What makes corporate clothing sustainable?

Sustainable corporate clothing meets at least three conditions. First, material: organic cotton, recycled polyester or blended fibres with a certificate. Second, production: fair working conditions through Fair Wear or BSCI. Third, design: quality that lasts 40+ washes and can be repaired or recycled at the end. On our corporate clothing page you will find the complete product selection.

Workwear: hi-vis, safety and workwear

Safety workwear can be sustainable too. Brands such as Tricorp Workwear, Snickers Workwear and Fristads offer GRS-certified high-visibility and corporate workwear with a longer lifespan and a circular end-of-life programme. For sectors requiring multi-standard certification (electricity, chemicals), the sustainable choice depends on compatibility with the standards. We advise you on which combination works in your sector.

Fulfilment and KMS: sustainable management software

A sustainable clothing package deserves sustainable management. Our KMS (clothing management system) prevents overstock: employees order individually what they need, using a points system linked to HR. The result: 20 to 40% less textile waste than with a bulk roll-out. Through fulfilment we combine stock, personalisation and direct shipping to the employee or branch.

Circular end of life: Tree by Tree and Waas Circulair

What happens to corporate clothing after 3 to 5 years? Together with Waas Circulair (East Flanders) and Tree by Tree programmes, we take back worn-out workwear and corporate clothing. The textiles are sorted, repurposed or shredded into new fibres. Clothing with a scannable tag (RFID or QR) provides traceability for your ESG report.

Printing and embroidery: sustainable techniques

• Water-based screen printing: no solvents, delivers bright colours.
• DTG (direct to garment): made-to-order printing, little waste, ideal for small runs.
• Embroidery: no ink, extremely durable, the most premium look.
• Sublimation: only on white polyester, ideal for sportswear.
• Avoid: PVC transfers and solvent-based flex, as they contain plastics that hinder decomposition.

Frequently asked questions about sustainable corporate clothing

Is organic cotton more expensive than conventional cotton?

Usually 15 to 30% more, but thanks to higher quality and a longer lifespan, the cost per wash is often comparable.

Can you suggest a sustainable alternative to our current range?

Yes. Send us your current styles and quantities and we will make a like-for-like comparison with certified alternatives, including price and CO2 impact.

What happens to worn-out workwear?

Through our circular partnership with Waas Circulair, we take back worn-out clothing for repurposing or recycling into fibre.

Are RPET fleeces as warm as regular fleeces?

Yes. RPET fleece performs technically on a par with virgin polyester, with the added benefit of a 75% CO2 saving.
