JM’s sustainable product range is continuously extended by fabrics made of at least 80% recycled post-consumer polyester. 3-4 recycled 1.5 liter PET bottles are processed in one square meter of our Upcycling material. This helps to curb the worldwide pollution caused by plastic waste and recycling extends the life cycle of raw materials, minimizing the demand for virgin resources. The eco-balance of such processes is convincing; energy and above all water consumption are much lower than conventional chemical processing of fibers - a contribution to reduce the ecological footprint.
With a certification of the recycled content in our textiles, we aim to effectively support both our sustainability goals and those of our customers. In this way, we are committed to conserve natural resources and promote the qualification of our products for sustainable building programs, e.g. LEED and environmentally preferable purchasing programs. Junkers & Müllers is a proud member of the U.S. Green Building Council. SCS Global Services is a global leader in the field of sustainability certification, auditing and standards development. We chose SCS as our third-party certification body to evaluate and certify the recycled content in our textiles.
Recycled Content Certification by SCS Global Services verifies the percentage of pre-consumer or post-consumer recycled content based on analysis of the material inputs and the manufacturing process.
With growing awareness of global climate change, the demand for environmentally friendly, resource-efficient products will increase. For this Junkers & Müllers is well prepared with its wide range of Upcycling products and the Recycled Content Certification by SCS Global Services.
