Sustainable & Eco-Friendly Apparel in Reno

Ethical Sourcing. Carbon-Neutral Impact. Premium Performance.

In a city defined by its proximity to the Sierras and a culture of outdoor stewardship, your brand’s environmental footprint matters. Maverick Printing provides a curated collection of sustainable apparel in Reno, allowing companies to align their physical brand execution with their corporate values.

As a specialized spoke of our custom apparel Reno hub, we provide high-fidelity decoration on garments engineered from recycled materials, organic fibers, and fair-trade supply chains. By leveraging our local SanMar and S&S Activewear partnerships, we ensure your “green” initiative is supported by a fast, efficient, and vetted corporate supply chain.

The “Earth-First” Collection

We provide immediate access to the industry’s most respected sustainable brands, proving that “Eco-Friendly” can also mean “High-Performance.”

1. Recycled Performance Fabrics

Perfect for active teams and outdoor events, these garments turn plastic waste into professional-grade apparel.

  • Allmade®: Founded on the principle of “putting people and planet first.” Their tri-blends are made from organic cotton, Tencel™ Modal, and recycled polyester (each shirt saves roughly 6 plastic bottles from the landfill).

  • District® Re-Tee: A 100% recycled fabric—never re-dyed—which saves incredible amounts of water and energy during production.

2. Premium Organic & Carbon-Neutral Brands

For brands that want the softest hand-feel with the lowest environmental impact.

  • Alternative® Apparel: The leader in “soft-impact” fashion. Ideal for Midtown startups and boutique brands looking for a retail-ready, eco-conscious aesthetic.

  • The North Face® & Patagonia (Sourced locally): Many of our premium outerwear partners have transitioned to recycled shells and ethically sourced down, allowing your custom outerwear to remain environmentally responsible.

3. Sustainable Workwear

  • Threadfast Apparel: Utilizing “Ultimate Tee” technology with sustainably sourced cotton and recycled polyester, providing a durable solution for the eco-conscious logistics and construction workforce.

Eco-Conscious Decoration Standards

Sourcing a sustainable shirt is only half the battle. Maverick Printing ensures the decoration process respects the garment’s integrity.

  • Water-Based Ink Systems: For our screen-printed t-shirts, we offer high-end water-based inks that penetrate the fabric rather than sitting on top. This results in a “zero-feel” print that is more environmentally friendly than traditional plastisol.

  • High-Efficiency DTF: Our Direct-to-Film technology reduces waste by using precision ink application and recyclable carrier films.

  • Thread Ethics: We source high-quality embroidery threads that meet global Oeko-Tex® standards, ensuring no harmful substances are used in your brand’s stitching.

Frequently Asked Questions (Sustainable Apparel)

Is sustainable apparel as durable as traditional fabrics? In many cases, it’s more durable. Recycled polyester (rPET) fibers are incredibly resilient, and organic cotton often features longer staples that resist pilling and shrinking better than “bargain-bin” traditional cotton.

Does eco-friendly apparel cost significantly more? While there is a slight premium for organic and fair-trade certifications, the gap has closed significantly. We offer a range of “Tiered Eco-Options” to ensure you can meet your sustainability goals within your project’s budget.

Can I get samples of the recycled fabrics? Absolutely. Because these fabrics have a unique “hand-feel,” we highly recommend our Sample Evaluation process to ensure the texture meets your expectations.
