Sustainable revolution

Our service reduces textile overproduction by extending the lifetime of textiles and by producing new textiles only when needed. By using durable materials and designing for circularity, we promote sustainable practices at the very beginning. We avoid millions of kilos of unnecessary textile production by repairing and re-using our garments.  We manufacture additional orders on demand in our own workwear manufacturing facilities, Prodems, which is as effective way to eliminate the textile obsolete risk in our stocks.

To conserve natural resources, we optimise the use of water and energy in our laundries as well as our customer delivery loads and routes. In the washing process, we recycle water and utilise heat from wastewater to warm fresh water. When textiles reach end of their lives, we recycle them as new products or raw materials.

Threads reshaped for a net-zero future

We started our journey towards net-zero to stay at the forefront of sustainable development and help our customers become more sustainable with our services.
