Wilmington, Delaware Dec 3, 2025 (Issuewire.com) - Printify today unveiled its top eco-friendly print-on-demand services for 2026, spotlighting the products, certifications, and global supply options that help brands reduce environmental impact without sacrificing speed or profitability.
The announcement comes as sustainable shopping moves firmly into the mainstream, with nearly half of U.S. consumers now purchasing environmentally friendly products regularly and a majority showing a clear preference for brands that can prove their sustainability claims.
Sustainability has become a decisive purchase driver in the U.S. and around the world. Recent consumer research shows that 49% of U.S. consumers have paid more for products positioned as sustainable, reflecting a willingness to reward environmentally responsible brands. At the same time, 44% of shoppers say they are more likely to choose retailers that actively support recycling or waste reduction. For entrepreneurs, these shifts signal a clear opportunity to grow by pairing strong design with verifiable sustainability.
Eco-friendly print-on-demand is becoming the default for new brands
Eco-friendly print-on-demand is rising fast because it solves two problems at once: it reduces waste by producing items only when purchased, and it helps entrepreneurs meet growing customer expectations for responsible manufacturing. Through Printifys platform, sellers can access a worldwide network of vetted Print Providers and choose production sites closer to their buyers, reducing delivery distances, minimizing shipping emissions, and improving delivery times. For merchants exploring sustainable POD, this means they can build greener product lines while keeping operations simple and scalable.
Eco-friendly print-on-demand isnt a trend anymore, its quickly becoming the standard for brands that want to stay relevant, said Davis Sarmins, Director of Growth Marketing at Printify. Printify makes sustainable selling practical. We bring certified products, responsible providers, and low-waste fulfillment into one place so merchants can grow with confidence.
Top eco product picks for 2026 focus on certified materials and low-waste production
Printifys 2026 eco-friendly picks center on products that combine trusted materials with strong, repeat-purchase demand. These include recycled-organic and organic-cotton apparel that replaces conventional, chemical-heavy fibers, reusable accessories like organic cotton totes that encourage low-waste lifestyles, biodegradable phone cases made from compostable or recycled inputs, soy-based candles packaged for minimal impact, and wall art produced on responsibly sourced, forest-certified substrates. By offering these items on demand, Printify helps eliminate overproduction and dead stock, two of the largest hidden drivers of waste in retail.
For sellers, credibility behind eco claims matters as much as the products themselves. Printifys sustainable selection for 2026 is supported by widely recognized standards including GOTS for organic textiles, OEKO-TEX® for chemical safety, FSC for responsibly managed forests, and Eco Passport for cleaner chemical inputs. This allows merchants to communicate real, verifiable sustainability benefits to shoppers who are increasingly skeptical of vague green marketing.
Customers today arent just buying a design, theyre buying the values behind it, Sarmins said. Thats why certifications and supply-chain transparency are essential. Weve built Printify to help merchants avoid greenwashing by giving them products backed by standards people trust.
U.S. case studies show sustainable POD can scale profitably
Printify also highlighted the broader global ecosystem of eco-friendly print-on-demand services shaping the market in 2026. Leading POD providers worldwide are investing in certified blanks, water-based inks, plastic-free packaging, and regional fulfillment. Printifys role is to make these sustainable capabilities easier for sellers to access and combine, letting merchants choose the right certified product and the best-fit production location for each customer rather than being limited to one fixed supply chain.
In the U.S., merchants are already using Printify to transform sustainable intent into real business growth. A merchandise company in Grand Rapids recently expanded into organic cotton and recycled-fabric lines through Printify, citing the platforms clear certification visibility and ability to route orders to nearby production as key to lowering impact while maintaining quality. Printify has also seen a growing wave of U.S. creators launching eco capsule collections built around certified apparel and reusable everyday goods, reflecting a market where shoppers increasingly reward sustainability with loyalty and repeat purchases.
Eco-friendly POD is both ethically right and commercially smart, Sarmins said. You cut waste, shorten supply chains, and attract customers who are willing to stick with brands that share their priorities.
Printify encourages entrepreneurs exploring eco-friendly print-on-demand to start with a focused sustainable assortment, prioritize certified materials, and choose the closest possible production locations for their key markets. With on-demand manufacturing removing inventory risk, merchants can test and expand eco lines quickly, building long-term brand trust as the sustainable economy grows in 2026.
