Weaving Fabrics for a Better Tomorrow
Entirely committed to meeting the needs of its customers, Hamrick Mills also strives to reduce the environmental impact and carbon footprint in all of its operations. This is why they joined the U.S. Cotton Trust Protocol, to ensure the cotton used to manufacture their fabrics is sustainably grown—further protecting the planet’s ecological health and the well-being of future generations.
Hamrick Mills’ manufacturing processes meet or exceed every local, state, and federal requirement for environmental protection, energy, and recycling. They use sustainably grown fibers to create exceptional woven fabrics for the Apparel, Home Furnishings, and Industrial markets.
From woven fabrics for shirting, healthcare gowns and scrubs and career and performance apparel, and home textiles to rugged military and specialized industrial wovens, their manufacturing capacity is versatile and capable of integrating innovative specialty fibers into their cotton blends, such as bamboo, Cocona®, or other fabrics for niche markets.
As a fifth-generation, family-owned company, Hamrick Mills also knows the value of relationships. From the cotton growerwho plants the first seed to the specialized weave technician and delivery driver taking the finished product to the market, every individual in the supply chain is a valuable and indispensable asset. So too are the communities that work for and support the cotton farms and fabric processing facilities.
Continuous Improvement is Central to the Future of U.S. Cotton Production
Brands, retailers, and especially buyers will be happy to know that the demand for ethical and sustainable fabrics is now a market reality. The U.S. Cotton Trust Protocol is a farm level, science-based program that is setting a new standard in sustainably grown cotton.
It offers unrivalled transparency and visibility of cotton through the supply chain, backed by an unparalleled level of independently verified data from their grower members. The Trust Protocol is bringing quantifiable and verifiable goals and measurement to the key sustainability metrics of U.S. cotton production —building trust from field to fabric and enabling continuous improvement across the supply chain.
The program was designed to deliver a better future for U.S. cotton, ensuring that it contributes to the protection and preservation of the planet, using the most sustainable and responsible techniques.
Likewise, manufacturers that join the U.S. Cotton Trust Protocol can be sure they are promoting responsibly produced quality fiber and supporting environmental and social well-being in the field-to-mill supply chain.
Launched in 2020, the U.S. Cotton Trust Protocol is already internationally recognized by Textile Exchange and Forum for the Future, and is a proud member of the Sustainable Apparel Coalition, 2025 Sustainable Cotton Challenge, Cotton 2040, and Cotton Up initiatives.
