From Trash to Tee Shirts- The journey of EcoEvie clothing

We believe in using what we have instead of creating from new.  The earth's resources are limited, and in order to truly help the earth we need to find new ways to use what already exists.  

Eco Evie exclusively uses REPREVE® post consumer recycled content in all our garments.  REPREVE® recycles post consumer plastic into something new. Compared to making what's called virgin fiber, REPREVE® offsets using new petroleum (what polyester is made of), emitting fewer greenhouse gases and conserving water and energy in the process. That makes a big difference for our future.

At Eco Evie Apparel, we are dedicated to using only 100% REPREVE® recycled content, and not blending it with anything else.  By keeping the content of our apparel as a singular source, we hope to be able to recycle the clothing again when it has met its end of use.  

We also believe that in order to truly do better in the retail world, we need to have a super tight supply chain.  Our fabric is created at a facility less than 200 miles from where the recycling is done, all in North Carolina.  The fabric is shipped to Milwaukee, WI, where all the rest of the manufacturing takes place. 

Our manufacturing process utilizes dye sublimation, a virtually waterless dye process.  Our original, endangered animal-inspired designs are printed on paper (that is recycled!) and heat pressed with our fabric, creating the vibrant colors on all our shirts.  Small batch manufacturing close to home allows us to make what we need when we need it, and nothing more.
