The employees of McDonald’s Restaurants are literally being given a new look. In collaboration with family business Schijvens Corporate Fashion, new company clothing has been developed for employees in the Restaurants, a hip clothing line with a lot of variation that is completely in line with this time. Employees from the Restaurants have helped with the choice of company clothing, which is produced in a sustainable manner.

How do you know for sure that the clothes you wear are recycled? And how sustainable is sustainable then? We have been in the dark for a long time, but we are now working on a standard that shows you exactly how sustainable (company) clothing is.

We notice that there are still many different ideas about the meaning of circular workwear. In this blog we want to tell you our explanation of what we mean by circular clothing.

To pursue for a clear and unambiguous formulation of circular textiles, the NEN is setting a standard. Until clear test methods for a NEN standard have been described, a Dutch Technical Agreement has now been made, which describes how one can subdivide circular textiles.

In the interview series “Koploper uitgelicht” we ask a company from our Frontrunner network of Large Business Network every month about their ambitions and the opportunities they see to be part of that transition. Shirley Schijvens sets a new course for the company that her family started over one hundred and fifty years ago with the development of one hundred percent circular corporate clothing.

Dutch ambassador Bart van Bolhuis, stationed in Istanbul, talks about the current situation in Turkey, trade, the obstacles, but especially also the opportunities that exist there and which, for example, Schijvens is using regarding recycling old items of clothing.
