Nature's Call, Answered

In our effort to relaunch A16 using all natural fabrics and finishes, we looked at not only the fabric blanks, but the inks. Most screen printing utilizes Plastisol, a stiff, PVC-based synthetic ink that sticks to you and sticks around the planet.  Plastic chemicals aren't that comfortable, and aren't what nature-lovers want to wear.  So we partnered with Print Natural to source black pigment using BioForceTech—a revolutionary carbon-sequestering process that turns industrial biowaste into usable ink.  The fabric uses 100% BCI-Certified Cotton and OEKO-TEX certified factories. 

Take only memories. Leave only footprints. Keep it Wild. That's the A16 approach. This shirt means it. Synthetic-free. Natural fiber to natural finish.
