0.2% RECLAMATION RATE
Blåkläder aims at maintaining the highest possible quality in every stage of
the production cycle. Our goal is to manufacture garments that are both functional
and have a long life span, which leads to reduced consumption of raw
materials and resources. Currently, our reclamation rate is extremely low and
we constantly try to keep it as close to zero as possible.
PRODUCTION WITH A HUMANITARIAN APPROACH
All factories that manufacture our garments are SA8000 certified. We are determined
to create fair working conditions for the staff and to provide regular health checks, free
medical care, meals, transportation to and from work, as well as schoolbooks for families
with children. Everything contributes in creating a safe and secure environment for
the employees and their families.
MARITIME TRANSPORT WITH A MINIMUM OF CLIMATE IMPACT
Every year, nearly 4.5 million garments are transported from our production units to
our distribution center in Sweden. Our goal is to carry out 97% of the shipments by sea
transportation.
LIFETIME GUARANTEE ON ALL SEAMS
Prolonged life span on the garments causes less climate impact, both in terms of
transport, and in the consumption of raw materials and other resources. Blåkläder’s
workwear last longer than average, and have a lifetime guarantee on the seams. As a
result of changing supplier to Blåkläder, NCC has reduced their consumption from 5
pairs of work pants per employee and year, to 1.8.
