From PVC to PFAS, we are facing an increasingly complex regulatory culture. From missed sales to social media and PR embarassment, the cost of non-compliance can be high. Whether you have an RSL list already or need guidance, Black Thread Creative can help to source the right materials while keeping costs under control and reliability high.

Measuring your Corporate Carbon Footprint? That’s a great first step. Have a reduction goal? Even Better. Generally in the textile industry, the manufacturing of the goods we purchase and the transportation of those goods account for the largest portion of our carbon footprint. Black Thread Creative can help to you understand how the choices we make as product stakeholders directly affect our carbon footprint.

The Cradle to Cradle Product Innovation Institute refers to the Circular Economy as a “revolutionary shift in the way way we make things, where every resource that goes in can be reused in infinite cycles, just like it happens in nature.” Product Circularity is part of this, and works on a number of levels. From designing for longevity or utilizing recycled materials, there are multiple ways a product can engage in the circular economy, thus reducing resource consumption and waste. Black Thread Creative has worked at the leading edge of textile product circularity for the last 4 years- building supply chains and circular product systems. If product circularity is your goal, Black Thread Creative can bring you up to speed quickly with the latest technology in the textile industry.
