OF SUSTAINABLE REVOLUTION A clothing revolution is changing the way garments are made and how wearers want to interact with brands. Envirowear® has been designed to be recycled. THE CHALLENGES Of the 40 million workwear garments provided to wearers annually in the UK over 90% end up in landfill or get incinerated. Garments are often blended with other fibres rendering them almost impossible to recycle. Trims, accessories and finishes introduce further barriers to recycling. CIRCULAR CLOTHING Beeswift’s Envirowear® collection makes circular hi-visibility clothing achievable for the first time. By transitioning to circular, recyclable clothing, you support: • Clothing as a renewable resource • Carbon footprint lowered by as much as 70% • Zero high visibility clothing to landfill or • incineration DESIGNED TO BE RECYCLED Envirowear® uses only mono-fibre design principles, each fabric, trim and accessory is carefully selected to ensure recyclability. HOW IT WORKS When garments reach the end of their useful lives, they are returned for recycling. The rPET generated from this unique recycling process can be made into yarn and used for all kinds of polyester clothing and accessories. TRACKING AND TRACEABILITY The QR code in the label can be scanned to identify the garment and inform the holder where to send it for recycling if a garment capturing program is not in place, Beeswift® would be happy to facilitate an introduction into a garment-capturing service provider if required. BADGING & PERSONALISATION Available with specific threads for embroidery or specialised heat transfers that are compatible with the recycling process. Contact your Beeswift® Account Manager for further details. BRINGING CIRCULARITY TO THE WORKPLACE *Based on average weight across the Envirowear range of manufactured and recycled garments HOW MUCH ENVIROWEAR SAVES ON CARBON EMISSIONS (CO2e) EMISSION REDUCTION THE AVERAGE CAR EMITS: Envirowear uses recycled fabrics and trims from post consumer plastic bottles heading to landfill (on average 11, 1L bottles per garment) and reduces the garments manufacturing carbon footprint by an estimated 70% or approximately 4 tonne of CO2e per tonne of textile. Recycling Envirowear and diverting it away from incineration saves an additional 1 tonne of CO2e per tonne of polyester textile waste (WRAP analysis). By recycling Envirowear and re-using the r-PET generated, you are ensuring that carbon emission reductions are maintained by supporting the circular economy. 5 tonnes of CO2e is equivalent to 25,000 miles of travel or 41 trips from Lands End to John O’ Groats 120 grams of CO2 per 0.62 miles 1000kg of Envirowear reduces CO2 emissions by *5 tonnes (approx. 3000 garments) 9
