Creating clothing selections that are environmentally responsible is becoming a priority for an increasing number of customers.
As the effects of climate change and the need for all of us to make positive steps in decreasing our environmental impact become more well known and discussed many organisations are looking at ways in which they can take positive steps.
Clothing is just one area where the potential for waste is huge.
From the perceived “throw away” nature of garments to manufacture location and the costs/effects involved with transporting the products to the UK; there are many areas to look at and address with your workwear supplier.
One simple step can be selecting garments manufactured in the UK or EU. This will reduce transportation emissions and help promote employment that is bound by the higher social and legal standards in the UK and EU.
Other brands have started introducing garments made from recycled materials.
We’ve found this is a great way to measurably reduce your carbon footprint as a team or organisation.
