Sustainability
Partnering with Our Planet
At Auckland Apparelmaster, we believe sustainability isn’t an add‑on — it’s integral to everything we do. From the uniforms we launder to the delivery vans we drive, every decision matters.
Across our franchise network, we are working to reduce carbon emissions, conserve water, minimise waste, and shift to cleaner energy and transport solutions. We partner with local communities, industry bodies, and technology leaders to make real progress — not just good intentions.
Below you'll find our journey: the milestones achieved, the targets still to reach, and the actions that are turning our vision of a greener tomorrow into reality.
Auckland Apparelmaster has diverted around 11,600 kg of textiles from landfill in a year, preventing an estimated 40,600 kg of CO₂ equivalent emissions.
Our electric van fleet has replaced a portion of its diesel vehicles, saving an estimated 35,000 litres of fuel per year and reducing over 90,000 kg of CO₂ emissions per year.
Apparelmaster has switched from light fuel oil to sustainably sourced wood chips, cutting carbon emissions by over 120 tonnes a year and reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
Apparelmaster has invested in alternative fuel options, using biodiesel on site and in its vehicle fleet.
Reduction in CO₂ Emissions in 2025
Investing in energy and water efficient tech like Continuous Batch Washers using just 8 L of water per kg — with smart water recycling, heat recovery, and turbo spin systems that cut energy use even further.
At Auckland Apparelmaster, we believe sustainability isn’t an add‑on — it’s integral to everything we do.
