Eco-Friendly & Ethical Style
Committed to sustainability and social responsibility throughout the whole supply chain
Made to Order
Each item is made just for you. No textile waste from leftover stock.
Sustainable Production
Made with care for the planet.
Did you know that each item from Sunny Get Up is made just for you? Literally. We only create the product when we receive your order for it, avoiding textile waste. In traditional made-to-sell retail stores, products are made in large quantities and often exceed market demand. Around 85% of all textiles produced by the fashion industry end up in landfills, making it a major contributor to environmental damage. But with Sunny Get Up, each item is printed only when ordered, so there is no waste from bulk or left-over stock ending up in a landfill. Even damaged products are donated to charitable organizations, not thrown into a landfill. Leave mass-produced clothing behind and buy your unique joyful activewear from Sunny Get Up!
Leggings, Capris & Sports Bras: Sunny Get Up leggings, capris and sports bras are individually printed, cut, and hand-sewn by an in-house team. Our printing/fulfillment partner is committed to sustainable production:
The print-on-demand made-to-order production approach is critical in reducing waste.
The printing process also uses water-based pigment ink which reduces environmental waste.
Most of the printers they use in production are energy-efficient: they use less electricity, water, and chemicals than standard industry printers. The main printing method they use is DTG (direct-to-garment), a more sustainable choice over other apparel printing methods, like screen printing.
All facilities have implemented corporate responsibility initiatives, like LED lighting and recycling programs for paper, plastic and glass.
All ink waste is disposed of to meet environmental regulations.
Damaged and returned products are donated to local charities.
Tank Tops: Sunny Get Up tank tops are manufactured by BELLA+CANVAS and printed by our printing/fulfillment partner. BELLA+CANVAS manufacturing is lawful, ethical, and safe to the workers and environment - they are a green company through and through, and have a Platinum WRAP Certification. Their eco-friendly manufacturing process emphasizes water reduction, energy reduction, and is virtually zero waste.
WATER REDUCTION: By using newer, more efficient dye machines, they use 7x less water than the average for clothing manufacturers, saving 24 million gallons a week. Any water they do use goes through a filtration system that allows it to be recycled.
ENERGY REDUCTION: They make every effort to reduce their co2 emissions. They use solar energy to power their sewing and cutting facilities, motion-sensor LED lighting and skylights throughout each building, and electric car charging stations to encourage employees to go green.
VIRTUALLY ZERO WASTE: Their manufacturing facilities and LA Headquarters produce almost no landfill because they recycle pretty much everything that can't be turned into a tee. They've optimized cutting to reduce plastic use, and excess fabric is recycled into a number of things like baby bibs or stuffing for upholstery. Let nothing go to waste!
Shipping: Our printing/fulfillment partner also handles shipping, and they are working on improving their packaging and reducing the amount of produced waste — from February 2020, they've saved more than 6 US tons (5,621 kg) of plastic. They are also looking into new ways to reduce the CO2 produced when transporting orders. To reduce carbon emissions, they've opened fulfillment centers in several different locations to be closer to the customers, to route orders where they can fulfill and ship them as fast as possible.

Our printing partner values and celebrates people for who they are and they are committed to creating a work environment that is safe and welcoming for people of all backgrounds.

Fulfillment centers are located in LA, Charlotte, Mexico, and Riga, and each team member enjoys paid time off, healthcare benefits, and a safe and friendly work environment.
To pledge their support to the Black Lives Matter movement, our printing partner committed to donating $20,000 to the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People).
Tank Tops: Sunny Get Up tank tops are manufactured by BELLA+CANVAS, a Platinum WRAP Certified company, and printed by our printing/fulfillment partner. BELLA+CANVAS is committed to maintaining and upholding responsible workplace and environmental standards. All US production and office facilities have received Platinum accreditation from WRAP. They only work with partners who share their values of a humane and safe workplace and are in the process of getting all of their international facilities WRAP certified as well. WRAP (Worldwide Responsible Accredited Production) is a globally recognized, independent 3rd party certifying body whose mission is to promote ethical, humane and lawful conditions and practices in all manufacturing facilities. Companies accepted into the WRAP organization go through an extensive application process in which manufacturing facilities, working environments, and worker's rights are inspected and approved by the WRAP association. WRAP certifications are awarded based upon both internationally and nationally accepted humane workplace standards, local laws, and ethical manufacturing regulations.
Principles of WRAP Certification include:
Human resources management
Health and safety standards
Environmental and eco-friendly practices
Legal compliance including import/export, customs compliance and security standards
Long-lasting quality
Comfortable, durable, and made to last.
These clothes are built to last - Anna personally tested these the leggings and capris for 2 years (regularly practicing and teaching yoga and hiking in them) before launching to make sure they held up to regular use and washing, so they won’t wear out quickly and end up in a landfill. Tank tops and sports bras are also very comfortable and high quality. Our printing partner also does durability, wash, and wear tests. Check out our Product Care guidelines to learn more about how best to care for your new favorite activewear items so that they continue to help the planet and live a long and active life.
“Yoga is at its most democratic when it awakens people to oneness—to the reality that as human beings we are divinely equalized with each other and interconnected with the world we inhabit, to the fact that, while no one else can gain enlightenment for us, nevertheless we are on this journey together.”
