Pride and Joy will be showcasing new sustainable uniforms ranges made from recycled materials at this year’s Euro Bus Expo.

Jane Byrne, managing director of Pride and Joy and her team will be on hand to advise and assist operators in how to make their uniforms more sustainable using the very latest in recycled textile technology and also how operators can reduce the environmental impact of end of life uniforms.

Jane Byrne says, “We believe the bus and coach industry can take its sustainable travel credentials to the next level, and have been researching ways in which we can assist our customers in reducing its environmental footprint through effective management of textile waste.

“Whilst our suppliers have been developing some fantastic new products made from recycled plastic bottles, we too have been doing a lot of research into how uniforms can be disposed of in the most environmentally friendly way. We are looking forward to having lots of conversations at Euro Bus Expo to raise awareness of the impact of textile waste and to understand what our customers are currently doing with their old uniforms.

On the lead up to Euro Bus Expo, Pride and Joy is running a social media campaign to get people thinking about the sustainability questions around uniforms and textile waste. “We’ve called it Pride and Joy in progress, because we are on a journey to learning more, understanding how we can make a change collectively, but we can only do this with by working with our customers. This is us sharing our thought process as we move towards a more sustainable business model. EuroBus is an opportunity to talk to operators and hopefully find ways we can work together in reducing our collective environmental impact.”

“We’ve not seen many of our customers for a long time due to the Pandemic, and this is our opportunity to catch up with everyone.” Concludes Jane.
