LIFT THE LID ON PERMASET INKS ECO CREDENTIALS
PERMASET Inks are working towards a cleaner environment
Our inks do not contain ozone-depleting chemicals such as CFCs, HCFCs, aromatic hydrocarbons or volatile solvents. They are also free of lead, heavy metals and toxic chemicals.
Our PERMATONE range of textile inks passed the Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 Class 1 and is safe to use on underwear, swimwear and even baby clothes (infants under 2 years).
PERMATONE has been granted Approval by the Soil Association in the UK, having successfully met the requirements of the Global Organic Textiles Standards (GOTS) for non-organic chemical inputs for use in organic textile processing.
Our inks are kind to animals and GMO free
PERMASET Inks are vegan. Our ingredients are not sourced from animals and our inks are not tested on animals. Ingredients that are sourced from plants are certified GMO free.
PERMASET Inks are made using sustainable practices
We strive to tread lightly on the earth by recycling our paper, water and metal waste....
100% of our electricity comes from renewable sources.
Our solar array generates 2x as much energy as we use to power our own processes. It is enough to power 20 homes and save over 150 tons of green house gases per year.
