Ropemaker Place Case Study
Ropemaker Place is a large, high-occupancy office building in London with a strong focus on sustainability and innovation. Already operating an advanced on-site waste segregation system through their long-standing Recorra partnership, the team wanted to extend its circular approach into procurement, starting with workwear for loading bay and operational staff.
The Challenge
Previously, workwear was sourced through a single supplier whose products did not align with Ropemaker Place’s sustainability ambitions or integrate with its circular systems.
The challenge was to provide high-quality, durable, and compliant workwear while enhancing sustainability, ensuring products coming into the building reflected the same environmental standards as materials being removed.
Their chosen solution also needed to fit seamlessly into existing ordering processes and operational routines.
The Solution
Recorra collaborated closely with Ropemaker Place to identify sustainable workwear alternatives for teams operating in the loading bay. Following an initial assessment of requirements, the solution focused on branded hi-vis vests that met both safety and sustainability standards.
Key features included:
- Garments manufactured using recycled materials, including recycled plastic bottles
- Dual branding alongside a clear recycled materials message
- Integration into existing operational orders, supplied on an ad hoc basis
Positioned as a natural extension of the recycling partnership, the workwear initiative links what is removed from the building with what is brought back in, supporting a closed-loop, circular approach. Deliveries are completed via zero-emission cargo bikes, aligning fully with Ropemaker Place’s low-carbon logistics objectives.
The Results
The introduction of sustainable workwear has strengthened Ropemaker Place’s circular model, extending environmental responsibility beyond waste management into procurement.
Orders remain flexible, adapting to operational needs, with the potential to expand into additional workwear categories over time.
Customer Feedback
Ropemaker Place continues to partner with Recorra as a trusted provider of sustainable solutions. The workwear initiative has been praised for its practical integration, clear sustainability credentials, and contribution to the building’s wider circular strategy.
