Although safety is the primary concern when purchasing Flame Resistant Clothing (FRC), consider the environmental impact of the manufacture of those garments. According to Textile Exchange, less than 20 percent of textile production holds any sustainability credential. We can do better. Our employees, our communities, our customers and our planet are counting on it.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) describes sustainable manufacturing as the process of producing manufactured goods through the use of eco-friendly practices and materials that aim to reduce harmful impacts on the environment while conserving energy and protecting our natural resources. Adopting responsible manufacturing measures is not only the right thing to do, it’s good for business. It may sound counterintuitive, but doing good and making a profit can go hand in hand. Responsible manufacturing enhances the safety of your facility, your employees, your products and your community.
