As World Environment Day 2025 draws attention to “Ending Plastic Pollution”, it’s a timely reminder of the role uniform providers can play in reducing our environmental impact. One way is to consider how to make sustainable decisions: Produce Well, Care Well, Rewear Well.
HeathBrook works with suppliers that are selective about what goes into the garments they produce, and that we ultimately offer our customers.
Many of our clothing ranges are made from recycled plastic bottles, turning post-consumer PET into high-quality workwear. For example:
But production isn’t just about origin—it’s about longevity. We ensure the garments we offer are built to stand the test of time, reducing the frequency of replacements and helping our customers lower their overall carbon footprint.
Clothing that lasts needs to be looked after. Our industrial laundry service helps extend garment life and can be combined with our electric vehicle delivery service to certain airports. Plus, our laundry partner is located just ¼ mile from our HQ, so we offer both:
By laundering, rather than replacing little-worn items, our customers not only save money—they significantly cut down on resource use.
We have in a previous article provided tips on how employees can maintain their uniforms, this helps ensure longevity as well as enhancing professional appearance and protecting brand reputation.
HeathBrook’s SMARTRECYCLING scheme ensures that worn-out or surplus uniforms never end up in landfill. From secure bin collection and tracked transport to certified garment destruction, we handle the process with full traceability.
Depending on the fabric type, your garments may be:
Reused to create new clothing or products
Transformed into insulation or acoustic materials
Repurposed into polyester pellets or RDF energy if beyond textile recycling
We’re even piloting initiatives like SMARTBOX, a service that combines delivery and recycling pickups in a single journey—cutting emissions and making it easier for clients to do the right thing.
Our WearWell process isn’t just a sustainability strategy—it’s a commitment to responsible sourcing, practical garment care, and end-of-life accountability. It’s about producing workwear with purpose and giving our clients the tools to reduce waste, cut emissions and help end plastic pollution.
