Sustainability

Polvich features select garments crafted using materials and processes designed to be gentler on the planet. To qualify under our sustainability standards, a product must be made using a minimum of 70% organic materials, recycled materials, or a combination of both.

​

This threshold allows us to maintain high aesthetic and durability standards while meaningfully reducing environmental strain.

We collaborate only with trusted manufacturing partners who provide verified documentation for material origin and composition. All sustainability claims are supported by recognized third-party certifications, ensuring accuracy and accountability.

​

Certified Organic Materials:

Organic fibers used in Polvich apparel are certified under globally accepted standards such as:

​

• Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS)

• Organic Content Standard (OCS)

​

Certified Recycled Materials:

Recycled fibers are validated through internationally recognized certifications including:

​

• Global Recycled Standard (GRS)

• Recycled Claim Standard (RCS)

​

These certifications ensure materials are responsibly sourced, processed, and traced across the supply chain.

Traditional fashion production often leads to excess inventory and waste. Polvich operates on a made-to-order production approach, meaning each item is created only after an order is placed.

​

This model allows us to:

​

• Avoid overproduction

• Eliminate unsold inventory

• Reduce textile waste

• Lower the environmental impact associated with mass manufacturing

​

By producing intentionally rather than in bulk, we support a more responsible fashion ecosystem without compromising design integrity.

Polvich offers a dedicated selection of garments made with organic or recycled fibers, chosen for their durability, comfort, and environmental performance. These products adhere to strict third-party certification standards and are produced using methods that prioritize:

​

• Reduced water usage

• Energy-efficient equipment

• Responsible material handling

We ensure that materials used during customization meet high safety and environmental standards. This includes:

​

• Certified inks used for direct-to-garment and sublimation printing

• Certified embroidery threads used for stitched designs

​

These materials are selected for their low impact, durability, and safety for everyday wear.

We work with a carefully curated network of manufacturing partners chosen not only for quality, but also for ethical alignment. All suppliers are required to comply with our Supplier Code of Conduct, which sets clear expectations around:

​

• Ethical labor practices

• Workplace safety

• Environmental responsibility

• Transparency and traceability

​

We maintain visibility into where and how our products are made, ensuring materials are sourced responsibly and production conditions meet our standards.

​

Products are monitored to ensure they are free from harmful substances and produced under lawful, ethical working conditions.

Some Polvich garments and materials carry OEKO-TEX® certification, one of the most respected international standards for textile safety.

​

This certification confirms that:

​

• Products are tested for harmful substances

• Materials are safe for direct skin contact

• International safety thresholds are met

​

Even when a finished product is not fully certified, OEKO-TEX® certified components—such as inks or embroidery threads — may be used during production.

The majority of Polvich garments are produced without animal-derived materials. Certain products within our eco-focused selection are additionally certified as PETA-Approved Vegan, where stated clearly on the product page.

Polvich expects all partners to uphold fundamental human rights and fair labor principles. Our supply chain standards require:

​

• Full compliance with local and international labor laws

• Zero tolerance for forced labor, child labor, or unsafe employment practices

• Ethical treatment of all workers involved in production

​

Supplier accountability is continuously strengthened through audits, documentation review, and ongoing evaluation.

We continuously work to reduce the environmental impact of delivery.

​

Regional Fulfillment

​

Whenever possible, orders are fulfilled from locations closest to the customer, helping to:

• Reduce transportation emissions

• Improve delivery efficiency

• Lower the overall carbon footprint

​

Thoughtful Packaging

​

When feasible, items are shipped together to minimize packaging waste and unnecessary materials.

​

We remain committed to refining our logistics practices in ways that support environmental responsibility without compromising reliability.

Sustainability at Polvich is an evolving responsibility. We continuously assess our materials, partners, and processes to identify opportunities for improvement — quietly, deliberately, and with long-term impact in mind.
