Circular economy

At Oroel, as the leading Spanish manufacturer of protective clothing, we have decided to take a further step in our commitment to protect and equip people in a comfortable, functional, durable way and with an attractive design. In this way, we extend this commitment, definitively highlighting our respect for the environment and for a sustainable and better world.

Oroel closes the circle is our project to integrate the design and manufacture of protective clothing into the parameters of the circular economy, without losing, in any case, the essence of our company: knowledge, flexibility and profitability.

After 40 years leading the protective, labor and image clothing sector; and backed by a business trajectory of sustainable growth and vision of the future needs of our sector, we offer our customers, and the protective clothing market, ECOROEL, our particular commitment to responsible and sustainable management, which we have developed under the following parameters:

  • Reducing polluting waste in the design phase and considering the impact
    environmental impact of a product throughout its useful life.
  • Increased the time of use of the products. Reuse. Reparation. Maintenance
  • Increased recovery and recycling, reducing the use of new raw materials.
  • Effective use of natural resources, avoiding and reducing the use of non-renewable resources.
    In the same way that in our trajectory throughout these 40 years, we have been pioneers in such important milestones as the certifications of technical clothing, the achievement of ISO 9000 as a quality certification and the development of renting as a modality of use of our clothing, the time has come to be recognized as the first technical clothing manufacturing company to develop and implement a strategic Circular Economy plan based on four main axes:
