Unigloves launches sustainable glove range

Unigloves is holding its hands up as an eco-champion with the launch of a brand-new sustainable glove range manufactured using recycled plastics.

The new Nitrex RP sustainable glove range offers protection whilst reducing the use of virgin oil-based polyesters, water, CO2 and plastic packaging. Ideally suited to automotive workers where cut and abrasion risks are prevalent, every product in the new range is tested and certified to EN388.

In addition to being manufactured using recycled plastics from bottles and food containers, every glove within the new Nitrex RP range is also certified to the OEKO-TEX Standard 100 confirming that every component of the product, from the fabric to the thread and accessories, has been rigorously tested against a list of up to 350 toxic chemicals. In addition to offering high levels of comfort and flexibility, the use of durable palm coatings including environmentally friendly water-based PU and nitrile, allows enhanced dexterity and flexibility to reduce hand fatigue. Four gloves out of the five within the range are also touch screen compatible.
