What does sustainable workwear actually mean?
Put simply, sustainable workwear refers to clothing that is created and used in a way that doesn’t cause harm to the planet or the people that make it. In the context of workwear, it’s about producing durable workwear that lasts, while also reducing environmental harm. This involves initiatives and processes such as reducing CO2 emissions, addressing overproduction, minimising pollution and waste, promoting biodiversity, ensuring fair wages and safe workplaces for garment workers, opting for natural or recycled materials and embracing eco-friendly practices, such as reducing production and water usage, become integral elements of this journey. By doing so, we not only minimise our environmental footprint but also mitigate the far-reaching effects of pollution.
MyWorkwear’s sustainable focus
MyWorkwear offers an extensive range of custom workwear solutions, from vegan hoodies, to jackets made from recycled bottles, all to be finished off, with the personalisation option, of vibrant print, or durable quality embroidery.
Opting for embroidery would be considered a more sustainable option for your workwear, for embroidered designs and logos, as it involves direct stitching onto the fabric, which tends to have longer lasting durable quality. Whereas printing involves the use of ink and dyes, which has a slight environmental impact on a large scale. However, the sustainability of either method can also depend on factors such as the type of materials used, the production processes, and the disposal of waste generated during the process.
Embracing sustainable and ethical workwear has become an absolute necessity in today’s business landscape, especially in businesses with aligned green practices, missions, and values. It’s a strategic decision that also works to boost the morale and goals of your team, which can amplify business success.
