Second Thread is your trusted partner in achieving local green certification, embodying our shared commitment to a sustainable future.
To uphold the highest standards of transparency, accountability, and global best practices, we collaborate exclusively with partners who demonstrate a genuine and measurable commitment to environmental stewardship, ethical production, and social responsibility. Our partnerships are built on a shared ethos - one that values sustainability not just as a goal, but as a core principle of doing business.
At the heart of our sustainability efforts is BACK-2-BASE - a comprehensive take-back and resource recovery program designed to eliminate waste, extend material lifecycles, and ensure environmental accountability across every stage of our products’ lives.
We’ve made recycled polyester a core part of our fabric offering — not just because of what it’s made from but because of where it ends up. Through our Back-2-Base™ return system, all printed graphics and production waste are collected and diverted from landfills to be processed into second-life products, closing the loop on textile use.
As sustainability becomes central to design and manufacturing, the use of recycled aluminium is emerging as a critical material choice in the shift toward circular, low-impact construction and fabrication.
In the pursuit of more sustainable and eco-conscious manufacturing processes, dye-sublimation printing has emerged as one of the most environmentally responsible methods for printing on textiles. When compared to traditional textile printing methods, dye-sublimation stands out for its reduced environmental footprint, minimal waste, and durable results.
As global industries pivot toward sustainable design practices, LED technology stands at the forefront of eco-conscious innovation.
When used to package and freight products to site - whether displays, graphics, modular components, or architectural elements - cardboard-based packaging delivers a powerful combination of protection, sustainability, and circularity.
Transfer paper is a staple in modern printing processes, particularly within textile decoration, garment branding, promotional products, and custom graphics production. As demand grows for more sustainable production methods, the environmental profile of transfer paper—when sourced and used responsibly—offers meaningful benefits and opportunities to reduce ecological impact.
