Sustainable Apparel Options
SaveOnShirts.ca carries a growing selection of blank apparel made with organic cotton, recycled polyester, recycled PET and other materials designed to reduce reliance on conventional raw materials. Sustainability attributes vary by brand and product, so we provide product-specific fabric information wherever available.
Customers looking for apparel with recycled or organic content can choose from T-shirts, sweatshirts, polos, jackets, fleece, headwear and other styles from several of the brands available on our website.
Organic Cotton Apparel
Several products available from SaveOnShirts.ca contain organic cotton, either as the primary fabric or as part of a blended material.
Allmade is one of the strongest examples in our current selection. Selected Allmade styles are made with 100% organic cotton, while other Allmade tri-blend garments combine recycled polyester, organic cotton and modal.
Selected Nike apparel also contains organic cotton as part of its fabric composition. The exact percentage varies by style, so customers should review the individual product description for complete material specifications.
Recycled Polyester & Recycled Materials
Recycled polyester is available across a number of products on SaveOnShirts.ca. Depending on the garment, recycled polyester may make up part of the fabric blend or nearly all of a specific garment component.
Examples currently available on our site include:
- Allmade: Selected tri-blend styles contain 50% recycled polyester combined with organic cotton and modal.
- Nike: Selected polos, performance tops and outerwear contain recycled polyester, with some styles using a high percentage of recycled content.
- The North Face: Selected jackets, fleece and headwear use recycled polyester in shells, linings or primary fabric construction.
- Gildan: Selected Hammer Maxweight sweatshirts contain recycled polyester blended with cotton.
- Callaway: Selected Eco polos contain recycled polyester as part of their fabric composition.
- INIVI: Selected headwear is manufactured using recycled PET material made from plastic bottles.
- ATC: Selected garments may contain recycled polyester as part of the fabric blend.
Because fabric compositions can vary between styles and sometimes between colours, always refer to the individual product page for the most current specifications.
Apparel Made with Recycled PET
Recycled PET is commonly produced from recycled plastic materials, including plastic bottles, and can be converted into polyester fibres for use in apparel and accessories.
Selected products available on SaveOnShirts.ca specifically identify recycled PET as part of their construction, including certain headwear styles.
Product Certifications & Material Standards
Some products on SaveOnShirts.ca also carry certifications or manufacturing attributes that relate to material safety or production standards.
OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100
Selected garments are identified as meeting OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 requirements. This certification relates to testing textiles for harmful substances. It should not be confused with organic certification or recycled-content certification.
PFAS-Free Water-Repellent Treatments
Selected outerwear products use PFAS-free water-repellent treatments. Where this information is provided by the manufacturer, it is included in the individual product specifications.
How to Find Products with Sustainability Attributes
When comparing products, review the fabric and product-description sections for terms such as:
- Organic cotton
- Recycled polyester
- Recycled PET
- Recycled content
- OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100
- PFAS-free treatment
These descriptions provide more useful information than broad terms such as “green” or “eco-friendly,” because they identify the specific material or manufacturing attribute associated with the product.
Product Information & Availability
SaveOnShirts.ca relies on specifications supplied by apparel manufacturers and distributors. Materials, certifications, colours and product availability can change over time. Sustainability-related claims apply only to the specific products, fabrics or components identified by the manufacturer and should not be interpreted as applying to every product carried by SaveOnShirts.ca.
If recycled content, organic cotton or another specific material attribute is important to your order, please review the current product specifications before purchasing.
