Portwest® Planet AP18 Bio-Based Micro Foam Nitrile Coated A3 Cut Gloves

    Improve Sustainability-PET Bottle to Glove Concept!

Industrial work gloves can mean the difference between a having good day and a bad day. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor, statistics report more than 70 percent of workers experiencing hand injuries were not wearing work gloves at the time. And the remaining 30 percent of injured workers were not wearing the right type of glove.  Selecting and wearing the proper industrial safety gloves can be instrumental in preventing short and long term workplace injuries.

Unfortunately, we live in a plastic era. From the clothes we wear to the food we eat, plastic has become a staple for families, businesses and communities around the world. Given its prominence, and the fact that scientists estimate it takes somewhere between 450 -1,000 years to decompose, it is essential for us to seek better alternatives. With million tons of plastic entering our landfills and waterways each year, switching to sustainable options will help preserve our planet and reduce waste.
