How We Keep It Sustainable: Our Promise at Myco Threads

At Myco Threads, sustainability isn’t a buzzword—it’s the backbone of everything we do. We’re proud to be a small, San Diego-based brand that’s serious about keeping our environmental impact as low as possible, from the materials we choose to how your gear gets to your doorstep.

Certified Clean

Every piece of Myco Threads apparel is made from 100% organic cotton or other responsibly sourced materials. But we don’t stop there. All of our products meet the following global standards:

  • GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard)
  • GRS (Global Recycled Standard)
  • OCS (Organic Content Standard)
  • OEKO-TEX Standard 100
  • PETA-Approved Vegan

These certifications aren’t just labels—they’re proof that what we make (and what you wear) is better for the planet, for garment workers, and for you. No harsh chemicals, no sketchy labor practices, and no compromises.

Made to Order = No Waste

We don’t believe in overproduction. Every Myco Threads item is made to order, which means we only create what’s needed—nothing more, nothing less. This drastically cuts down on excess stock and landfill waste while ensuring that every piece you buy is made just for you.

Cleaning Up After Ourselves

We know ecommerce has a footprint. Shipping orders around the country (and beyond) leaves a carbon trail, and we take responsibility for that. That’s why we’ve partnered with forward-thinking carbon removal companies to offset the emissions of every order.

Here’s the deal:

  • For every order placed, we calculate the estimated carbon emissions created by shipping.
  • A portion of each sale goes directly to vetted carbon removal projects, backed by scientists at Carbon Direct.
  • These companies remove the same amount of carbon our shipments create—and any extra funds help advance the future of carbon removal technology.

So far, the collective impact of businesses like ours has removed thousands of tons of carbon from the atmosphere and made over 10 million orders carbon-neutral.

Who’s Making a Difference?

A few of the innovative companies we support include:

  • Heirloom – Uses natural minerals to pull CO₂ from the air.
  • Charm Industrial – Converts waste biomass into carbon-rich bio-oil and stores it underground.
  • Running Tide – Deploys kelp and other ocean-based solutions to capture and store carbon at scale.

We’re proud to be part of a growing community of brands proving that small businesses can have a big impact.


The Bottom Line

When you shop with Myco Threads, you’re not just getting clothing built for adventure—you’re investing in a cleaner, more responsible future. Whether you’re hiking a local San Diego trail or camping under the stars, you can feel good knowing your gear was made with care for both people and planet.

We’re in this for the long haul. Thanks for being part of the trip.
