As aĀ person with diabetes type 1Ā myself, I regularly think about the waste we produce with our disposable supplies. These are much needed for us to surviveĀ but lead us into aĀ dead-end everyday š PlasticĀ test stripsĀ everywhere at home without even talking about the bulky pump supplies!
So, with that in mind, let me explain how this store operates and how we are reducing our ecological footprintĀ šĀ š±Ā
Ā Ā
Made one at a time and shipped responsibly. For a happy planet.Ā
WeĀ seek to be an eco-friendly store. Our products areĀ Printed on Demand (POD), we do not hold stock and items are printed just for you.Ā
That's the reason why you need to allow 8-12 working days for your purchase to arrive (5-7 days for manufacturing + shipping š). As we produce the majority of our products in the USA, expect them to arrive more quickly if you live there!
We know that longer turnaround times are frustrating, however,Ā that means that by you stocking up on cool diabetes awareness apparel, you're alsoĀ helping the environment.Ā How amazing is that?! Go you!
We love Amazon Prime, however,Ā let's create less wasteĀ with Print on Demand! š
Ā
Print on demand (POD) is part of theĀ sustainable green printingĀ movement. Itās eco friendly in and of itself, for it lets customers print exactly the amount they need, and no more. It, therefore, produces less waste.Ā
With 92 million tons of textiles going to waste in the fashion industry each year, a POD model is a game-changer šā»ļø

Sustainable productsAll Adult Tees and Tanks in our store come from Bella + CanvasĀ an eco-friendly clothing company š Bella+Canvas uses solar energy, limits water use, and recycles waste by-products to make sure their products can sport theĀ eco-friendlyĀ tag. We areĀ inĀ a constant search for new sustainable POD suppliers!
