ABOUT THE MOUNTAIN® COMPANY
From the earliest days, The Mountain® has worked to be a responsible corporate citizen. With a Green Philosophy, everyday The Mountain® strives to run and produce products in a way that protects the environment, gives value to all customers and support to their employees. Long before it was the "in" thing to do, the founders of The Mountain® have been taking the kind of steps that make a real difference.
• More than 80% of the cotton in the shirts is grown in the USA.
• Use Organic Reactive Dyes to create their dye library of over 600 colors.
• Use envionmentally-friendly waterbase inks to create the amazing soft feel to the prints (99.5% of other T-Shirt printers use petroleum based ink to create their designs on apparel giving them that hard, plastic "shield" feel).
• Shirts are 100% preshrunk cotton (even the thread that holds it together is cotton). If washed according to the label instructions, in cold water, not only will your shirt stay at the same size as when you purchased it, but also the print will remain vibrant for years to come.
• Has Oeko-Tex 100 Certification (one of the highest certification worldwide) which guarantees The Mountain® shirts are free of chemicals harmful to your body.
• Has a commitment to the environment that is part of The Mountain's Collective Consciousness. The Mountain® believes that Fair Trade starts at home by taking good care of their employees and their families.
While many printers are trying to kick the chemical habit and learn how to use waterbased inks, The Mountain® ais light years ahead of them. They are literally pioneers of using waterbased ink and have perfected it’s use to create photo-realist imagery that is not attainable by other screen printers. Being “green” to The Mountain® means being mindful of your choices which have a direct impact on the environment and future generations.
For many years, The Mountain® has used full-spectrum lighting throughout its facility to reduce usage of energy. The Mountain® is committed to delivering the highest value to their customers by making the best products available using the most responsible technologies.
