We Create Sustainable Uniforms

We provide environmentally friendly, sustainable uniform solutions. Uniform Express works hard to make sure that the uniforms and corporate wear we create, and supply, are from sustainable fabric sources and manufactured through sustainable processes.

What we do to make our uniforms sustainable and our processes environmentally friendly at every stage of production and supply

Sustainable Uniform Design
1

Design

Uniform Express identifies environmentally friendly options for fabrics such as rPET polyesters (recycled polyesters), organic cottons, BCI Cottons.

We design our uniforms for end-of-life recycling, including minimal components and single composition fabrics.

We also identify sustainable trims such as eco buttons, natulon zips, plant-base zippers and buttons, recycled labels, and embroidery threads.

Procurement

Our fabrics are procured based on environmental credentials. We select ISO40001 suppliers and EKO-TEX-certified mills.

Our Uniform Express Suppliers Portal shows full visibility of all core supply partners.
