Sustainability Safety and PPE Guide

What is Sustainable PPE?

Sustainable PPE is PPE that either has physical or chemical properties that offer adequate protection to the end user while also being eco-friendly. Sustainable PPE is a great alternative to traditional PPE for businesses that are environmentally conscious but still want to achieve their ultimate goal of protecting the end user. Stauffer offers a broad range of sustainable PPE and is happy to provide you with the knowledge you need to choose the right gear. 

Examples of Sustainable PPE

Stauffer offers a wide variety of sustainable PPE. Biodegradable gloves are one of the more well-noted sustainable products in the industry. These gloves contain properties that attract enzymes in the coating of the gloves and break down the glove when it enters the landfill. This significantly reduces the breakdown time from 100 years to only two. Other examples of Biodegradable PPE that Stauffer sells include: 

· Hand and Toe warmers

· Foam handwash with plant-based ingredients

Sense5 Bio

Sense5 Bio is Stauffer’s latest upcoming edition to the Sense line of disposable Nitrile Gloves. Our 5-mil forest green disposable glove comes with the ingredients necessary for biodegrading while still offering the same protection and comfort as our other Sense line of disposable Nitrile gloves!

Terracycle Program

Stauffer Glove and Safety have partnered with Terracycle to offer end users a great alternative to throwing out one-time use and disposable PPE. The program offers recycling boxes that can be shipped to Terracycle-specific recycling facilities around the nation and helps reduce the waste of disposable gloves, masks, and earplugs!
