Ethical Sourcing & Sustainable Practices

Source Code Audit

We treat our supply chain like trusted software dependencies. We don't inspect the cotton fields personally, instead, we strictly integrate partners with verified, third-party security certificates.

PROTOCOL A: STANDARD CORE

Non-Negotiable Baseline

Every single product shipped meets these criteria:

Safety: OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 (Toxin Free)
Labor: WRAP or FLA Certified Facilities
Waste: Zero-Inventory (On-Demand)

PROTOCOL B: BIO-KERNEL

"Organic" Label Requirements

Items marked as Organic adhere to stricter specs:

Fiber: 100% GOTS Certified Organic Cotton
Purity: No GMOs, No Pesticides
Audit: Full seed-to-garment traceability

1. Manufacturing Dependencies

We do not own factories. We operate as an integrator, partnering with established manufacturers (Dependencies) who are already certified by independent auditors. We select them based on their documented compliance specs and performance stability.

Partner (Dependency)	Certifications	Technical Notes
Bella+Canvas	WRAP Platinum, FLA	Solar energy, US cutting facilities, Bluesign® dyes.
Stanley/Stella	GOTS, Fair Wear Leader	European leader in organic textiles. High-spec finish.
Next Level	WRAP, FLA	100% US-grown cotton options. Better Work Program.
SOL'S	Fair Wear, OEKO-TEX	Higg Index transparency member. Robust construction.

2. The "Zero-Waste" Algorithm

JIT (Just-In-Time) vs. Legacy Retail

Legacy Bug: Brands produce thousands of units on speculation. Unsold stock (Dead Code) is burned or landfilled.

grabNade Fix: Your gear is compiled only when you execute the order. Zero inventory. Minimal waste. Maximum efficiency.

3. Packaging Efficiency

Thesis: Pretty packaging is bloatware.

Luxury unboxing experiences are single-use trash. We refuse to participate.

The Shell: PCR (Post-Consumer Recycled) plastic mailers.
Why Plastic? Lighter than cardboard (lower shipping latency/carbon), waterproof, durability.
The Result: You pay for the hardware (the shirt), not the box.
