WORKWEAR, UNIFORMS & PPE
Extend the life of workwear, uniforms and PPE
60% lower spend + sustainability evidence for reporting in one programme
ACS helps organisations recover, clean, repair, refurbish, repurpose and recycle workwear and PPE through scalable circular infrastructure.
Most workwear and PPE is still treated as disposable.
ACS offers a better model: keep garments in use for longer, recover value at end-of-life, and help you to reduce waste, carbon and procurement costs.
Significant volumes of workwear are lost to waste
Millions of garments are discarded every year, representing lost value.
High carbon impact
across the garment lifecycle
Reduce waste, lower costs and cut carbon across operations.
Escalating procurement
and replacement costs
Spend continues to rise by replacing garments too frequently
Proven circular solutions that deliver measurable results
From raw materials to manufacture and end-of-life disposal.

WHY IT MATTERS
Lower costs. Less Waste. Better ESG Outcomes.
By extending garment life, organisations can reduce replacement spend, avoid unnecessary disposal, support circular procurement and demonstrate measurable sustainability progress.
A Smarter, Circular Approach to Workwear ACS transforms workwear from a disposable cost into a managed, recoverable asset.
Through structured collection, cleaning, repair and redistribution, we help organisations maximise garment value, reduce replacement cycles and deliver measurable sustainability outcomes.
IMMEDIATE CARBON AND WASTE REDUCTION
Repairing a single garment can save over 20kg of CO₂ compared to buying new, making refurbishment a highly effective Scope 3 reduction strategy.
Extending garment life through circular systems can reduce overall textile emissions by up to 35%, while significantly cutting landfill waste.

Garments are collected via on-site points, processed through ACS facilities and returned into use or directed into the most sppropriate end-of-life pathway
DELIVERING MEASURABLE COMMERCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
ACS circular workwear models can reduce replacement costs by up to 60% while also lowering carbon emissions and textile waste across operations.
Refurbishment is typically far more cost-effective than purchasing new garments, enabling organisations to achieve a strong return on investment alongside improved sustainability performance. To support this, ACS offers a range of circular service models designed to integrate seamlessly with existing workwear and PPE systems, tailored to operational needs, garment types and organisational priorities.
START YOUR CIRCULAR WORKWEAR JOURNEY
Test. Measure. Scale
Whether you’re looking to reduce costs, improve sustainability performance or better manage your uniform assets, ACS provides a scalable, proven solution.
We begin with a defined workwear or PPE stream, assess garment condition, process items through ACS and provide clear data on:
• Recovery Rates • Waste Diversion
• Cost and Savings • Carbon Savings
A low-risk way to see circular workwear in action.
