Producing Quality Garments with Corporate Responsibility
At Phusion, we strive for sustainability in everything we do, from sourcing materials, to printing, to shipping. This ethos underpins every aspect of our corporate responsibility efforts, including:
• Sustainability and product sourcing

In our pursuit of sustainability, we will never lapse in quality. We balance our corporate responsibility with strict quality control measures, meaning that we produce the best quality garments in the most sustainable way possible.

Commitment to the Environment
Without a healthy environment, there would be nobody to wear our garments. That's why we are committed to protecting the environment through our business practices.
As the core technology behind our operations, we decided our printers need to be environmentally responsible. To achieve this, we have our printers supplied by Kornit, the world's leading sustainable textile printing solution.
Energy Efficient
Kornit printers are designed to maximise energy efficiency. This keeps in step with all Australian and international energy standards for printers and garment makers.
Water Efficient
According to Kornit, the run off from industrial printing and textiles processes equals about 1,875,000 km³ each year. To put that into perspective, that output could fill up the entire Mediterranean Sea every two years.
Kornit printers utilise a 100% waterless printing process, without the need for pre-treatment, steaming, or washing. Aside from the water contained in the ink, there's no water used, whatsoever.
Low Polluting and Vegan Friendly
Kornit inks are entirely free from heavy metals and dangerous chemicals like formaldehyde and APE. This means that all of our freshly printed garments are completely non-toxic.
These inks are also harmless to the environment. Our garments will only ever feature completely biodegradable ink, free from toxins, and free from animal products, making them completely vegan friendly.
