Stitching a Greener Future at ETC

Stitching a Greener Future at ETC

Adrianne Sedgmore |

At ETC Supplies, we have made it our ongoing commitment to reduce environmental impact and support a more sustainable textile industry. We’re proud to introduce meaningful changes that allow both us and our customers to make a real difference.

We recognise the impact materials, production, and supply chains can have on the planet, which is why we’re focused on making smarter, more conscious choices without compromising on quality. Our goal is simple: to give our customers the tools to create exceptional work while contributing to a more sustainable future.

Every stitch, every order, and every product choice is an opportunity to do better. And with ETC Supplies, those small, everyday decisions start to add up to something far more powerful.

Every Order Plants a Tree

We’ve partnered with Tree-Nation to ensure that every order placed with ETC Supplies contributes directly to global reforestation efforts. That means every time you place an order, you’re not just stocking up on essential embroidery supplies, you’re actively helping to restore ecosystems, absorb carbon, and support biodiversity.

This initiative puts the power of positive change in your hands. Your everyday purchasing decisions now carry even greater impact, turning routine orders into a force for environmental good. Together, we’re building something bigger than business, we’re helping grow a greener planet.

Sustainable Products Without Compromise

We are proud to supply ISACORD 100% recycled embroidery thread, a product that combines sustainability with the premium performance professionals expect.

Manufactured from 100% recycled polyester, ISACORD delivers exceptional tensile strength, outstanding colour consistency, and a refined sheen that enhances every stitched design. It proves that choosing environmentally responsible materials doesn’t mean sacrificing quality. Whether you’re producing intricate designs or high-volume runs, ISACORD ensures reliable, professional results every time.

Additionally we’ve recently launched a 100% recyclable embroidery backing, designed to break down naturally while still providing the stability and support your embroidery demands. 

We also supply our most talked about, Generation 2 Ultrasoft Backing, the softest and most advanced tear away embroidery stabiliser that is 100% compostable, making it an ideal choice where both comfort, stability, and sustainability are essential.
