Noel Asmar Uniforms has developed a new line of eco-friendly fabric for spa uniforms called EcoSignature.
The material – made from biodegradable polyester and spandex (to be replaced with biodegradable spandex once available) – is claimed to ensure durability for uniforms and only begins to break down when disposed of.
EcoSignature has been third party tested and received an environmental compatibility certificate ensuring that as it degrades in soil, no harmful substances are released.t
“We took our time with this fabric, ensuring we never compromised on quality, comfort, or longevity,” says company CEO and founder, Noel Asmar.
“Transitioning to a material that would safely degrade at the end of life was the biggest opportunity for impact. We had to make it as easy as possible for our customers without compromising on quality, colour or garment longevity, and also avoiding increasing costs.
“2022 marks our 20-year anniversary and we’re committed as a business and a brand to making our next 20 years even more sustainable.”
Hitting shelves later this summer, the EcoSignature fabric will replace the brand’s current Signature Fabric, used to make a variety of tunics and bottoms for both men and women in an extensive size range.
All uniform styles will be replenished with the EcoSignature fabric gradually over time.
“By creating uniforms out of the new EcoSignature fabric, we know that even if they end up in landfills, the uniforms will safely break down,” adds Asmar.
“Our clients and customers want to know they’re doing business with companies that care. They spend their days caring for others. It’s our job to care for them, while all coming together and doing our part to care for the planet.”
