Polytex
Achieving an important milestone in its commitment to sustainability, the Israeli workwear management company Polytex Technologies has announced the receiving of ISO 14001 certification.
The certification recognizes the company’s implementation and maintenance of effective environmental management systems while confirming its compliance with international standards. With this, Polytex is now delivering environmentally friendly solutions to its clients.
Polytex utilizes several strategies to reduce the environmental effect of its production. All machines are created to order, eliminating the materials and energy wastage from over-production and inventory. It additionally reuses older machines, redesigning them for clients and selling revamped machines, further decreasing waste and consumption.
Customers of Polytex now place an emphasis on environmental aspects, despite the regulators, shareholders, and consumers increasingly scrutinizing the company. The ISO 14001 certification provides third party verification that their workwear management system meets their sustainability goals.
Yariv Matzliach, CEO of Polytex, said, “As demonstrated by our ISO 14001 certification, Polytex takes a proactive approach to sustainable operations and business practices. We know that improving efficiency, reducing waste and costs, and continually improving environmental performance are key goals for our customers. We are proud to support their sustainability programs with advanced workwear management solutions that empower them to reduce textile consumption and laundry waste, while also improving productivity for more sustainable operations overall.”
