100 tons collected in our ARX garment collector: a key milestone in achieving a closed-loop for cleanroom garments
We've now collected 100 tons of end-of-life textiles, marking a major step toward a true circular economy. But we’re not stopping there. Our vision is clear, and our direction is set. Achieving a closed-loop system is a step-by-step process, and every move we make is deliberate and impactful.
To build on this progress, we’ve updated our Standard Range Catalogue with fabrics that make a real difference. Our stock in Belgium, ready for next-day dispatch, now includes:
100% recycled fabrics – The same trusted fabrics that have been pillars of contamination control worldwide for over 20 years, now made entirely from recycled materials. These validated textiles continue to deliver the durability, particle filtration, and comfort required in cleanroom and clean area environments while significantly lowering environmental impact. This shift aligns with our goal of creating a truly circular textile economy without compromising on performance or safety.
zr0.dye – our undyed garment option, The dyeing process is one of the most resource-intensive steps in textile production, consuming large amounts of water, energy and chemicals. Making it a significant environmental challenge. With zr0.dye, we eliminate the dyeing stage, significantly reducing water and energy consumption while lowering the overall environmental impact. The result: A fabric that performs just like traditional cleanroom textiles, with minimal visual difference compared to standard white fabrics but with a cleaner production footprint.
This update is more than just new fabrics; it’s another step toward lowering our impact and rethinking the future of cleanroom textiles. Cleaner production, smarter choices, and the same reliability you expect.
arx initiative
what happens to these garments?
You may be wondering what becomes of the garments collected through this initiative. Once processed, our textiles are repurposed and transformed into valuable resources, driving us closer to a zero-waste future.
