Meatspace Tees: Eco-Friendly Ink on Organic T-Shirts

October 13, 2008 · Print This Article

If you’re looking for some badass new t-shirts to add to your closet, Meatspace Tees has just what you need.  The new company is the project of our very own Shea Gunther, so naturally there’s a green angle.  Shea, a longtime eco-entrepreneur, combined his love of screenprinting with his green sensibilities to create awesome t-shirt designs like the one pictured above (which is my favorite for obvious reasons).

The details on Meatspace Tees’ green cred:

We only print on American Apparel’s 100% organic cotton shirts, made in downtown LA by well compensated workers with better healthcare than we have.

We one print with green ink- the Gen IV ink series from International Coatings does not contain PVC, Phthalates, Organo-Tin Compounds, AZO, Heavy Metals, PCP, APEO, Poly Chlorinated Biphenyls, or Pesticides. It blows my mind that regular (and cheaper) plastisol inks have all of those ingredients.

We buy wind credits to offset 100% of our energy use from our office and shop as well as from all our travel.

We include wind credits in the sale of every shirt to offset the emissions used in shipping it from us to you.

We use all natural citrus based cleaners and supplies in the shop. Our ink cleans up with just water, removing the need for nasty solvent cleaners used in standard plastisol printing.

Shea’s commute to the Meatspace Office: walking downstairs. Miles driven: 0.

We only have things shipped to our shop via Ground and we buy wind credits to offset the impact

We recycle like fiend

Tidal turbines turns us on.

Gotta love it when you can find t-shirts with slogans like ‘To the Blog Cave!’ AND they’re green.  Meatspace Tees is also home to the one and only sanctioned Nerdfighters t-shirt. Check out all the designs at MeatspaceTees.com!
