SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT

At CCE, we are committed to responsible manufacturing practices that prioritize environmental stewardship, operational efficiency, and workforce well-being. As a U.S.-based textile printer and converter, we recognize our role in supporting more sustainable supply chains for our customers and partners.

Environmentally Responsible Printing Processes
CCE’s production is primarily based on rotary screen printing using water-based pigment systems, which represent approximately two-thirds of our output. Pigment printing is inherently more resource-efficient than traditional dyeing methods, as it does not require extensive post-wash processes, thereby reducing water and chemical consumption. Our pigment inks are sourced from established suppliers and are formulated for textile applications with a focus on compliance and performance. Where reactive dye processes are utilized, we actively manage water and chemical usage to maintain efficiency and consistency. Across all printing operations, we emphasize reuse of rotary screens and process optimization to reduce waste and improve throughput.

Water Management and Wastewater Treatment
Water stewardship is a key focus area for CCE. We actively monitor water usage on a monthly basis, tracking both intake and discharge to identify opportunities for conservation. All process wastewater is treated through our in-house system, including controlled holding and management prior to discharge into the municipal sewer system, in accordance with local requirements.

Domestic Supply Chain and Materials Sourcing
CCE prioritizes domestic sourcing to support transparency, reduce transportation impact, and strengthen U.S. manufacturing. Our primary fabric supplier, Hamrick Mills (South Carolina), provides a consistent, locally sourced textile base that aligns with these objectives.
