By developing solutions that take into consideration our planetary boundaries and contribute to people’s well-being.
We want to contribute to Girbau’s purpose and strategic goals, and furthermore, we strive to transform the industry because we aim at a future where laundry becomes a regenerative industry that gives back more than it takes. A future where laundry plays a key role in enabling textile circularity, reducing textile-related environmental impacts, and enhancing social well-being. That is also why we want to change the narrative and make visible the central role of the laundry in our society. And finally, but no less importantly, we want to foster a culture of innovation within Girbau.
Developing new ideas & expanding existing ones
Girbau LAB is a space for collaboration created to add value through innovation. It identifies and engages with the most relevant and innovative environments globally to collect, cocreate and develop all those initiatives, ideas, solutions and technologies that contribute to transform the industry and bring value to society at large.
