Globe Hope - Zero Waste
The Zero Waste service concept is an environmentally friendly way to recycle your company's textile waste.
TheZero Waste concept is a hassle-free way for companies and organisations to recycle all their waste textiles. In addition, the service concept supports the company's ecological goals with little effort, with a reliable partner.
As waste legislation becomes stricter, and sustainability targets increase, you can leave your company's waste textiles to us.
Why join?
A truckload of textiles is exported around the world for incineration or landfill - every second!
The majority, around 95%, of textile waste from businesses is still incinerated. Incinerating textiles is not the most ecological option. It is also a resource-inefficient and not very raw material-friendly way to recycle. By keeping discarded textiles in the household for as long as possible, a company effectively communicates its responsible values.

Today, legislation governs the recovery of discarded textiles
Waste legislation (Waste Act 2011/646), the waste hierarchy must, as far as possible, be respected in all activities. If waste is generated, the waste producer must prepare the waste for re-use or, alternatively, recycle it.
2016
Since the beginning of 2016, textile waste has not been allowed to be landfilled.
2025
In 2025, there must be separate collection of textile waste within the EU.
2019
In the Finnish government negotiations, the will to have separate collection in place in Finland and before EU-level compulsory collection is introduced was recorded.
Be part of meeting the Sustainable Development Goals
Recycling workwear in a resource-efficient way through the Zero Waste service concept contributes to these UN Sustainable Development Goals 2030.
How does the Zero Waste service concept work?
The stages of a service concept:
Nothing new since 2003
Globe Hope is a Finnish company founded in 2003 with the values of Ethics, Ecology and Aesthetics, Responsibility, Impact and Openness.
Globe Hope's founder Seija Lukkala came up with the idea of reusing and processing discarded materials into design products at the beginning of the millennium. The idea started the story of Globe Hope. Sustainable values and responsible business practices are still present in everything we do today.
We believe that textile waste can become a timeless and sustainable design product. We create every product we manufacture using only existing materials: surplus, waste or recycled. This is our way of challenging the fashion and textile industry and its norms.
Since 2017, we have been developing an all-inclusive Zero Waste concept for businesses. Put your company at the forefront of responsible waste management. Get in touch and we'll tell you more about the possibilities of Zero Waste!
