SCALING UP OUR
COMMITMENT TO
CIRCULARITY
RESPONSIBLE
UNIFORM
DISPOSAL SCHEME
From start to 昀椀nish, SMI takes care of every
detail:
As part of SMI’s ongoing drive to scale up
our sustainability e昀昀orts, we’re proud to
introduce a new addition to our existing
recycling scheme, supporting the responsible
disposal of old or unused uniforms during the
demobilisation phase of customer rebrands
or uniform transitions.
• Full coordination of collection and logistics
This expanded service helps reduce land昀椀ll
waste, promotes resource recovery, and
integrates circular economy principles into
every stage of your uniform lifecycle.
Whether you need to dispose of a single item
or clear out an entire site, SMI o昀昀ers a fully
managed, hassle-free solution that ensures
all uniforms are processed responsibly, with
zero added burden on your team.
Our dedicated ESG department will
act as project lead, coordinating the
setup, collection, and certi昀椀ed recycling
of garments to ensure the process runs
smoothly, e昀케ciently, and in full compliance
with environmental standards.
This initiative reinforces our shared goal of
building sustainable, low-waste operations
and we’re proud to help our customers deliver
meaningful impact at every stage of their
supply chain.
