At Else Bornewa, we evaluate the environmental, social, and economic impacts of our production processes with a holistic perspective and implement continuous, systematic improvements to minimize them.
A significant portion of our annual electricity consumption is supplied by solar energy, making our
production cleaner and more efficient.
We manufacture most of our products using recycled or environmentally responsible raw materials,
ensuring resource use is managed sustainably.
We embrace a fair, safe, and inclusive working model that creates value for our community, employees, and
supply chain.
Every step of our production—from raw material to final product—is designed to be fully traceable,
ensuring complete transparency for our customers.
With our Full Conversion principle, we recycle both pre-consumer waste (production leftovers, cuttings) and post-consumer waste (end-of-life textile products).
An annual average of 2,447 tons of textile waste is transformed into fiber—and then yarn—using mechanical recycling methods.
Every 1 kg of recycled cotton saves approximately 2,116 liters of water, which means 2.1 million liters of water preserved for every ton of textile waste recycled.
| Category | Gain / Impact | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Water | 28,5 million m³ | Daily water need of 2.8 billion trees |
| CO2 | 17,317 tons CO₂ equivalent | Annual carbon emission of 2,654 people |
| Energy | 19,5 million kWh | Energy need of a family for 3,340 years |
| Agricultural Land | 17,88 km² | Equivalent to 2,500 football fields |
Thanks to our solar energy investments, these are the average annual values achieved in our facilities.
◦ Standard coal savings
◦ Prevented CO₂
◦ Equivalent to Planted Trees
