Corporate clothing recycling

Sustainable and responsible

Company clothing is an important part of a company's appearance. But in many cases, it also has the function of promoting employee safety. Company clothing is usually custom-made and selected with care. But what if this clothing can no longer be worn?

In many cases, it ends up in the trash, which is a waste of resources and harmful to the environment. Fortunately, there are more and more opportunities to recycle company clothing and thus contribute to a more sustainable world. On this page, we take a closer look at this topic.

The importance of corporate clothing recycling

Recycling corporate clothing is an important aspect of sustainable business. Recycling old company clothing saves resources and reduces CO2 and other harmful emissions. Moreover, it contributes to a circular economy, where waste no longer exists and all materials are reused.

Different ways of recycling company clothing

There are several ways to recycle company clothing:

  • Verve
  • Upcycling
  • Reuse

Verve

A common method is fiberizing, in which clothing is ground into fibers that can be used as raw material for new clothing. These fibers are often blended with other materials, such as recycled plastic bottles, to create new, sustainable fabrics.

Upcycling

Another way of recycling is upcycling, in which old clothing is transformed into new garments with a different function or style. Consider, for example, making bags or pillows from old company clothing.

Reuse

Recycling can also be combined with reusing the garments themselves. For example, company clothing that is no longer suitable for the work environment can be donated to charities or organizations that can reuse it, for example, as insulation material or for the production of blankets.
