“In all industries, we see that wearers are always requesting us for increased comfort and excellent protection of their protective garments. Tecapro® Ecogreen®, the first flame retardant solution composed of 50% green fibres, is a fabric that meets these expectations. With TENCEL™ Lyocell and REPREVE recycled polyester fibres, this fabric is very breathable, durable, feels soft to the skin and this all without compromising the level of protection. We have therefore chosen to integrate this fabric into our range of multi-risk clothing in order to meet the expectations of wearers, and for its low environmental footprint.”

“For us, Tecapro® Ecogreen® is an important step in improving the sustainability of our collections. When developing sustainable clothing, we take several different factors into account: the raw materials that we chose, the eco design of the clothing, socially responsible production, clothing that can be used to extend service life through sustainable maintenance, end-of-life solutions for clothing. We endeavour to combine all of this with the carbon neutrality of our business operations. We consider it important that sustainability is more than just a marketing tool, but something that can be quantified as well. That’s why we enter into partnerships with accredited labels, such as the Fair Wear Foundation, CO2 logic, and Ecovadis. This requirement was also satisfied for the TenCate Protective Fabric’s Tecapro® Ecogreen® fabric. An ISO 14025 EPD® report from Tecapro® Ecogreen® mapped out a positive, quantifiable impact on the environment, and we are pleased to be able to use this innovative fabric for our collections.”
