Is your aged care facility looking to drive sustainability into your organisation?
Have you considered what your uniforms are made of and what to do with them at the end of garment life?
Deane Apparel delivers over 2.5 million garments every year. Today, each is made in ethical workplaces, and an increasing majority of them are from fabrics with a reduced environmental footprint.
We first offered customers sustainable fabric in 2018. We’ve made ground since then; natural or recycled fibres make up 50% of our fabrics, and we now offer 13 eco-fabrics for wearer trials and volume production, plus a range of sustainable trims.
Not only that, our R&D and supply chain teams are finding ways to keep Deane clothing from landfill by collectively working towards a big goal: 95% of Deane garments diverted from landfill by 2028.
This is an exciting space with technology emerging to meet people’s demand for a circular economy. Currently, there is no single answer to dealing with textile waste, which is why we’re taking the approach that multiple solutions and organisations are needed to address garment waste.
Range of styles fit for purpose
Deane Apparel can offer a uniform range designed for comfort, breathability and function. Styles and fabrics are designed to flatter and enhance a range of body shapes. Aged care facilities can combine prints and colours to create a cohesive, consistent and welcoming look across clinical and non-clinical roles.
One size does not fit all. We have a generous size range; for some styles, we have in stock a female size 6 -30 and a male XS – 6XL. Our designers can customise our wide on-the-shelf range.
Using our in-house embroidery, badging and alterations factory attached to our warehouse, we will guide you through the choices available so the team can wear your brand with pride.
