Eco-Material
We partner with textile companies that are committed to an ecological approach, holding significant certifications like STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX®, OCS, and affiliation with the Fair Wear Foundation.
Safer Inks
At the forefront of this sustainable revolution is the adoption of water-based inks. Celebrated for their minimal environmental impact, these inks lack the harmful PVCs found in plastisol, offering a greener alternative that doesn’t compromise on durability. – Garments printed with water-based inks boast an extended lifecycle, reducing the likelihood of premature disposal. Use of these inks represent not just our commitment, but a shared continuous journey forward, one without leaving an indelible mark on the planet. – Our vibrant designs’ come to life with eco-certified water-based inks, ensuring our products are free from harmful chemicals and are environmentally friendly.
Plastic pollution has escalated into one of the most daunting environmental crises of our time. Every year, millions of tons of plastic waste find their way into our oceans, threatening marine life, disrupting ecosystems, and even entering the human food chain. The stark reality of plastic items, such as straws and bags, suffocating our oceans, has catalyzed a global movement towards more sustainable practices. Amidst this environmental tumult, the role of recycled products has become a beacon of hope, promising a more sustainable future without compromising on our modern needs.
Environmental Impact
Recycling plays a pivotal role in mitigating plastic pollution. By repurposing post-consumer materials, we significantly reduce the need for virgin plastic production, which is both energy-intensive and pollutive. Recycled products, notably those derived from post-consumer plastics, offer a circular economy solution where materials are kept in use for as long as possible, extracting the maximum value during their lifecycle and then recovering and regenerating products and materials at the end of their service life. – This approach not only helps in decreasing the volume of waste that ends up in landfills and oceans but also lessens our carbon footprint by reducing greenhouse gas emissions associated with raw material extraction, processing, and transportation. Moreover, the recycling industry fosters innovation, creating green jobs, and contributing to economic growth all while protecting the environment.
Blis Surf’s Commitment
Understanding the gravity of plastic pollution and the transformative potential of recycling, Blis Surf has committed to pioneering sustainable practices within our operations. Our dedication materializes most tangibly in our approach to shipping: we exclusively use packaging made from 100% recycled materials, including post-consumer plastic from bottles and ocean waste. – Our journey begins with the collection and processing of discarded consumer plastics and ocean debris, transforming them into resilient and sustainable shipping materials. This not only provides a second life to plastics that once polluted our oceans but also showcases our commitment to minimal environmental impact across every facet of our business.
Furthermore, this initiative serves as an educative cornerstone, raising awareness among our customers about the importance of recycling and the tangible difference it makes. Every package we send is a testament to the possibilities of a circular economy, driving home the message that conscious choices can forge a path to a cleaner, healthier planet.

Our products and materials are OEKO-TEX® & Global Recycled Standard (GRS) sustainably certified.
Blis Surf remains committed to exploring and adopting eco-friendly printing practices. While we continue to chart our course through these promising alternatives, we’re inspired by the creative strides within our industry, striving toward a future where our environmental footprint is as vibrant and impactful as the products we create—minus the ecological cost. The journey towards sustainable practices is a collective endeavor, and with every step, we move closer to redefining our relationship with the environment.
