Since Traffi launched in 2008, we’ve painstakingly built a reputation for delivering high-quality safety gloves that not only protect workers but also adhere to rigorous environmental standards.
By achieving REACH compliance and certifications from the Global Recycled Standard (GRS) and the Recycled Claim Standard (RCS), we’re proud to have these values confirmed to consumers by various independent bodies. It’s easy to make claims in marketing materials, but trust is gained by demonstrating their validity and opening them up to scrutiny.
What is REACH Compliance?
REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation, and Restriction of Chemicals) is a comprehensive EU regulation designed to protect human health and the environment by regulating chemicals used in products. Being REACH-compliant means that a product is free from harmful substances and meets strict chemical safety guidelines.
Our gloves are manufactured without hazardous chemicals that could be harmful to the wearer, ensuring a safer working environment for end users – the people who are, when all is said and done, our most important stakeholders.
REACH compliance also ensures that the materials used in our eco-friendly work gloves do not pose a risk to the environment, from production through to disposal. By choosing REACH-compliant gloves, companies can safeguard their employees while reducing the potential for chemical-related environmental damage.
The Global Recycled Standard (GRS) Certification
The Global Recycled Standard (GRS) is an internationally recognized certification that verifies the recycled content of a product and ensures environmentally and socially responsible manufacturing practices throughout the supply chain. Achieving this accreditation confirms that the entire Traffi supply chain has been independently audited and approved.
Our GRS-certified safety gloves contain genuine recycled materials, and production adheres to the highest ethical and environmental standards.
Verified Recycled Content: GRS certification ensures that our sustainable safety gloves incorporate a substantial amount of recycled material—a minimum of 20%, though some Traffi ranges contain significantly more.
Sustainable Manufacturing: Certification covers environmental and social responsibility in production, including reduced energy consumption and ethical labor practices.
Lowering Environmental Impact: The use of recycled materials in our gloves helps minimize overall resource consumption. We have long positioned ourselves as the hand protection supplier of choice for those concerned about both safety and sustainability.
This certification demonstrates Traffi’s commitment to sustainability, ensuring our work gloves are produced with a minimal ecological footprint while maintaining industry-leading performance standards.
The Recycled Claim Standard (RCS) Certification
The Recycled Claim Standard (RCS) focuses specifically on verifying the recycled content in products. It ensures that recycled material claims are accurate and traceable across the supply chain.
RCS certification guarantees that all recycled materials used in Traffi’s gloves are properly tracked from the source to the finished product, providing customers with verified sustainability credentials. This involves audits that ensure recycled materials are correctly handled and documented, reinforcing responsible production practices.

Our REACH compliance and GRS/RCS certifications go beyond regulatory requirements—they reflect a broader commitment to both worker safety and environmental sustainability.
