CIRCULAR textile solutions
Our commitment lies in providing comprehensive and sustainable textile solutions. This involves offering a complete circular approach to our clients, including efficient separate waste collection, tailored sorting based on customer requirements, and providing innovative solutions and data related to sustainable management practices. We are actively engaged in the common efforts for new and innovative approaches for a circular textile industry.
For a true transition from linear to circular business models collaboration across the entire ecosystem is of significant importance. We actively drive progress towards optimal waste management
not only by introducing new waste utilization enhancements but also by applying industry best practices. We are committed to enhancing public access to sustainable solutions and reducing individual ecological footprints. We achieve
this by offering more opportunities for separate collection of textiles, which are then processed using the best practices available.
Moreover, we are determined to achieve the ambitious goal of sorting, preparing for reuse, and recycling 100% of the collected textile products, promoting a circular economy in the textile industry.
PILLAR OF THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY
The essence of our business activities represent a vital part of the circular economy concept where we maintain the value of products, materials and resources for as long as possible.
BENEFITS TO THE ENVIRONMENT
By “closing the loop” and extending the lifecycle of textiles through greater reuse and recycling, we bring benefits to both the environment and the economy.
preventing waste reaching landfills
Used clothes and other textile waste are valuable resources that shouldn’t go to landfills.
ZERO TEXTILE WASTE
We are dedicated to implementing effective recycling solutions for both our textile waste and collected textiles from our clients and facilities where we operate.
Our aim is to achieve 0% textile landfilling while ensuring 100% treatment and utilization of collected textile products.
in compliance with EU waste framework directive GUIDELINES
We specialize in the effective recovery of textile waste in alignment with the priorities of the Waste Framework Directive (Directive 2008/98/EC).
circular solutions for the fashion industry and communities
We deliver circular solutions for the fashion industry and communities on the most preferred levels: preparation for re-use and recycling.
Transparent and responsible communication
We prioritize reporting and transparently accounting for our sustainable development activities and practices to stakeholders. We quantify our success in terms of the amount of textile collected
and treated.
Additionally, we are open and transparent with our customers about our treatment processes, quantities, and achieved environmental savings. We engage stakeholders in understanding the issues
and potential solutions for textile waste recovery.
Moreover, we inform citizens and interested parties about the benefits of separate collection and subsequent treatment, providing information about the quantitative environmental impacts.
Management of our internal impact – people and environment
We strive to reduce our own environmental footprint. We actively assess our environmental impact by conducting annual greenhouse gas emissions inventories.
We progressively expand the tracked and measured emission categories, aiming to reduce our environmental footprint, including greenhouse gas emissions from company activities.
We are committed to enhancing our internal environment by nurturing human capital and talent development, acknowledging the intrinsic link between the well-being of our people and the sustainability of our operations.
