After two serious posts on cotton and bamboo, finally, the scoop on where to shop. Here are some of eco-friendly adult and baby clothing, home goods manufacturers and retailers that I loved. Something to think about with the gift buying season coming up.

Screen printing
T.S. Designs: Their REHANCE screen printing process avoids using plastisol inks.
QuantumOne from Wilflex is another non-PVC and non-phthalate plastisol screen printing ink that has similar look, feel and characteristics of conventional plastisol screen printing systems.
The European T-Shirt Factory is an interesting green printing story with a strong … and sincere … sustainability focus supported by ethical workplace policies for their employees. For their large commercial clients like Nike, Adidas, Polo and Wal-Mart (of course), the European T-Shirt Factor does everything from the knitting of tee shirts using certified organic cotton on tubular knitting machines, to eco-friendly screen printing on the finest commercial screen print equipment, to packaging (including bar coding, tagging and bagging), to distribution directly to their retail stores. Besides screen printing, the European T-shirt Factory also does apparel embroidery in its Egyptian facility.
Happy Shopping !
