Sustainable clothing for your business

We are committed to offering sustainable clothing to our customers, but what is sustainable clothing and why might it be a good choice for your organisation? Read on to learn more about the organic and recycled fabrics that could enhance your eco-credentials as a business.

What is sustainable clothing?

It's a combination of many things.

Sustainable clothing has been created with minimum impact to the environment using organic and recycled fabrics.

The journey from material source to the end user is more direct with emphasis to reduce packaging and waste in all areas.

Eco-friendly garments are designed and made to be more durable, looking and fitting better for longer than a budget item.

Say goodbye to throw away shirts and single use plastic.

What are the benefits of Organic Cotton?

Organic cotton offers benefits to the environment, human health and the quality of the fabric.

Organic cotton farming avoids the use of synthetic fertilizers and toxic chemicals that harm the environment and can impact the health of the farmers themselves.

Organic cotton yarn production gives off fewer emissions and consumes less energy and water than the production of conventional yarns.

The benefits of sustainable clothing extend beyond eco-friendliness. Organic Cotton garments are crafted with quality and durability in mind, leading to a longer lifespan of the clothing, and because of the absence of harsh chemicals, organic cotton clothing is less likely to trigger allergic reactions in the wearer.

How are recycled garments produced?

 

Clothing made from recycled polyester utilises end-of-life materials such as plastic bottles, food packaging, and even ocean waste, giving them a second life. 

 

By recycling this end-of-life waste, less plastic and harmful materials are entering the eco-system, water ways and oceans.

Company Uniform Recycling Service

At South Coast Embroidery, we offer a clothes recycling service for SMEs. We'll send off your worn out workwear to be recycled or repurposed. Logos will be shredded to ensure your branding isn't seen again. Get in touch to find out more about this service!

Value for money and avoiding a false economy

Feel like your work clothing looks fine when it is new but starts to bobble or fade after just a few washes? This happens when clothing is made too cheaply and as a result needs to be replaced more frequently - a false economy for your business.

Sustainable and recycled garments are built for longevity and value for money is directly related to how many uses a product has. Consider the following processes when choosing your company uniform.

Pre-shrunk material during the manufacturing process
Colour fast treatment to resist fading
Anti-pill material to prevent bobbling of the fabric

Sustainable clothing can lead to a better fitting and more comfortable garment, crucially needing to be replaced less often - which is very good for your budget and the environment!

Is sustainable clothing right for your team?

With more businesses pledging to reduce their environmental impact and take steps to make their practices more eco-friendly, a switch to eco clothing could be a simple and effective move in the right direction.

Sustainable clothing doesn't compromise on quality and can be more affordable than you think.

It's an important story to tell as part of your brand messaging and with a growing trend of customers and employees seeking out eco-friendly businesses with sustainable credentials, aligning to those values may help your organisation appeal to future generations.

We live by an eco-policy. 

At South Coast Embroidery Ltd, packaging from suppliers is reused and any additional packaging needed is either recycled or compostable.

We batch orders together to avoid multiple small deliveries into us, and maintain close attention to detail to run an efficient process that avoids product wastage. 

We are commited to offering sustainable clothing options to our customers where it supports their business needs.

We use OEKO-TEX inks in our prints that have been tested to ensure they don't contain harmful chemicals that could be dangerous to human health or the environment.

We are constantly evolving and innovating our practices to enhance our eco-credentials, so watch this space for future updates and commitments.
