Products​
Workwear Garments, where possible, our manufacturers use recycled polyester in their products. Where possible our poly-cotton garments are made using recycled polyester and we work closely with our supply chain partners to promote similar initiatives.
PPE, our dedication to looking for innovative ideas for improving our sustainability credentials is unparalleled within our industry. Creating durable, long-lasting quality garments represents only the beginning of our efforts.
Working with providers of sustainable manufacturing processes. We have replaced single use plastic for workwear and PPE packaging with a 100% biodegradable outer that is also compostable. This is made with potato starch that contains no plasticizers or toxins and is a great alternative to LDPE plastic wrapping, with the ability to also print on the outer.
Gloves, are brought back, shredded and recycled where possible and sold back.
Footwear, all of our own branded footwear is supplied in 100% fully recycled boxes and we challenge our suppliers to provide the same.
Internal Recycling, double sided printing; Printing double sided allows us as a company to reduce the quantity of paper used as a whole. Having said this, we also avoid printing in color, photocopying and re-use scrap paper for note pads.
Waste bins have been replaced by paper recycling, general waste and mixed recycling bins. This is to enable efficient waste disposal and to drive environmental awareness internally.
Reduction in plastic on all foldable after garments, we continue to reduce the packaging on our casual and workwear tops by 50% just by folding the product one additional time, making the packed garment half the size and allowing the garment to require a bag half the size. This mainly applies to upper body garments such as polo shirts, t -shirts, sweatshirts and ironically works best with polyester incorporated products, due to the increased durability properties these products possess.
