Professionals set high standards for their workwear. Good quality of the raw material forms the basis of durable and comfortable workwear. Tricorp chooses the basic materials carefully and with a focus on a circular textile chain.

Tricorp workwear is designed in such a way that it allows safe working for as long as possible. The professionals likes to wear the clothes and feels comfortable in them: the workwear lasts a long time. That is the biggest gain in resource conservation. The raw materials and suppliers are carefully chosen. When choosing the material, no concessions are made on quality and comfort. Where possible, the most sustainable raw materials are selected.

If the clothing can no longer be worn, it is designed in such a way that the material and the model can be recycled.

Synthetic yarns are strong, colorfast and very suitable for workwear. Polyester is a smart synthetic raw material. For new designs of fabric with polyester, Tricorp opts for recycled polyester. This type of polyester is often made from used plastic (PET) bottles. Tricorp obtains the raw material from another chain to reuse in the textile chain. An open loop solution.

Part of the polyester used in Tricorp clothing comes from cut waste in the clothing production and from worn clothing. In the future, Tricorp hopes to be able to use more polyester obtained from worn clothing. In this way, the raw materials in the textile chain can be preserved. Tricorp closely follows the developments in mechanical and chemical recycling of worn clothing.

CoolDry® polyester is a yarn with a special yarn cross-section in the shape of a cloverleaf. This creates channels, which has the advantage that body moisture is transported to the outside of the garment, so that the body remains dry and does not cool down. A fiber that is widely used in sportswear, but also offers added value in workwear. Tricorp applies this in high visibility clothing and various T-shirts and polo shirts.

Comfort and a good fit are one of the most important requirements that a professional has for its workwear. Elastane yarn stretches well under low tension and returns to its original length. A few % (Lycra®-) elastane in the fabric ensures a permanent, good wearing comfort. Tricorp often uses this in their workwear, but also, for example, in the Jeans Premium Stretch.

A cloth can also be made more elastic by a special weave construction: mechanical stretch. Tricorp often uses mechanical stretch as a solution in work trousers.
