Elis has been a circular economy player for more
than 75 years, due to the fact that its business model is
based on selling the use and reuse of a product, rather
than the linear approach of selling of a standalone
product. This is reinforced by the work we do to repair,
refurbish or recycle products to extend their life and
keep materials in use for as long as possible.
The services offered by
Elis are positioned as a
sustainable alternative to
linear consumption models,
helping to reduce emissions
generated and lower our
customers’ carbon footprint.
Compared to disposable
scrubs, the use of reusable
alternatives in healthcare
facilities reduces emissions
by 31% to 62 %, depending
on actual consumption.
The Thread
The use of workwear
maintained by Elis provides
a reduction in emissions of
up to 37% compared to a
purchase only solution, as well
as up to 48 % reduction in
water consumption due to
optimised industrial processes.
The use of cloth roller towel
dispensers reduces CO2
emissions by as much as
29% compared to
disposable paper towels.
