Serving up optimal sustainability and style
Allow us to serve you fresh, eco-designed uniforms, it’s our speciality....
As a hospitality professional, you will understand the importance of using high-quality, sustainably sourced ingredients. Sourcing a supplier to fully manage your restaurant and kitchen uniform requirements is no different…
That’s why, at Elis, we offer eco-designed products which have been carefully made to minimised environmental impact in the production process and within the garment’s lifecycle.
Sustainable sourcing
Our garments are laundered, repaired and maintained within our fully managed circular services. This helps to optimise functionality and longevity, reducing carbon emissions, energy consumption and associated costs.
Our textile recycling process
-
Resolution
When our garments can no longer be repaired or withstand our wash processes, they are put aside for sorting so that they can be recycled and transformed.
-
Removal
After sorting, the end-of-life garments enter the shedding process, whereby all fixtures from the garments are removed ready for defibration (the breaking down of fibres within the garment).
-
Raw fibres recovered
Through a mechanical process, the raw fibres are broken-down and retrieved from the garments.
-
Revitalise
The fibres obtained from end-of-life garments are then spun to create new yarn.
-
Ready to weave
The yarns are woven into new fabric. This undergoes a finishing process to enhance its properties, creating a ready-to-use fabric made from our end-of-life garments: a 100% recycled material!
-
Reborn and ready to wear
The fabric is cut in the garment factory, ready to create a new apron. Garments will be worn until end-of-life, when they reach resolution.
