The Wooden T Shirt is not the first time we’ve turned to nature to make our clothing. Having already worked with algae, nettles, blueberries, turnips and raw hemp, wood was always going to be on our list. Each t shirt is printed with the cleanest black pigment on Earth made from wood waste – a carbon negative ink that’s been in R&D for 20 years and is now safe enough to be buried in a vegetable garden.

The t shirt isn’t just printed with wood, it’s made from it too. We’ve combined eucalyptus wood pulp sourced from sustainably managed forests with seaweed from Iceland’s North Atlantic Fjords. Naturally the Wooden T Shirt doesn’t feel wooden to wear. It’s soft and comfortable, with a great weight, and wears just like a regular t shirt.

The first t shirt built with wood, and printed with wood

The Wooden T Shirt is made from eucalyptus wood pulp sourced from sustainably managed forests, and printed with wood ink made from waste wood – even down to the labels.

No trees are burned or cut down to make the ink

The ink is produced through a closed loop, circular system of manufacturing that doesn’t harm the environment. No wood is burned in the process, so there’s no non-renewable emissions involved. Instead, the heat and biogas generated from the manufacturing process is used as a power source.

Turning wood into ink took 20 years of R&D

Established using a grant from the US National Science Foundation, our friends in California spent 20 years in R&D to get to the point where they can make a scalable carbon negative product that’s “safe enough to be buried in a vegetable garden,” in their words.

The Wooden T Shirt that doesn’t feel wooden

While the t shirt is highly technical to create, you wouldn’t know it just by putting it on. It’s a soft, comfortable t shirt with a great weight, that wears just like a regular t shirt.
