Sustainability
As a sustainable company, we generate our electricity, efficiently manage resources, and avoid the use of chemicals.
By combining state-of-the-art with traditional craftsmanship, we can prevent or repair even complex damage to raw materials and finished products – whether they are new or already worn. We are creative and collaborative to find the optimal solution for every single challenge with the mission to help reduce or even avoid the disposal or destruction of textiles. This is how we interpret sustainability.
Water and energy are two of the most valuable resources. Therefore, at all locations, we continuously work on efficiency and the most economical consumption. On the roof of our GOTS-certified main location in Wilsum/Germany, we generate electricity by using photovoltaic technology.
We only use environmentally friendly chemicals in finishing processes to contribute to a clean textile and clothing industry.
With our obtained certifications, we also document our long-term and independent efforts. We adhere to the Code of Conduct of the German Textile and Fashion Industry Association.
Every piece of clothing processed by WKS can receive a seal upon request, confirming that it has been thoroughly inspected for its appearance, functionality, and cleanliness and has been restored to an almost-new condition. This ensures that the pre-loved product is a fully refurbished and functional garment.
