MEET the rats
Certified Garbage Rat is a Columbus, Ohio based apparel and accessory brand focusing on screen printed and handmade sustainable goods.
-
We’re just 2 twenty-something-year-old designers from New Jersey surviving in Ohio.
-
CGR has moved around quite a bit. We’ve gone from printing in our bathroom (sorry for that), to a sketchy basement setup, to now renting out a studio from time to time. One thing about CGR is that it’s always printed by rat paws, we guarantee it.
-
Currently, we source all our blanks from LA Apparel. We love them for their cool silhouettes and quality fabrics, but their ethical production really takes the cake among other blank suppliers. You should check it out here.
-
Currently, our garments are sourced from Los Angeles Apparel. Their priorities are sustainability, fair wages, work training, creating jobs in the USA, and high-quality garments. These are all things that we align with and want to support in the blank industry. We then print these garments ourselves using mindful printing practices.
Our other products are also created and sewn here at CGR, so quality and sustainability are always the highest priority.
To help keep our products sustainable from the studio to you, everything is packaged in a recyclable mailer made by EcoEnclose.

If you have to ask you probably wouldn’t get it, sorry!
