As 80% of Consumers Say They Will Pay More for Sustainable Goods, Arklavo Offers No-Minimum Custom Sustainable Apparel

Arklavo, a US-based custom branded apparel company, now offers no-minimum custom sustainable apparel to businesses, at a time when 80% of consumers say they will pay more for sustainable products.

WILMINGTON, Del., July 28, 2026. Arklavo, a United States custom branded apparel company, is making no-minimum custom sustainable apparel available to businesses that want eco-friendly branded clothing without bulk order minimums. The move comes as consumer demand for sustainability reaches new highs. In PwC's 2024 Voice of the Consumer Survey of more than 20,000 people across 31 countries, 80% said they are willing to pay more for sustainably produced or sourced goods, at an average premium of 9.7%.

"Sustainability used to be a big-company privilege," said Conor Smart, Managing Director of Arklavo. "A small team wanting recycled or organic branded shirts was told to order hundreds or pay a premium. We think any business, at any size, should be able to put its logo on responsible apparel."

Why Sustainable Apparel Is Growing

Consumers increasingly reward visible sustainability. In the same PwC survey, the practices that most influence what people buy are tangible ones, led by waste reduction and recycling, which 40% of consumers named. For a business, branded apparel is one of the most visible expressions of its values. A recycled or organic staff uniform signals a company's commitment to customers and employees alike.

Recycled polyester, organic cotton and plant-based fibres such as Tencel and bamboo lead the sustainable category. Until recently, small and mid-sized buyers were priced out of these fabrics by high order minimums, leaving the most visible way to show their values out of reach.

"Your brand on a garment tells people what you stand for," Smart said. "If a company cares about its footprint, its apparel should say so, not just its website."

No-Minimum, Made Accessible

Arklavo accepts orders of a single piece or several thousand, with production measured in days. A business can order a handful of organic-cotton polos for its front desk today and add more as it grows. Orders ship in two days, and shipping is free on orders over $150. There are no bulk-only price tiers, so a first-time buyer and an established brand order on the same terms.

The company's custom sustainable apparel spans tees, polos, hoodies and more, decorated with embroidery or print, for businesses across corporate, hospitality, healthcare, education and retail, in the United States and internationally.

"We are a leading name in custom branded apparel because we build for every business, not only the ones that can buy in bulk," Smart said. "Making sustainable options no-minimum is the same idea, applied to something that matters."
