The world has seen unprecedented environmental challenges in recent years, and it’s now more important than ever to implement sustainable practices into our day-to-day lives. IQ Apparel is a leader in the workwear industry when it comes to providing quality uniforms that are not only stylish and professional, but also conscious of their environmental impact. IQ Apparel has taken this responsibility seriously by creating uniforms that are both stylish and sustainable.
Cotton
The truth is that natural fibers like cotton use significantly more water than their synthetic counterparts (like polyester). It takes 659 gallons of water to make a cotton tee shirt, while only 92.5 gallons of water to make a polyester shirt! That’s more than 7 times less water used in production – and that’s just one difference between these two fabrics. Synthetic fabrics also last much longer than natural fabrics and require less energy to produce. One of our t-shirt lines now recycles 98 % of the water used which reduces the additional water used by 9 gallons, or the equivalent to a 4-minute shower (the average is 8 minutes).
Sustainable Fabrics
We care about making sure your team looks just as great on the outside as they feel on the inside! Our uniforms can use fabrics like organic cotton, recycled polyester/nylon blends, and other natural fibers that have far less water usage and carbon footprint compared to traditional fabrics — helping you save money while doing your part for the planet.
In addition to the environmental benefits, sustainable fabrics also provide superior comfort and breathability when compared to traditional uniforms. The durability of these fabrics is second-to-none — making them an excellent choice for long days in the office or on the job site.
Uniform Style
IQ Apparel is determined to prove that sustainable practices don’t have to compromise style. Our selection of workwear not only looks great, but can also use fewer resources than traditional fabrics. We make it easy for you to upgrade your uniforms so join us in our mission towards creating a more eco-friendly future!
