Circular Economy Approach to Uniforms
Sourcing
We aim to use garments made with high-quality materials using a single type of fabric as these are easier to recycle.
Recycle
To increase the likelihood of the garments being recycled where possible we source high-quality single fabric garments.
Upcycle
We offer a take-back scheme to upcycle end-of-life items into useful products for the donor business, with the option to involve community groups in the production of the new items for an added layer of social value.
Reduce
Misprints are offered at a reduced price to avoid them ending up as waste.
Re-use
We strive to reuse all supplies whenever possible, with all packaging being repurposed or reused.
Workwear That Creates Social Value
Long Term Social Value Goals
Our long term goal is to provide employment opportunities to help people escape homelessness.
This means that the working hours used to produce your uniforms and PPE would directly provide the financial means for an individual to rise out of homelessness.
Short Term Social Value Goals
While we are working on our long term goal we wanted something that could have an almost instant impact.
For our smaller jobs as part of our social offering, we will donate items requested by charities focused on homelessness or give out BillyChips.
