Fraklip fra metervarer går til fremstilling af recyclede produkter , og størstedelen af koncernens jersey-produkter fremstilles af Øko-tex 100-certificerede metervarer . De tidligere trykte kataloger findes nu kun online for at belaste miljøet mindst muligt . - Det er ikke kun på produktniveau , vi er i gang med at omstille os til at tænke og handle mere miljørigtigt , det er hele vejen rundt i virksomheden , slutter Lars Sandgaard .
