Cheers to Sustainability: Black Isle Brewery's Circular Merchandise

We wanted to offer our customers more than just great beer. That's why we're showcasing our partnership with Teemill, an organic, wind-powered UK-based apparel supplier. Together, we've created a line of merchandise that not only looks good but also aligns with Black Isle Brewery's commitment to sustainability.

Did you know that every second, a bin lorry's worth of textile waste ends up in landfills or gets burned? The clothing industry is the second biggest contributor to global waste and that's why it is important to us that our merch doesn't add to this problem. We needed a sustainable solution that is compatible our values.

That's where Teemill comes in. They're leaders in the circular economy for fashion, using renewable energy and high-quality organic cotton to create products that are both stylish and eco-friendly.

Their durable materials and long-lasting prints mean that your Black Isle merchandise will last for years. Plus, each item has a QR code on the wash-care label, showing you how to send it back once it's worn out, so it can be turned into new products. This keeps materials in circulation and eliminates waste.

With this partnership, we have our hoodies made with eco-friendly materials and processes. The environmental savings are impressive...so far we have saved:

• 2,295,631 litres of water - that's the daily usage of over 30,000 people.

• 627 kg of CO2 - which is like the amount absorbed by 28 trees in a year.

• 152 kg of plastic - about 7,600 plastic bottles' worth.

We love that our customers can proudly show-off their support for Black Isle Brewery, knowing their clothes purchases make a difference.

All of our merchandise available to buy in the Black Isle Brewery online store.
