Image Wear and Pirkanmaan kierr\u00e4tys ja ty\u00f6toiminta ry have begun cooperation in utilizing decommissioned workwear through reuse. Even though workwear is decommissioned, it is not always yet at the end of its life cycle. When a company's workwear look changes or an employee leaves, the employer is left with garments that someone else could still make use of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reuse center sells the reusable products<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If a garment has a company logo or is otherwise unsuitable for sale, the reuse center delivers them in minimum batches of 1000 kg to Image Wear's Lieto location to be baled. From Lieto the garments leave in 10,000 kg recycling batches to a partner that makes Cliff\u00ae recycled composite products from them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Logo-free products suitable for reuse are donated to the reuse center for sale. The reuse center sells them in the L\u00f6yt\u00f6kellari opened in spring 2023 in the basement of its Nekala location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pirkanmaan Kierr\u00e4tyskeskus project coordinator Jari Hakala<\/strong> is excited about the project: \"This is a great pilot project, and I hope this succeeds. I am excited when products \u2013 whether textiles, workwear or other goods \u2013 are put to reuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In reuse, products can be utilized 100 %, and it also shows in the carbon footprint. Recycling into new materials and products is a fine thing too, but the efficiency is lower compared to reusing the product.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
