Your Impact On Sustainability

Many clothes contain plastics, such as nylon, polyester, acrylic, etc., and throughout the life of a garment, they will shed tiny particles of the plastic in which they’re made up of. These microplastic fibres can be hazardous to our ecosystem, they can escape into the ocean and enter the food chain, all through us simply washing our clothes – with one load of washing shedding up to 17 million plastic fibres. 

To help you can: 

  • Wash workwear at low temperatures
  • Reduce spin speeds 
  • Air dry rather than tumble dry 
  • Keep your workwear for longer 
  • Choose workwear that is made from natural fibres
  • Follow the manufacturing guidelines with regards to washing and storage helps to extend the life of your clothing. 


Renewable energy avoids the rapid deterioration of fossil fuel reserves and will empower future generations to deal with the environmental impact of over-dependence of fossil fuels. However, when workwear has reached the end of its life, it should be disposed of responsibly. To reduce the environmental impact of discarding clothes, you can look to work with a recycling company, send clothing to a textile processor, upcycle uniforms, donate old clothing, etc. We also promote a service where people can return their used workwear. We debadge the customisation of the product and any logos which can identify them to companies, and provide them to the homeless.
