Do you offer end-of-life solutions for uniforms?
From day one, we think about where a uniform will end up, not just how it looks. That’s why we offer tailored recycling solutions for every piece we supply.
Whether it’s landfill diversion or semi-closed loop recycling in Australia, we help give uniforms a second life – because real impact means planning for the full journey.
How do you track how and where uniforms go?
We collect unwanted items from client locations and send them to a number of partners that support our diversion from landfill objectives. They provide us with regular reports certifying weights of materials processed and their destination.
When designing solutions for our customers, we will work collaboratively to ensure sustainability objectives and reporting requirements are met.
How are you adhering to your objective of keeping materials at their highest value use?
The minimum we can do is to ensure materials at end-of-(their uniform!) life are not going to landfill. We then identify partners to work with who are either re-using materials, or, repurposing them into other valuable goods.
This is an area that’s rapidly evolving so working with our industry partners, like Seamless, and keeping our finger on the pulse of new entrants and technologies supporting textile recycling is part of our broader process.
Can you supply merchandise?
Yes, we have a dedicated team that turn branded merchandise into brand moments.
From concept to delivery, our team brings creative thinking, thoughtful sourcing and production know-how to every project. Whether it's a launch gift, customer giveaway, or part of an activation, we make sure your merch doesn’t just look good — it lands.
