How we care for clothes can account for approximately 30% of a garment’s total carbon footprint. If we skip one in every six washing loads, wash our laundry at lower temperatures (at least do half of our laundry below 30 degrees) and hang dry our clothes at least one in six times we use the dryer, we can collectively reduce carbon emissions by 186 million tonnes. That’s huge! So here are some principles we live by (and recommend!) for garment care. Good for the planet, and great for your garment.

• Wash at lower temperatures—you can save so much energy by washing at 30 degrees and below.
  
• Wash less frequently—only wash if you need to. You’ll save a lot of water- the planet thanks you!
• Hang dry—no need for the dryer. You’re saving a lot on electricity!
• Warm iron only—no need for high temperatures.

If your shirt is torn – repair it if when you can. If you need extra buttons – feel free to drop us a line at hi@weareandall.com and we’ll get some over to you. Let us know too if you want our opinion if it’s fixable or not!

We don’t yet have a repair kit or service plan. We are just starting on our journey- watch this space!

We’ve designed your shirt for easy end of use and recycling. However, recyclers require large quantities for textile recycling and we just launched. We’ll keep you posted on plans!
