With the sportswear industry growing by leaps and bounds, environmental protection and responsibility are becoming the new standard for brands to stand out. More and more consumers are not only concerned about the comfort and functionality of fabrics, but also whether the manufacturing process behind them is sustainable and ethical.

When choosing a factory to work with, in addition to focusing on environmental labelling, we recommend that you do further screening in the following dimensions:
β Quality of fabrics and workmanship
Ensure that the factory has consistent quality in both fabric selection and garment production. High performance and high comfort are the basic discs to build a sports brand.
β Industry experience and specialisation
Prefer suppliers with experience in sportswear or functional apparel. Years of deep ploughing in the specialised field often means higher efficiency and less risk of stepping into the pits.
β Brand reputation and customer reviews
Checking out examples of brands they have served in the past and paying attention to third-party reviews and customer feedback can help you determine whether this is a partner worth working with in the long term.
β Whether they are truly sustainable
‘Eco-friendly’ shouldn't be just a marketing term. Look for certifications such as GOTS, GRS, OEKO-TEX, etc., as well as actual investment in sustainable processes.
β Service response and communication experience
From sampling to customisation to delivery, an efficient and transparent team that is willing to communicate can often save you a lot of time and effort.
Every sportswear brand has its own style and target market, and every manufacturer has its unique strengths and positioning. This list is just a starting point, and a true match will require you to consider your budget, product direction, and expected pace of development.
May you find an environmentally friendly, reliable and long-term partner on the road to sustainable fashion.
