Hatley Life

Our Environment

Hatley’s commitment to the environment is evident in the many practices the company has adopted to ensure
its line of apparel and gift items are produced in the most environmentally conscious manner possible and the
materials used are known to be safe. Here are the things Hatley’s currently up to:

 Garment Production & Shipping 

• We use only azo-free dyes in our apparel.
  
  
• We only use non-chlorinated bleach.
  
  
• We use only closed loop dyers. this ensures that waste water from the dyeing process does not
  contaminate the water table of the communities we work with.
  
  
• Our company goal is to use organic cotton, natural fibers and alternative sustainable fibers wherever
  possible. 
  
  
• All all products are PVC free.
  
  
• We have replaced all our plastic garment shipping bags in India with Mater-Bi bags. These bags are
  100% compostable and biodegrable, made out of starch and cotton seeds— completely non-toxic and compostable. So far we have replaced about 1 million bags a year with these. We’re currently in the
  process of replacing all our shipping bags from China with the same material.

 Printing & Packaging

• All of our magnetic lists are printed on recycled paper.
  
  
• Our catalogues are printed on paper that comes from FSC managed forests.
  
  
• All hang tags and packaging are printed using vegetable ink on unbleached, uncoated, recycled paper whenever available.
