SUSTAINABILITY. Perhaps a niche market 5 years ago but not anymore!
From your modest boss-off t-shirts to your top of the line offshore gear, pretty much all your uniform is available in sustainable options these days. This doesn’t mean you have to find a provider that specialises in sustainable clothing as we have it all at Wave!
Your yardwork and off-charter t-shirts are all available in an organic cotton option. Prefer quick dry materials? No problem. Your quick dry polos, tees, shorts and skorts are all available in yarn made from recycled plastic bottles. Our exclusive line of men and ladies board shorts from OceanR is made from plastic bottles and nets fished out of the ocean by Greek fisherman in partnership with Enaleia. Every product purchase removes a kilogram of ocean waste! These are no longer exceptions to the rule but are becoming the rule. The clothing suppliers, whether it be your top brands or the company that makes a recycled fleece that you wear in the shipyard, all know that the future is in sustainability and have acted accordingly. Big brands are now choosing fabrics from Repreve® which recycles old clothing and plastic bottles to make its yarn. The market has spoken and the suppliers have listened!
If you have been thinking about sustainability in your uniform, give us a call. You’ll be surprised that you don’t have to break the budget by changing to sustainable products and even more surprised to know that some of your uniform already is. We still have a way to go but the change is there.
