Hooray! They've been eagerly awaited for a long time and finally our new T-shirts and sweatshirts for the SIRPLUS team have arrived.
Just in time for the opening of our new rescue market in the East Side Mall on November 10th, we were able to proudly represent SIRPLUS in the brand new and pristine white shirts.
Of course, responsible and sustainable consumption is important to us not only when it comes to food but also textiles. For this reason, we looked for a company to print our new shirts that shares these values. In our search for a suitable textile printing company, we came across Cantana , which offers an organic textile printing service in Germany.
At SIRPLUS, we naturally want to ensure that both nature and people are taken into consideration, and that's why we found the perfect partner in Cantana. Through the Love Green concept, Cantana sources exclusively organic textiles from certified organic farming, where harmful pesticides and chemicals are avoided during cultivation. Cotton plants are particularly susceptible to pests, and in conventional farming, no other crop is treated as intensively with pesticides, fertilizers, growth regulators, and defoliants. This is not only harmful to workers in the growing regions but also to local residents. The surrounding waters and soils are also heavily polluted by pesticides, which can even seep into groundwater and drinking water. 
Working conditions in textile production are often highly questionable. Imagine getting in trouble every time you went to the toilet during your workday. That's the reality for workers in typical fast fashion factories. They're often not even allowed to use the toilet. For this reason, Cantana also ensures fair wages and stable employment contracts in the textile-producing countries to combat exploitation and inhumane working conditions for farmers, workers, and child labor.
Since its founding in 2008, Cantana has specialized in printing fair trade and/or organic textiles. They now offer a huge selection of fair trade and organic textiles, including T-shirts , polo shirts, sweatshirts , bags, gym bags , and accessories. Cantana can print or embroider these items according to your wishes. Printing takes place locally in Germany. A special service for those wanting to start their own fashion label is label printing: a great way to have your logo printed on the collar or neck of the garment.
What we liked best, however, was our contact with Cantana. All our questions were always answered quickly and kindly. Whenever we had doubts about the sizes, we received thorough advice until we had no further questions.
We're thrilled with our new T-shirts and sweatshirts and delighted about the collaboration with Cantana. A huge thank you to Cantana!
And if you'd also like a cool SIRPLUS T-shirt, you can order them online from us here in various sizes.
