For Habitu, protection goes beyond the workplace and extends to the environment around us. Safeguarding it is an integral part of our corporate commitment to combining people’s safety with respect for the places that shape our identity.
We’ve reduced our environmental footprint thanks to an advanced system that combines technology, high-quality washing and a concrete focus on water resources. This is supported by continuous research into washing processes and the use of Ecolabel-certified detergents, designed to minimise chemical agents in the water.
We save water and energy in every washing cycle thanks to state-of-the-art continuous washing machines and tank systems for hot-water storage.
We reduce water consumption and washing times by recovering cascade rinse water through modern hydro-extractors.
Through heat exchangers, we recover thermal energy from wastewater to preheat incoming water, significantly reducing energy consumption.ci.
The drying tunnel uses air and steam flows blowing against the workwear, reducing drying times and optimising energy use.
Customised automatic dosing systems monitor detergent quantities and help prevent waste.
Since 2025, our facilities have been powered by next-generation photovoltaic panels that generate 100% of our energy from renewable sources – a decisive step towards reducing emissions and making our services even more sustainable.

Our packaging is designed in multi-item formats to reduce the amount of packaging material used. We use CO₂-neutral certified film, produced by offsetting emissions through reforestation projects. The material is 100% recyclable.
The choices we make upstream, from heavyweight fabrics to garment reconditioning, are the result of a precise and ambitious vision: extend the life cycle of your workwear. Thanks to the expertise of our tailoring department, we reduce waste and the amount of textiles destined for disposal, combining environmental responsibility with the efficiency our clients wear every day.
When a workwear garment reaches the end of its life cycle, another begins. Through our upcycling partnership with REDO, used fabrics are given new life in the form of backpacks, bags and eco-fashion accessories. This ethical choice allows us to close the loop in style.
