The purpose of ProTecht®
In recent years, the fashion industry has diligently pursued making the manufacturing process of textile products more sustainable. These improvements in the manufacturing process often focus on topics such as sustainably-sourced fibers, minimizing water consumption, implementing renewable energy, reducing textile waste, etc. Although the industry has taken great strides to reduce their impact, the consumer has been missing from the sustainability equation.
Our goal is to harness the untapped potential of consumer sustainability by empowering the consumer to live a more eco-friendly lifestyle by extending the usable life of the textile products they purchase while also reducing their carbon footprint. ProTecht® – For A More Sustainable You not only protects the integrity of textile products, it also protects the planet. Above all, ProTecht® allows brands and retailers to provide their customers with the opportunity to be more sustainable in the way they maintain their textile products.
