Sustainability & Quality

The world is unique and delicate and we would be wise to always keep that in mind.

Planet Earth

The strive to do better is a constant. Not a local constant, it is a global constant variable. Sustainability matters to our customers, ourselves, and most importantly OUR planet. Furthermore, High Quality Arts understands the global current mission on reducing emissions and fashion is only one aspect at the forefront of carbon emission. Sustainability in the fashion industry is no quick fix. In increments, HQA puts forth efforts to take responsible sustainability actions.

Made To Order

To do our incremental part in the attempt to reduce emission and help nurture planet earth HQA has adopted a made to order infrastructure for the merchandise we choose to offer. Keeping in mind that every order or purchase, large or small, contains a footprint. Based on an article from INSIDER 85% of all textiles end up in the landfills each year. Along with all the microplastic that gets sent into the ocean by simply washing clothes. Thus, making it a major contributing factor to the current status revolving around the planet. Based on another article from FASHION ON CLIMATE  we will miss the target reduction goal of 50% by 2030 if the industry continues at the current rates. As well as 1 in 5 garments reach the landfill without being worn one time. By choosing the print-on-demand services our partner offers HQA your orders are created only as the order is places with the ultimate goal of creating less fabric waste then the conventional manufacturing.

Packaging Waste

Typically the first thing that occurs once a brand new purchase arrives at our door-steps is to pop it open as fast as possible and throw away the packaging. As of May 2021, we’ve started integrating a different packing structure to replace tubes with plastic caps by using triangle shaped boxed reducing down the overall packaging to one piece. In addition  we’ve started using packaging made of post-consumer recycled plastics for all apparel orders shipped from in-house facilities. Furthermore to put forth effort in reducing waste, a new product has been added to our inventory-Scrunchies. Small enough to be created from fabric scraps that would have otherwise gone to waste. Damaged and returned products get donated to local charities, like Red Cross, American Kidney Fund, and Goodwill.
