Ethical & Sustainability
Catori Clothing is committed to ethically printing all our items in the USA and ensuring compliance throughout the entire supply chain. We use a range of materials sourced from locations such as the Dominican Republic and Pakistan which is then shipped to LA for completion.
We require -
✔ High sustainability requirements from all our suppliers.
✔ International certifications to ensure items are ethically produced.
✔ On-location inspections for all our suppliers.
SUSTAINABLE PACKAGING
We're transitioning to 100% home and commercial compostable mailers made from a combination of PBAT, a bio based polymer which is compostable and PLA which is made up from items such as corn and straw.
Best of all they're non-toxic!
Our mailer bags are certified by leading authorities worldwide and include meeting the European standard EN13432, Australian AS-5810 as well as the United States standard ASTM D 6400.
Our mailer bags are certified to break down within 90 days in a commercial compost and 180 days in domestic compost conditions including farm/worm compost. After they've been broken down they leave no toxic or harmful residues. This will be a staged rollout so keep a lookout for our new look packaging from March 2021!
WRAP CERTIFIED PARTNERS
We believe in a safe and fair workplace environment for everyone and use WRAP certified partners where we can to ensure that all our partners are also committed to the same philosophy.
✔ Humane Manufacturing Facilities
✔ Safety Standards are being met
✔ Environmental and Eco-Friendly Compliance

DEMAND-DRIVEN PRODUCTION
The fashion industry has an extremely large environmental impact and is one of the largest polluting industries in the world. We want to do our part by making our environmental impact as low as possible and have chosen for demand-driven production to pave the way for this change. Most of our products are produced on-demand once an order is placed to avoid excess production ending up in landfill and reducing our carbon footprint. We hope to be able to achieve a zero waste future.
SUPPLY CHAIN TRANSPARENCY
We work with a range of talented individuals who are part of the process in getting your items to your door. We're currently working on tracing all of our tier 1 suppliers including greater visibility into certifications and approvals.
