Novotel Recycled Apron

Novotel: an apron made from recycled clothing

In collaboration with the Novotel brand (AccorHotels), CEPOVETT Group has collected, recycled and transformed old uniforms from Spanish and Portuguese hotels into restaurant aprons. The result of this pioneering initiative: 700 metres of fabric were obtained from 650 kg of used textiles and recycled polyester from plastic bottles, and 400 aprons were made, 275 of which were children's models. "This is an unprecedented industrial challenge for the professional textile sector, and a further step towards eco-socially responsible professional clothing", explains Marc Jacouton - Director of Sustainable Development and External Relations at CEPOVETT Group..

In addition to the ecological benefits, the Novotel brand wanted to go a step further by adding an educational dimension. These aprons, along with educational material such as colouring books explaining the manufacturing process and pencils, were distributed to the youngest hotel guests to raise their awareness of the environment and recycling.

Vice President, Sustainable Development AccorHotels


"At AccorHotels, we are committed to taking action every day to promote positive hospitality, by innovating with our partners and suppliers. The initiative carried out with CEPOVETT Group and our Novotel teams in Spain and Portugal fully illustrates this ambition to design new positive and responsible models together. Giving a second life to a product such as our used uniforms and transforming them into kitchen aprons represents a step forward in the circular economy, which is rewarding for our teams and engaging for our customers".
