Traffi Safe launches world’s First Carbon Neutral Disposable Gloves
View(s):Traffi Safe Ltd, industry leaders in the sphere of hand protection and pioneers of the colour-coded safety glove system, has once again demonstrated its commitment towards making the earth a safer planet by launching the first ZeroCarbon® Certified Disposable Rubber Gloves in the world.
Already equipped with numerous sustainability certifications including ZeroCarbon® Certification for their Organisational Operations as well as Certified Carbon-Inset® for another line of gloves in their range, Traffi is no stranger to the cause of a sustainable future.
Traffi Safe worked with The Carbon Consulting Company (CCC), one of South Asia’s leading Integrated Sustainability Solutions Providers, to assess the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions of their TD02 Sustain Tri Polymer Disposable Glove, CCC said in a media release.
This comprehensive Product Carbon Footprint study encompassed all applicable emissions during the ‘Cradle to Gate’ life cycle stages of the selected glove that included Raw Material Extraction, Upstream and Downstream Transportation, and Manufacturing, with plans to extend the scope to include the remaining stages of Distribution and Retail, Consumer Use, and finally End-of-Life Disposal, in the near future.
Following the assessment, Traffi Safe retired a matching number of Carbon Credits from a registered project to bring the total Carbon Footprint of a selected volume of gloves down to net zero.
TD02 Sustain is a tri polymer disposable glove, which means only a small portion of the disposable glove is made up of synthetic rubber (nitrile), and therefore, the percentage of petrochemicals released into the atmosphere is significantly lower than that of a standard nitrile disposable glove. It uses 85 per cent less energy per tonne to process natural rubber compared to their counterparts resulting in a lower Carbon Footprint, and a 25 per cent increase in stretch and comfort leads to less hand fatigue as well as being cooler to the skin thanks to the new 3TP Technology.
The gloves are manufactured in Sri Lanka using a higher percentage of locally sourced raw materials.
