Product use

A properly maintained product can withstand heavy use.

The life cycle of workwear can be divided into several stages, including design, manufacture, use and disposal or recycling.

Check out the washing and maintenance instructions for workwear.

Workwear life cycle, disposal and recycling

Design and manufacturing


During the design phase, the requirements set for each product and the eco-design regulation are taken into account. If possible, we will try to favor more e.g. Recycled materials or new fibers with less impact on nature. When the product is required to last and the protection requirements must take into account e.g. fire protection properties, a material that meets the required properties is selected for the product. Fire-resistant work clothes require special materials and manufacturing techniques.


Ecological design means that the environmental aspect is taken into account already in the design phase of the products. Its goal is that the environmental impact of the products should be as minimal as possible throughout their life cycle.

Use


When using work clothes, it is important to take care of their proper care and maintenance,so that their service life is as long as possible. The products must be washed and repaired in accordance with the requirements.

Multinorm products that have a fire protection or electric arc certificate (EN 11611, EN 11612, EN 1149-5, EN 61482-2) must not be repaired by yourself, as correct certified materials must be used to repair the product. The products in question must be repaired according to the manufacturer's instructions/by the manufacturer.

Disposal or recycling

When the workwear has reached the end of its life, it can be removed from use, by delivering it for further processing into new products, industrial absorbent cloths and fiber. Work clothes that do not have fire protection requirements can usually be recycled, e.g. into a new fiber in textile processing plants.
