In today’s world, businesses must not only protect their brand image but also ensure they do so in an environmentally responsible manner. When it comes to branded uniforms, workwear, and textile garments simply discarding them isn’t enough. These garments can pose serious security risks if they fall into the wrong hands, making it essential to dispose of them securely and responsibly.
Why Destroy Your Branded Uniform?
Branded uniforms do more than just provide protection or identity—they symbolise authority, trust, and professionalism. Whether worn by law enforcement officers, paramedics, or corporate employees, uniforms play a crucial role in representing the brand and safeguarding public trust. However, when these uniforms are no longer needed they must be disposed of securely.
Failing to do so can lead to serious risks, such as misuse by criminals impersonating legitimate employees who pose a threat to public safety and brand integrity. By securely destroying your branded uniforms, you can prevent these risks and protect your brand from damage.
What Makes Avena’s Secure Solution Stand Out?
At Avena, we understand that security and environmental responsibility go hand in hand. Our SecureBrand process is designed to provide peace of mind by securely handling your textiles from collection to destruction, while also supporting sustainability goals. Here’s how we do it:
1. Secure Collection
We offer confidential textile bins to ensure the secure storage of your branded uniforms, workwear, and other textiles. Once filled, these bins are collected by our vetted security operatives, ensuring the constant protection of your garments.
2. Vetted Operations
Every member of our operations team undergoes extensive security checks, including DBS/CRB screenings. This ensures that the personnel handling your sensitive materials meet the highest standards of security.
3. Secure Transport
At Avena, security is woven into every part of the process. Our vehicles are unbranded, fitted with GPS tracking, and equipped with 24/7 CCTV surveillance. Extra locks are also used to enhance the security of your textiles during transportation.
4. Textile Shredding
Once the garments arrive at one of our secure depots, they undergo thorough shredding, rendering them completely unrecognisable. This step guarantees that no part of the uniform or workwear can be misused or repurposed inappropriately.
5. Certification & Audit Trail
To provide you with complete transparency, we maintain a full audit trail throughout the destruction process. Upon completion, you’ll receive a Certificate of Destruction giving you added assurance that your garments were handled securely.
6. Re-Purposing & Remanufacturing
We don’t just stop at shredding. In line with our commitment to sustainability, when suitable the shredded textile fibres are repurposed or remanufactured into new products, such as insulation, ensuring that nothing goes to waste.
Security and Sustainability: A Perfect Balance
At Avena we are not only committed to protecting your brand but also to supporting your sustainability goals. Our SecureBrand process is accredited with ISO 14001, which reflects our dedication to environmental management and sustainability. By separating materials before shredding, we maximise repurposing opportunities and help our clients meet their ESG, Scope 3, and Net Zero targets.
