you're grabbing a new favorite T-shirt or custom merch for an event, when you shop with Music City Creative, your purchase supports sustainable, ethical printing.
So this St. Patrick’s Day, wear your green and GO green! 🌍
