The Zero Waste service concept is a resource-efficient way for companies to recycle surplus textiles.

The Zero Waste concept is an easy way for companies and organisations to recycle textile waste. We manage the recycling process from start to finish according to the customer's needs, and provide the customer with a report on textile reuse.

The Zero Waste concept supports the corporate customer's ecological goals with little effort, with a reliable partner. As waste legislation becomes stricter, companies can safely entrust us with the recycling of their discarded textiles.

6 CLEAN WATER AND SANITATION

Globe Hope's Zero Waste service concept reuses existing materials, no new material needs to be produced and clean water is saved. One of our recycling channels is water purification equipment.

7 AFFORDABLE AND CLEAN ENERGY

Our business is based on ecology, so saving energy is a matter of course for us. The energy we use is renewable energy certified by the Finnish Nature Conservation Union (EKOenergia). Energy is saved by not having to manufacture new materials.

12 RESPONSIBLE CONSUMPTION

Globe Hope strives for resource efficiency in all areas. Throughout our operations, we have made products from scrap, recycled and surplus materials and encouraged other companies to recycle materials. By saving materials, our operations have a positive climate impact compared to the use of virgin materials. We provide consumers with the products they want, produced responsibly.

13 CLIMATE ACTIONS

Globe Hope's goal is to be climate neutral, so that our carbon handprint is at least the size of our carbon footprint by 2025. Our whole business is based on climate action, we are a pioneer and a trendsetter in this field.

17 COOPERATION AND PARTNERSHIP

From the start of our operations, we have chosen responsible partners who contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals. Globe Hope is a member of FIBS, the largest network of corporate responsibility pioneers and experts in the Nordic countries. We work with responsible manufacturers and material users.

Globe Hope

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 invented 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.

From discarded textiles to recycled products since 2003

In 2003 we started using textiles from institutions such as the armed forces and hospitals in our design products for consumers.

FromSince 2005 we started working with companies to produce image and corporate products from their own waste textiles.

In 2018 we developed the Zero Waste service concept for companies, recycling all their waste textiles for maximum resource efficiency.

In 2021 we have developed the Zero Waste concept into a comprehensive partnership. Our network now includes several end points for the recycling of discarded textiles.
