Sustainable Safety – Rethinking Workwear

At Swisspearl’s Lohja factory,Finland, sustainability is stitched into every detail—including our workwear. Through a partnership with Lindström Group, we use a solution that protects our employees while minimising environmental impact.


Unlike standard uniforms, our workwear is specially designed to protect against hazards at the factory. Lindström’s rental model ensures garments are maintained, repaired, and reused instead of being replaced. This extends their lifecycle, reducing textile waste.
“Our workwear must withstand tough conditions while keeping our employees safe. With Lindström, we’ve found a partner that not only delivers on protection but also supports our sustainability goals,” says Matias Raita, EHS Manager at Swisspearl Lohja.


Sustainability is also embedded in Lindström’s washing process, which optimises water and energy use. Once workwear reaches the end of its lifespan, the fibres are recycled instead of being discarded. Additionally, production takes placewithin Europe, lowering emissions and ensuring responsible sourcing. This partnership is more than just about clothing—it’s about making a difference.
