SUSTAINABLE HAND PROTECTION THAT IS BETTER FOR THE PLANET

Used once and then disposed, an estimated 100 billion pairs of gloves (pre-pandemic) are tossed in landfills each year.  Laid out end-to-end, that’s enough to stretch to the moon and back 30 times.  Sadly studies have shown it can take 100-400+ years for gloves to biodegrade and it is expected to increase vastly with a growing population and lingering pandemic. The following gloves offer exceptional protection without damaging our ecosystems and they perform, fit and function as their regular glove counterparts.  Take the next step in sustainability and boost LEED points - consider a healthier glove choice for our planet. SW's EcoTek® Technology and SHOWA's Eco-Best Technology® (EBT) meet biodegradable test standards per ASTM D5511 . These sustainable technologies are some of the newest glove technologies available that's making a positive impact and diverting landfill, carbon footprints and reliance on fossil fuel based resources.  Be sure to consider bio-based knitted industrial work gloves featuring fibers made from recyclyed P.E.T. (rPET) water bottles and reclaimed polyester yarns!
