The Project
The Issue
Global CO2 emissions are increasing year on year, with 2019 estimated to be the highest yet on record. Scientists and governments across the globe agree that a climate emergency is upon us. Immediate action is crucial, and every industry can make changes to help reduce their impact.
Project Plan B is a commitment to tackling global environmental challenges faced by the textile industry. We believe that by redesigning the way we do things right from the beginning, we can significantly reduce our impact while delivering excellent, high quality performance workwear.
Currently nearly 40 million workwear garments are provided to wearers across the UK every year, 90% of which end up incinerated or in landfill. Waste, CO2 emissions, and the use of non renewable resources are the main issues faced by the textile industry in the creation of polyester workwear.
We understand that switching to natural fibres isn’t the answer for workwear. Currently natural fibres do not have the longevity, colour fastness or dimensional stability required for daily use in tough environments.
We believe that designing with the end of life in mind from the beginning means that problems are solved before they are created.
Our Mission
Project Plan B is a commitment to tackling global environmental challenges faced by the textile industry.
Our vision is to make the term no end of use a reality for the corporate workwear industry.
We want to be the catalyst for positive change, pioneering a closed loop recycled polyester system where virgin polyester is no longer required, eliminating waste and reducing CO2 emissions.
We believe in a textile climate where everyone wins; using quality fibres to create high performing garments with no compromise to the environment.
