IT IS GENUINELY
Understated and stylish, our RECYCLED collection combines simplicity of design with clean lines and contemporary recycled fabrics that are beautifully textured and remarkably individual.
Working with speciality fabrics made from recycled plastics, industrial waste and textiles, we continue with our commitment to reduce plastic waste entering oceans and landfill. produces sustainable, ethical garments whose yarn production gives off fewer emissions and consumes less energy and water than the production of conventional yarns. We aim to ‘close the loop’ using fabrics that can be chemically or mechanically recycled back into textile fibres, and constantly review those materials classed as non-recyclable. Garments in this range are designed to be recycled at the end of their usable life and are made from as close to 100% recycled materials as possible.
works with certified brands PERPETUAL©, TOPGREEN®, REPREVE®, JIAREN, REBORN™ and YKK® who create recycled fibres from consumer plastic, industrial waste and waste polyester fabrics, enabling us to calculate, based on a single size L garment, anequivalent number of 1 litre bottles that has been used to make this garment and prevented from being sent to landfill.
As with all garments, manufacture practice is checked to meet our high standards for a respectful and secure
work environment with reasonable hours, good wage and work conditions for all staff. ensures the supply chain
is traceable to prove origin of garments and where possible, Recycled garments use Oeko-Tex certified fabrics
which are completely free from harmful chemicals and safe for human use. To attain Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certification,
the fabric has been tested and certified to be free from harmful levels of more than 100 substances known to be harmful to
human health.
Recycled garment production adheres to the Global Recycled Standards: An international, voluntary, full product
standard that certifies recycled content, social and environmental practices and chemical restrictions.
Recycled SAFE-GUARD garments welcome early nightfall in styles to lift your safety and brighten dark working conditions, adding layers, texture and warmth to roadside visibility. The inks used to transfer reflective print on our recycled safety range are water-based, so more eco-friendly than traditional plastisol-based inks.
To help reduce the release of plastic microfibers during laundering virgin polyester garments, we aim to increase the use of recycled materials across all our ranges, look for the transition logo to see when standard stock fabrics styles are transitioning over to recycled.
Clear labelling engages customers to buy, use and dispose of clothing to reduce climate impact and resource use.
