In an attempt to rid single use plastic from our supply chains and as a way of “protecting our planet”, Portwest®, a 120 year old global manufacturer of workwear, safety gear and PPE (Personal Protection Equipment) new to U.S.A.) has recently introduced a new range of Eco-conscious products referred to as Portwest® Planet'.

 

Sustainable Glove Shell
The Portwest® Planet portfolio of work gloves feature bio-based fibers created from 100% P.E.T. consumer plastic waste or bamboo viscose that’s blended with recycled polyester to create a comfortable, long-lasting glove shell.

• BAMBOO FABRIC:  Bamboo viscose is a natural textile made from the pulp of bamboo grass. Bamboo used to produce fabrics is a sustainable crop and easily replenished and capable of self-regeneration that requires no fertilizer to grow. Bamboo grows in depleted soil and helps return vital nutrients to the soil and most importantly, is biodegradable.

• P.E.T. PLASTIC:  The use of recycled polyester produced from P.E.T. bottles, requires fewer resources than that of new fibers and generates fewer CO2 emissions. And it can be recycled again closing the loop. In addition, diverting P.E.T. bottles from landfill reduces soil contamination, air and water pollution from toxic micro-plastic.
