The foreign clothing industry is a significant contributor to environmental pollutants, including massive pre-consumer waste, excessive water usage and carbon emissions. Foreign production often lacks any form of environmental regulation, resulting in harmful effects on air and water quality. Not to mention, international shipping stands as the second-largest contributor to global carbon pollution.

In contrast, US manufacturing prioritizes sustainability through stringent regulations and eco-conscious practices. Through domestic production, we have direct control on waste management. American Lineage rejects the allure of foreign manufacturing. This is the only way to mitigate the environmental effects of the apparel industry.
