Working for a greener planet
Helping our customers become more sustainable
Sustainability is in the very core of our purpose and strategy. We want to inspire businesses to grow in a sustainable way. As our business model is based on circular economy, we know that it is possible. For decades, we have been on a mission to avoid overproduction of textiles and optimise the use of natural resources.
Aiming for continuous improvement
Minimising environmental impact
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 aim to recycle them as new products or raw materials.
