A Partner in Sustainability
The key to any strong sustainable story is the partnerships throughout the supply chain.
EdwardsX was the first to introduce a sustainable collection of stocked fabrics in the promotional products industry. Back in 2005 we launched our sustainable collection consisting of soy, bamboo, and organic cotton fabrications along with RPET (recycled) polyester fabrics.

How is it all package and delivered?
Each garment is sustainably packaged
Many companies are already committed to reducing their plastic use. Another giant step towards reduced virgin plastic consumption is looking at the plastic polybags that uniforms are shipped in.
CHOOSE RECYCLED PLASTIC TO REPLACE VIRGIN PLASTIC POLYBAGS
Recycled plastic requires less energy, water, and creates lesspollution than virgin counterparts.
Using recycled plastic polybags enables those raw materials to be utilized again and keep goods out of the landfill.
1 ton of recycled plastic saves 16.3 barrels of oil and 5,774 kWh of electricity.
CHOOSE RECYCLED PAPER APPAREL BANDS TO REPLACE PLASTIC
Paper can be recycled many times before its fibers become so short that it cannot be remade into any new paper product. It can also be composted. Additionally, paper is more likely to be recycled than plastic.
1 ton of recycled paper saves 17 trees, 7,000 gallons of water, and 4,200 kWh of electricity.
