Giving the environment a hand
It’s a given that protective gloves made with our Dyneema® material safeguard peoples’ hands, But what part does this material play in helping preserve the world’s resources?
Old-style protective gloves – made from cotton or aramids – often last just a few hours in harsh manufacturing environments before being thrown away. It’s extremely wasteful, not to mention expensive.
Gloves made with our Dyneema® on the other hand can last for weeks or even months (they're also machine washable). It makes them a far more efficient and sustainable alternative – not to mention cost effective.
As customer Mike Kissell of Choice Fabricators, Inc says: "Over the past year our company went from spending an average of $125,000 per year on gloves down to spending approximately $60,000 a year using the gloves made of the Dyneema® product. On top of this reduction in cost we also saw a 90% decrease in hand lacerations.” More>
