Washing and maintenance of your Velfont products
You can contribute very easily to the environment by always washing your clothes at the lowest possible temperature. Whatever the composition of your garment, and even if it allows very high washing temperatures, if you wash it at low temperature you will be extending its useful life and contributing your grain of sand to the planet. Also avoid the use of chemicals such as bleach, due to its high level of contamination.
2. Production process and operations
LOCAL PRODUCTION
We contribute to the development of the local textile sector, making Km 0 garments. In addition, we work with local producers in the development of alternative raw materials to imported ones.
VERTICAL INTEGRATION
Direct control over all phases of the process. Total visibility from start to finish, from the procurement of raw materials to the shipment of the product.
OPTIMIZATION OF RESOURCES
Reduction in the consumption of raw materials thanks to an exhaustive control of waste during the production process and of batches/rotation of materials, with an impact on the volume of waste generated by obsolescence.
INSTALLATION OF SOLAR PANELS
Our plant has solar or photovoltaic panels that produce electricity from sunlight, an inexhaustible source of energy.
GREEN POWER
Improvement of the warehouse and duvet plant layout and padded protectors to minimize operator movements.
WORKSHOPS FOR LABOR REINSERTION
