Hi All!<\/p>

I thought it might be a good idea to \u2018lift the bonnet\u2019 (or \u2018hood\u2019 depending on where you\u2019re reading this) on the operation.<\/p>

My store is powered by Teemill - they provide the infrastructure for what is basically a \u2018print on demand\u2019 business.<\/p>

Teemill provide an ethical, sustainable, organic product. Read on for more details\u2026<\/p>

\"ycptl0xki70m6cdy9ybthsu8op5u11z1dvkdn6ova14mimcd.png.png?w=1140&v=2\"Shopping with us is a vote for less waste<\/strong><\/p>

In our supply chain, we work with manufacturers who share our values. That means designing out waste. When products you've purchased from us become worn out or are no longer your style, you can send them back to be remade into something new instead of sending them to landfill. They'll be transformed into recycled yarn like this and woven into new t-shirts and jumpers to give them a new life.<\/p>

\"dck6lbrxcan4hay5nslfcxlzmcze1rr8nqceiibjuyu9nq4c.png.png?w=1140&v=2\"Traceable, from seed to shop<\/strong><\/p>

Sustainability is about knowing who made our products, what they're made from and where they go when they are worn out. That's traceability. And it's one of the reasons we work together with Teemill to manufacture our products. It's not just that the supply chain is certified organic, it means that we can see where our products get printed, and meet people like these happy chaps. People who have actually worked on the fields and in the factories that supply our organic cotton. So when you shop from us, together, we know we're all part of the solution to this thing called sustainability - not part of the problem.<\/p>

\"mp96h6fmdiqcvgnhwhrqagvpf7ios9mggv8yeluwwtz0asuo.png.png?w=1140&v=2\"Jump into the loop: Our circular supply chain<\/strong><\/p>

Because we want our products to be made as sustainably as possible, we work with Teemill, an open-access circular economy supply chain that makes products designed to be remade. Teemill is on a mission to recover 100 million items by 2027 and we can\u2019t do it without you. By sending back your products, you are helping us end waste. When the products you order from our store are worn out, simply scan the QR code in the label to send them back to us.<\/p>

\"efymkgg7c6osgaq6avcgu5pid2stzkkkzpcfa60fvu7hnwlg.png.png?w=1140&v=2\"Let's talk about Recovery<\/strong><\/p>

A truckload of clothing is sent to landfill every second. This is not sustainable. That's why in our supply chain, we work with manufacturers that do things differently. Every product from our brand was designed to be made into something new when worn out so the material stays in use. This picture is one of the shredding stations where old material is being remilled. Check the label of any product purchased from our store to learn more, and help keep the material flowing.<\/p>

\"nl3jwhvvsvrhyfznjlqmodycwme5r0fzqbb0ihdlryocmnbf.png.png?w=1140&v=2\"No secret ingredients<\/strong><\/p>

We're committed to making products that only use natural materials like this fluffy organic cotton. It's made the way nature intended, with no chemicals that could harm the wildlife around the fields. Because there's no secret ingredients, our products are super soft for ultimate comfort.<\/p>

\"7f3lo91xzlmfub3g7oujtkvnfhu9zc7aotxjihgsyj22fbze.png.png?w=1140&v=2\"No animal testing round here<\/strong><\/p>

Our products are vegan-friendly. They are not tested on animals and do not contain any animal-derived content. Yet true environmentalism is about more than just what we don't do. At every stage of our supply chain, care is taken to make sure that nature thrives. It starts with the noise of the bugs, bees and birds that live in the fields where our pesticide-free organic cotton is grown. And it ends there too, because using natural materials - instead of plastic - means that one day that material will end up back in a natural process. Maybe it'll decompose into plant food, or a home for a woodlouse. That's nature's solution. It means no pollution.<\/p>

So, I hope this blog has answered a few questions for you about how TalismanOnline operates - you can be confident you are using an ethical, sustainable supplier.<\/p>
