recycled PET bottles influence the textile industry, to really work together in the workwear value chain and be a
valuable partner to garment makers and industrial laundries. With our sustainable fabrics,
we want to make that difference to the planet we call home.

For most of our Green garments we have used the colouring
method e.dye , also called the waterless colouring system.
®
It is an environmentally sustainable process for dyeing
fabrics, where the colour is added to the raw material before
it becomes yarn. This reduces water consumption by 75%
compared with traditional dyeing and results in superior
colour performance because the colour is inside the yarn.
