SUSTAINABILITY

Sustainability & Ethical Production

At BEL.IEVE, we deeply prioritize sustainability. That’s why our organic T‑shirts are made from 100% GOTS‑certified organic cotton, and many of our sweatshirts combine 85% organic cotton with 15% recycled polyester, or are crafted entirely from cotton  .

No GMOs are used in our materials. We avoid pesticides, fertilizers, and harmful chemicals, and use significantly less water during cultivation—up to 40% less than conventional cotton farming  .

Our recycled polyester is sourced from used PET bottles, processed into yarn with far lower energy use, helping combat plastic waste. This yarn is mostly produced in China and thoughtfully layered to avoid direct skin contact  .

Made-to-Order for Less Waste

Our garments aren’t mass produced—instead, they are printed or embroidered only after your order is placed, which significantly reduces overproduction and waste. This process means shipping usually takes 3–6 business days, but ensures a more sustainable approach  .

Fair Manufacturing Practices

We carefully partner with factories in Bangladesh that uphold ethical standards: guaranteed minimum wage, maternity leave, on-site childcare, health insurance, and more. Supporting production in Bangladesh helps maintain jobs and improves conditions within the local industry  .
