About Tentree
At tentree, as environmentalists our mission is to guide you on your journey and empower you to do your best when it comes to the environment. You don't have to be a hardcore environmentalist to make a difference. It's the little things, like riding your bike to work, bringing your own grocery bag, and buying an item that plants ten trees - they all add up. Especially when millions of other people start doing them too. For every item purchased we plant ten trees, in an effort to regenerate ecosystems, capture carbon and provide planting jobs in communities around the world. All our products are created with an Earth-First approach, meaning they’re made in fair, safe working conditions, and constructed using only sustainably sourced and recycled materials.
Technology
A ridiculously soft and oh-so-stretchy blend of recycled polyester, organic cotton, and TENCEL™ - TreeBlend is the planet’s number one fan. Our organic cotton is made sustainably and responsibly, so the planet feels just as good as you do while wearing it and our recycled polyester takes discarded plastic bottles from landfills and gives them new life in your wardrobe. Our TreeBlend products cuts down on waste, water usage and carbon emissions all while keeping you comfy.
History
Ten years ago, three friends had the desire and ambition to make the world a greener place. They imagined creating a business that would give to the earth more than it took, and empower people to make a difference in the world. Fast forward to now, and what started as just an idea has grown into the company you know today as tentree — a one-of-a-kind, Earth-First brand leading the charge in sustainable fashion and making an impact every day through planting trees. From screen printing t-shirts to making our own from recycled and organic materials, we’ve come a long way since our community helped us plant that first tree ten years ago. But all we’ve done since then wouldn’t be possible if it hadn’t started with one key ingredient: you. In the last ten years you’ve helped us:
· Plant approximately 70 million trees
· Create roughly 4.5 million hours of work in our planting communities
· Restore around 14,600 ha of forest
· Sequester nearly 6.7 million tons of carbon dioxide
Sustainability
The apparel industry creates a lot of waste —10.5 million tonnes per year, to be exact. We're helping divert some of it from landfills, while conserving water and important resources, too. By planting ten trees for every item purchased, we prove to the world that sustainability can and should be as easy as putting on a t-shirt. Trees have the power to rehabilitate ecosystems, lift entire communities out of poverty, and capture excessive CO2 from the atmosphere. So let's get planting.
Care & Repair
At tentree, we believe the only way to go is around, which is why our Full Circle Design process considers a product's impact at every stage of its life cycle. We assess each input, evaluating where it comes from, how it's being transformed, and if there's a more sustainable alternative. With a focus on innovation, we partner with leaders in sustainable technologies to bring you the greenest product in the world. But our commitment doesn't end once the product leaves our factories. We make sure that our packaging, transportation and storage solutions have the smallest possible footprint, and that once you're done loving our product, it can either be recycled or return to earth. This is how we make our industry more circular.
