QST Eco Commitment
As the leading global supplier to the apparel industry, QST makes it our corporate responsibility to continually research and develop environmentally-smart products. We know that sustainability is no longer just a trend, but a long-term commitment. By offering recycled and low-impact products, we’re one step closer to achieving a closed-loop, no-waste system for the fashion industry.
Still, the challenge is much larger than our single organization, and that is why we are asking our customers to become partners in sustainability.

BCI / Organic Cotton
Organic cotton requires 71% less water to produce than regular cotton. If just 10% of all cotton was grown organically, over 5 trillion gallons of water could be saved.
BCI certified pocketing lowers the impact of pesticide use on human and environmental health, while improving profitability for farmers.
