At GDI we always seek to protect the brand identity of our clients, therefore, we offer controlled destruction of garments, this at the moment when they have already reached the end of their useful life and become obsolete.
When clothes have become obsolete, there are different ways to dispose of them. There are controlled practices that tend to have different impacts on the environment or society, such as:
- Throw the clothes in the trash: This causes damage to the environment; depending on the fabric, they can take up to 50 years to decompose.
- Donation: The company logo can pose risks to the brand in the wrong hands, as it is unknown what use they will make of it.
- Burning of the clothes: They lack safety protocols and also pollute the environment, causing wider damage.
There are several ways to verify the identity of employees; however, if companies do not ensure controlled destruction of uniforms, they can become victims of identity theft simply by having access to a uniform or shirt that was mistakenly discarded.
That's why at GDI we offer a garment destruction service for work clothes and uniforms, whether they're out of season or obsolete. With this textile destruction service, you can protect your brand and workplace safety, while also demonstrating your company's commitment to the environment.
What is the destruction system like?
To carry out this destruction, the steps we follow are the following:
- Collection by GDI or the customer sends the obsolete uniforms
- Destruction of garments ensuring that the misuse of obsolete uniforms is avoided and we share photographic evidence and a document certifying the destruction of all garments.
- Recycling: The resulting material is reprocessed to generate new by-products: Fabrics for carpets, yarns for upholstery, among other things.
At GDI, we care about your brand from start to finish. By doing so, we protect the environment and provide you with a more friendly and safe service.
