SUSTAINABILITY

At PT King Trading, the fabrics we use are made from certified recycled materials, including salvaged fishing nets, plastic bottles and post-consumer waste. Sourced from established overseas mills, these materials can reduce carbon emissions by up to 80% compared to virgin fabrics and are GRS and U-Trust® certified. Despite being recycled, they remain soft, durable, UV 50+ protective, and resistant to saltwater and chlorine. Their use is supported by practical production choices such as biodegradable packaging, reduced-waste cutting methods and water purification systems, allowing brands to work with proven materials and reliable processes without compromising performance or quality.

A Responsible Workplace

We have over 250 long-term staff and run a tax-free facility for importing high-quality recycled fabrics. This status is only given to manufacturers who meet strict rules and ethics, and it saves us about 35% on fabric costs compared to normal import routes. Our team earns above local standards and gets full medical insurance, which covers spouses and up to three children, plus a hot meal every day. This setup helps us keep skilled staff and maintain quality, while also saving on import duty and VAT, which can lower fabric costs by about 35%.

Environmental Care

We pack all outgoing shipments in biodegradable zip-lock bags and use cutting methods that reduce waste and make the most of our fabrics. Our washing and printing processes use water purification systems. About 95% of our printing is done by overseas partners with modern digital and sublimation technology, using eco-friendly dyes from Huntsman Dyes in the US. We dye plain fabrics with Dystar dyes from Germany.

Community Support

We have supported Bali Street Mums for many years by making monthly donations to the foundation started by Kim Farr from New Zealand. The foundation gives mothers and children a safe place to live, three meals a day, clean clothes, healthcare, and helps children learn to read and write before they start school. Without this support, many families would still be searching rubbish dumps or begging on the streets at night, putting children at risk. If you want to help Kim’s work or talk to her, visit balistreetmums.org or contact her on WhatsApp.
