GREENSBORO – Kontoor Brands, which owns the brands Wrangler and Lee, has announced reaching zero-waste designation for all its owned distribution centres in North America.
This means 95 per cent of waste from these facilities will be diverted from landfills through recycling, composting and reuse. The company, a spin-off from VF Corp, says what has been essential to this achievement is the efficient use of materials and conservation of natural resources.
Going forward, Kontoor Brands has set the ambitious target of reaching zero-waste designation across all its distribution centres globally.
