PACKAGING & TRANSPORT
At Leo, they believe that keeping our garments clean, dry and protected before they’re worn is essential, and there’s no better solution for this than a plastic bag.
A circular, sustainable approach to packaging is essential for the future of our planet and so they partnered with Change Plastic for Good® to create the Leo Cares bag. They feature an innovative biotechnology called BDP® from Change Plastic for Good®, which responsibly deals with the end of life. BDP® tricks microbes into consuming the bag which becomes a source of food for microbes.
No microplastics left behind, just compost and natural gas.
GARMENT END OF LIFE
When dealing with products at the end of life, Leo Workwear have partnered with UK based Avena, who are experts in securely recycling textiles and other items of PPE. Avena collect, destroy and recycle your (or your customer’s) textiles and PPE.
