“Managed Workwear Services provide a model for circular textile practices, garment reuse, and sustainable workwear production”

Textiles Intelligence's 14-page report states managed workwear services could provide a blueprint for a more circular textile industry, with providers extending garment lifespans through repair, laundering, reuse and recycling. The source also confirms the sustainable production element: workwear is designed to withstand hundreds of industrial washing cycles while remaining easy to repair, with ownership creating incentives to prioritise durability, repair and material recovery. Companies named as examples include Alsico, CWS Workwear, Elis, Fristads, Lindström, Mascot and Mewa.
