Sustainability & Certifications
🌿 PCH Pure | Sustainability & Certifications
🌊 Our Commitment to a Cleaner Coastline
At PCH Pure, sustainability isn’t a trend — it’s the foundation of everything we make.
From seed to seam, every product is built with respect for people and the planet.
We partner exclusively with certified suppliers that meet globally recognized environmental and social standards.
Our mission is simple: create timeless apparel that protects the coast we love and supports everyone involved in making it.
🌾 Certified Organic Cotton (GOTS)
All our tees, hoodies, and totes are made from 100% GOTS-certified organic cotton — the gold standard for organic textiles.
The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) guarantees:
- Cotton grown without toxic pesticides or GMOs
- Safe, fair working conditions
- Traceability through the entire supply chain
- Environmentally responsible dyeing and finishing processes
Every PCH Pure garment is made by certified partners that meet or exceed GOTS, SA8000, and OEKO-TEX standards. Each factory we work with is independently audited and powered by renewable energy.
🧵 OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 & DETOX TO ZERO
Our fabrics and inks are OEKO-TEX Standard 100 (Annex 4 & 6) certified, meaning they’re tested for harmful substances and safe for direct skin contact.
The DETOX TO ZERO compliance goes a step further — verifying that no hazardous chemicals are released during production.
Together, these standards help us guarantee clean materials and cleaner water.
🤝 SA8000 & Fairtrade FLOCERT: People First
We only work with factories that uphold SA8000 Social Accountability principles and Fairtrade FLOCERT certification.
That means:
- Fair wages and working hours
- No child or forced labor
- Safe, equitable, and empowering workplaces
While Teemill itself is audited for SA8000, our overseas partner factory holds SA8000 certification, ensuring your clothing is made ethically from start to finish.
🌎 WRAP Platinum & Nordic Swan Eco-Label
We collaborate with facilities recognized by WRAP Platinum ( Worldwide Responsible Accredited Production ), which enforces high standards for human rights, environmental care, and manufacturing integrity.
The Nordic Swan Ecolabel confirms low-impact production and reduced energy use — a key reason our supply chain runs on renewable energy.
🔄 GRS (Global Recycled Standard) & IGBC Green Factory (Platinum)
Even our off-cuts and returned textiles are repurposed through GRS-certified recycling programs, turning waste into new fiber loops.
Our main production site is an IGBC Green Factory (Platinum-rated) — meaning water recycling, energy efficiency, and zero-waste targets are part of daily operations.
📦 Plastic-Free, Carbon-Conscious Packaging
Every PCH Pure order ships in compostable, plastic-free mailers made from cornstarch and paper.
We print using water-based inks and offset our carbon footprint through renewable-energy programs.
Because sustainability doesn’t stop when your order leaves the factory — it arrives that way, too.
💚 Continuous Improvement & Transparency
Sustainability isn’t a certificate you hang on a wall — it’s a process.
We regularly review our partners, materials, and packaging to push for cleaner, smarter practices.
Each new capsule comes with a full traceability record and updated supplier certifications, available upon request.
We believe in radical transparency, so you always know who made your clothes, how they were made, and why they matter.
