Sustainability in Business

The Effect of Eco-Conscious Workwear

When it comes to implementing sustainability across your supply chain, the commonly thought of areas or ranges affected and most notably impacted are facility supplies, technology and the novel office supplies like notebooks and bamboo pens. Where this is certainly a fantastic start to the immense undertaking of creating wholly sustainable and eco-friendly supply chains, many areas of business supplies are left unthought of for their green credentials and their impact on the environment.

Outside of business supplies, one of the first industries put under scrutiny from the public and official bodies & organizations was the fashion industry. Over the past decade and beyond, the shift in the way we – as consumers – treat fashion has been huge, with many brands being successful for sustainably sourcing their materials and the growing refusal of leather and fur and the opting for faux options instead. This has made a huge impact on the way we view sustainability from a consumer mindset, but are we treating workwear and PPE with the same reverence?

We work alongside the Regatta brand to include sustainable workwear choices to our customers that are just as high-quality, can guarantee protection, and have a much smaller or null impact on the environment. Their Honestly Made 2021 range provides a plethora of suitable options for all workwear needs, proving not only is it environmentally sustainable, but also financially from a business perspective. Below are four of our favorite new products from this range and a little about what makes them sustainable.

TRA423 Honestly Made Recycled Insulated Jacket

This insulated jacket is a newer addition to the Regatta Professional Honestly Made range. It comes in navy and black colorways, the fabric itself is 100% recycled polyester woven fabric with 100% recycled polyester lining. Even the wadding insulation is 100% recycled. The outer fabric has a unique grid design on the face of the fabric, along with a grown-on hood, two lower zip pockets, and stretch binding on the hem and cuffs. Wearing this one jacket is the equivalent of wearing 30 plastic bottles.
