Creating a More Sustainable World |
||
| The circular economy in fashion seeks to extend the lifecycle of products, reduce waste, and regenerate natural systems by shifting from a linear “take, make, dispose” model to a more regenerative approach. In a circular system, garments are designed for longevity, can be easily repaired, and are made from materials that can be recycled. The goal is to create a closed-loop system where every product is fully utilised and then returned to the production cycle.
That’s why Reconomy has launched the #CloseTheGap campaign, to ensure every business has the tools to become fully circular. |

Well done team! |
||
| We are thrilled to announce that Nettetal has successfully achieved ISO 9001 and 14001 accreditation—with zero non-conformances or observations! This milestone reflects our unwavering commitment to quality management and environmental responsibility and ensures that Nettetal is fully aligned with the rest of the business in terms of ISO certification.
The auditors also provided outstanding feedback on the professionalism and courtesy of our team, as well as recognition for our waste management and sustainability commitment. Our dedication to environmental sustainability was further highlighted by our waste provider, EGN, who confirmed that Nettetal has exceeded expectations in recycling efforts. This achievement wouldn’t have been possible without the hard work and dedication of our incredible team, thank you to everyone involved! |

Closing The Gap |
||
 |
The circularity gap highlights how far we are from achieving a fully circular economy, one where resources are kept in continuous use and waste is minimized. With only 7.2% of the global economy currently circular, over 90% of natural resources are still being wasted or lost and unable to reuse.
As part of the Reconomy Group, ASCG, Reconomy, and our partner brands see this not just as an environmental challenge, but as a powerful opportunity for businesses to grow more efficiently and sustainably. That’s why Reconomy have launched their #CloseTheGap campaign, to make circular practices easier to understand, adopt, and benefit from. Through practical resources, real-life stories, and close collaboration with our customers, we’re aiming to show that a more circular economy can lead to significant cost savings, innovation, and long-term resilience. Together, we can close the gap and unlock a smarter, more sustainable future. |

This training forms a vital part of our efforts to maintain a safe and compliant working environment for all employees.We extend our sincere thanks to all team members who took part and to the trainers for their expert guidance and support.
