About RYMARO

RYMARO Apparel was dreamed up in early 2003 by me, Ryan Crosby!  I set out to create a brand that mixes minimalist design with classic, comfortable apparel. There are tons of brands out there, but I wanted to bring to the table something fun yet refined, and affordable—something you could wear every day without compromise.

From day one, I made sustainability a priority. I chose a print-on-demand model to reduce waste and avoid overproduction, and we only use organic or recycled fabrics to make our clothing soft, durable, and better for the planet. Our prints use eco-friendly inks, and we’re constantly looking for new ways to make our process greener.

I hope you find something you love here. If you’ve got suggestions or feedback, hit me up anytime. Happy shopping! Read on below for a detailed overview of our sustainability efforts.

Sustainability at RYMARO

Sustainability is important to RYMARO. We’re getting greener every step of the way,
while still providing you with the quality products you deserve.

As we work with on-demand suppliers, we only produce items for which we get an order, avoiding textile waste from overproduction. Our printing partner’s high-quality printing tech creates almost no wastewaters and uses less energy than standard industry printers.

Information about Direct to Garment (DTG) Printing

Our tees, pullovers and hoodies are all printed with the direct-to-garment (DTG) technique, which is a printing method where ink is first sprayed directly onto the garment, and then it soaks into the fabric. It’s like printing on paper, but on clothing. We use Kornit printers that generate almost zero wastewater and use less energy than standard industry printers, which lowers our carbon footprint.

The inks we use for printing are Oeko-Tex™ certified, vegan, water-based, and free of harmful chemicals. RYMARO takes sustainability seriously, that’s why we take care to properly dispose of any left-over ink according to the ink supplier guidelines.

Information about embroidery

At RYMARO, we embroider our products with Oeko-Tex™ certified threads, meaning
they’re safe for both adult and children's clothing. Compared to printing, embroidery is generally more durable and produces less environmental waste.

Statement about production times

Each product you see in our catalog is made-on-demand, which means once you place the order, we start working to get it to you. It takes time for us to create and send out the product, but making each order on-demand allows us to avoid overproduction. This way we get to take care of you and the planet we all share.

Product Packaging

At RYMARO, all apparel products are packed in post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic
mailers. The amount of PCR in the packaging will differ depending on where your order gets printed, but it’s at least 50% for the outside (white or grey) poly mailer bags and at least 30% for the inside (clear) bags used in multi-item shipments.

PCR packaging is made from everyday items, like used plastic bags and bottles. This material protects your order just as well as regular plastic bags, however, choosing PCR over first-use plastics reduces the environmental impact plastic has on our planet.
