Sustainability Report 2026: How Termini Sources Materials and Reduces Waste
Hook: Sustainability is no longer a marketing line item — in 2026 it’s an operational imperative. This report outlines where we’ve made progress and where we need to do better.
Progress highlights
- Increased recycled-content in core textiles to 48%
- Expanded local repair partners across three continents
- Launched a take-back program for end-of-life foam and hardware
Materials and alternatives
We evaluated palm oil derivatives in waterproofing and switched to sustainable alternatives where performance and lifecycle impacts aligned. For sector context, reports on sustainable oils and palm oil alternatives show how brands make substitution decisions.
Energy and manufacturing footprint
We invested in on-site energy efficiency and explored industrial microgrids with partners to reduce peak energy consumption. Case studies on industrial microgrids provide real savings examples and resilience benefits for manufacturers.
Packaging and logistics
Packaging is now 82% recycled or reusable. We tested pooled vs segregated vaulting for high-value returns in our distribution center and found pooled logistics acceptable for short-term stock; for long-term storage we prefer segregated options. If your operation manages high-value inventory, storage comparisons are useful reading.
What’s next
- Move toward certified recycled trims and hardware
- Publish supplier-level energy consumption
- Extend repair partnerships to 20 additional cities
Transparency and trust
We commission third-party audits and publish summaries. Transparency is essential to avoid greenwashing — readers can consult broader analyses on corporate sustainability claims and alternatives in fabric selection guides.
Closing: Sustainability is iterative. We invite feedback and collaboration from partners and customers to accelerate progress.
