Sustainability in Lollapalooza Merchandise

Responsibly into a green future

Because we as a company are aware of our impact in the fight against the climate crisis, we have chosen a merch partner that produces sustainable merchandise.

No overproduction thanks to print-on-demand

Spreadshirt's business model is called "print-on-demand." Unlike traditional manufacturers, Spreadshirt only prints what customers have selected or designed themselves – and only when they order it. They also only produce the requested quantity – from single items to bulk orders. Since Spreadshirt was founded over 20 years ago, sustainable production and action have been part of the company's DNA. This not only benefits us and our planet, but also our customers, who return less than two percent of our products. This makes us an industry leader. And even the returns are given a second life through donations and recycling .

Investments in sustainable & ecological production

We regularly invest in modern, more environmentally friendly technologies and products. Most recently, we invested €10 million in upgrading to modern Kornit Atlas printers. Our standard digital direct printing method uses sustainable inks, vegan color pigments, and a particularly water- and energy-efficient printing process. Since 2019, we have completely eliminated paper from our production processes when processing orders—saving the equivalent of 767 trees per year.

Durable products & prints

Products made from high-quality fabrics and materials are particularly durable—and therefore particularly sustainable. Every product undergoes extensive testing before being added to our range. We verify the durability of fabrics and prints through a series of test prints and various wash cycles. After printing, we test for possible chemical residues, color brilliance of the print, and precise workmanship. Even for products that have been in our range for a while, we regularly check for customer feedback to ensure consistent product quality.
