"3 out of 5 T-shirts will end up in the bin. It’s wasteful and doesn’t financially make sense"
I hopped on a Ferry and headed over to the Isle of Wight to make my very own branded t-shirt for this episode (see Sustainable Squad on social channels to see my experience). Sofia Voudouroglou, who looks after marketing and comms, walked me through their clever but very simple process of setting up your own website, creating your own clothing brand and then printing your own design on a t-shirt made from 100% organic cotton, a material made to be remade.
Founded in 2014, Teemill is the world’s biggest dedicated circular economy platform. It works with more than 10,000 brands, including global NGOs and businesses, media, online content creators, influencers and side hustlers, providing an open-access circular design and supply chain platform. Its users include Greenpeace, WWF, BBC Earth, Google, Selfridges, Fortnum and Mason, and Lush.
They truly believe in accessibility and collaboration to tackle the huge issue with waste. That's why they've created a platform that anyone can use, anywhere and however they.
