The global apparel industry is notorious for its significant contributions to water pollution and high carbon emissions, consuming up to 93 billion cubic metres of water annually. Implementing sustainable practices in the apparel industry is crucial for reducing our environmental footprint and preserving natural resources, a mission that companies supplying uniforms to their employees can also embrace. With this in mind, Ultifresh was founded with the aim of not just providing sustainable solutions to garment production, but to every person and company, regardless of their industry or lifestyle.
With an average of 10,000 t-shirts sold daily, the brand’s SGS and Intertek certified (anti-odour and anti-bacterial) technology eliminates 99.94% of odour-causing bacteria upon contact, ensuring clean and fresh apparel for everyone. This fabric prevents microbial growth, allowing apparel to be worn longer between washes, which reduces water usage and extends the garment’s lifespan as a result.
Also, in addition to Ultifresh’s factory production being ISO 9001:2015 certified, it uses eco-friendly materials and manufacturing processes, saving 3-4l of water and 82.5g of CO2 emissions every time an Ultifresh t-shirt is reworn before being washed. By harnessing this, Ultifresh has transformed apparel care, allowing garments to be worn multiple times without frequent washing. This method significantly reduces water consumption and carbon emissions while promoting an eco-conscious lifestyle.
Incorporating eco-friendly uniforms and sustainable practices enables businesses to make substantial progress toward their ESG goals, lower energy consumption, and minimise waste. With over a decade of experience in the apparel industry, co-founder Frank Yap, alongside Gerald Eng, launched Ultifresh in 2018. Through their research, they discovered that reducing the need for frequent uniform replacements can cut water waste by up to 986 liters per year and lower carbon emissions by 21.4 kilograms annually.
“We are dedicated to creating apparel that is both comfortable and environmentally friendly,” said Frank Yap, Co-Founder of Ultifresh. “Our mission is to revolutionise uniforms and promotional clothing by combining innovative technology with sustainable practices. This exclusive offer is our invitation to collaborate and make a positive impact together.”
Renowned for its commitment to sustainability, Ultifresh has decided to cut their profits to just SGD$0.10 (RM0.30) per T-shirt exclusively for their distributors for their bestselling series, Ultifresh Performance, so that they can ensure sustainability is affordable for all.
To date, they have successfully catered to a diverse range of customers, establishing a strong presence in various industries. This includes automotive giants like Honda and Audi, tech leaders such as Samsung, Intel, and Meta, and other prominent brands like Maggi, Swatch, and Ambank Group.
Leading the charge in sustainable apparel, Ultifresh offers innovative solutions that help reduce corporate environmental impact. In today’s market, environmental consciousness is essential for consumers and businesses alike. Integrating sustainable practices into daily operations can not only boost revenue and profitability but also benefit the planet. For many businesses, the journey toward sustainability might begin with their uniforms.
