The Vollebak Wooden T-Shirt is a decidedly sustainable alternative to a classic fashion staple that was developed over the source of 20 years to get just right. The shirt is crafted with a carbon-negative pigment created using wood waste sourced from the paper, lumber and flooring industries with a closed-loop system in mind to ensure it's safe for the environment. The pigment is used to dye the stretch fabric to achieve the perfect level of darkness, while still enabling it to be 100% compostable thanks to the wood-made form of the material.
The Vollebak Wooden T-Shirt is comfortable, soft and casual, and will begin to biodegrade after a few months once it has reached end of life. Priced at $125, the shirt is available now.
