Bella+Canvas is an eco-friendly company that labels themselves as USA Strong. Their cotton is sourced from all over the world but their dyeing, cutting and part of their sewing processes are completed in Los Angeles. They employee thousands of Americans in California while the other sewing operations are completed in Central America.
Bella+Canvas is committed to ethical standards. As posted on their website (www.bellacanvas.com), “By using newer, more efficient dye machines, we use 7x less water than the average for clothing manufacturers, saving 24 million gallons a week. Any water we do use goes through a filtration system that allows it to be recycled.”
They also make every effort to reduce their carbon footprint with the use of skylights in their buildings and motion sensor LED lighting. All employees are encouraged to use electric vehicles and charging stations are available for them to use while at work.
“Our manufacturing facilities and LA Headquarters produce almost no landfill because we recycle pretty much everything that can't be turned into a tee. We've optimized our cutting to reduce plastic use, and excess fabric is recycled into a number of things like baby bibs or stuffing for upholstery. Let nothing go to waste!”
