A-Rosa introduces eco-friendly uniforms for the crew
A-ROSA has recently launched a new line of eco-friendly uniforms for its nautical and technical crew, a significant step towards adopting more sustainable practices within the cruise industry.
These new uniforms were created in collaboration with Weitblick, a renowned company specializing in workwear, and are certified with the “Green Button,” a label that ensures compliance with high social and environmental standards in textile production.
This initiative not only reflects A-Rosa’s commitment to sustainability but also highlights the importance of a responsible approach to workwear production, an essential component of modern cruising. The uniforms are made from a blended fabric that combines recycled polyester and cotton sourced from responsible origins, reducing the environmental impact associated with the production of new materials.
The ‘Green Button,’ a German government-run certification, is a well-regarded sustainability label within the textile industry. It ensures strict compliance with social and environmental standards in textile production. To achieve this certification, companies must meet rigorous ecological and social criteria for their products and demonstrate accountability throughout their supply chain. Independent organizations verify adherence to these standards.
In this context, the introduction of eco-friendly uniforms by A-Rosa represents not only a concrete step towards reducing the company’s ecological footprint but also an important message for the entire cruise industry, encouraging other companies to reflect on their production practices and the importance of a more sustainable approach.
