The fast fashion industry is the second-largest user of water. Typically, a single cotton t-shirt requires over 700 gallons of water to produce (yikes), or what an average human consumes over 3 years. 

DPRSD sources clothing from several different companies, all of which use more sustainable methods to produce t-shirts, hoodies, shorts, etc. These companies utilize more efficient production methods to use 7 times less water than other manufacturers (saving 24 million gallons every week!). Some of DPRSD’s manufacturers have even implemented filtration systems to reduce water during the production process.

Unfortunately, numerous clothing manufacturers pay their workers WELL below a living wage. If you’ve ever wondered how some clothes can sell so cheap, it’s because the hands responsible for making them aren’t paid nearly enough!

All of the companies DPRSD sources from practice responsible and ethical hiring methods (no f*cking sweatshops). From Platinum WRAP certifications to products made in the US to employees being paid over the minimum wage, DPRSD’s manufacturers provide dope, high-quality products while treating their workers RIGHT.

The world produces 400 million tons of plastic every year, with 5 trillion plastic bags being used every day (yeah, you read that right).

DPRSD uses 100% compostable mailers made from plant-based materials. These mailers will break down in a commercial compost in 90 days (regular plastic mailers take 1,000 years). Oh, and the mailers are reusable. At DPRSD, we don’t use ink and toner to print our shipping labels. Instead, we create shipping labels using Advanced Thermal Direct technology, demanding no toner or ink!
