TD02 SUSTAIN: THE WORLD'S FIRST CARBON NEUTRAL DISPOSABLE GLOVE

WE'RE ON A MISSION TO REDUCE HAND INJURIES, COSTS, WASTE AND CARBON EMISSIONS. 

Are you looking for a disposable glove that is a more sustainable option to traditional nitrile gloves? We have the solution with our new tri polymer blend disposable glove -TD02 Sustain. 





SO, WHY SHOULD YOU USE TD02 SUSTAIN OVER NITRILE DISPOSABLE GLOVES?

  • It's the world's first carbon neutral disposable glove!
  • Traditional nitrile gloves can take over 100 years to biodegrade on landfills. TD02 biodegrades by an impressive 82% within 90 days
  • Industrial compostable
  • Changed the ingredients of traditional nitrile disposable gloves, which have a heavy carbon footprint, to a far lighter and more sustainable and measurable one
  • Many disposable gloves are made in China which is the world’s biggest greenhouse gas polluter and has a greater downstream shipping CO2e footprint for UK customers. TD02 is made in Sri Lanka where we use a high content of raw material sustainably produced locally within our supply chain, resulting in a lower carbon footprint within production
  • TD02 Sustain is a tri polymer disposable glove meaning only a small portion of the disposable glove is made up of nitrile, this means that the percentage of petrochemicals released into the atmosphere is significantly lower than that of a nitrile disposable glove. 85% less energy is used per tonne to process natural rubber compared to synthetic rubber (nitrile)
  • Recyclable packaging

Did you know we've created the world's first carbon neutral safety glove range?

Choosing the LXT range from Traffi means that you are selecting a high-quality product that is certified carbon neutral, this covers raw material, knitting, manufacturing, shipping to the UK and on to the customer delivery point.This means that this product range has zero negative impact on the environment, to the point of delivery. This helps to reduce your carbon footprint and when you come to measure your own business carbon footprint, we've already taken care of hand protection for you.

CARBON NEUTRAL COMPANY

WE'RE ON A MISSION TO REDUCE HAND INJURIES, COSTS, WASTE AND CARBON EMISSIONS.

We disrupted the old normal firstly by introducing the Traffi 3 colour system which revolutionised hand safety. Now we are being really definite in our use of green - the Traffi Head Office & Operations became certified carbon neutral on 20th September 2020.

We’ve measured everything we do as a business, from production to packaging, from sea and air freight to staff mileage, from energy usage to our delivery mileage and a whole load more.

Then, working with the Carbon Consultancy Company, we calculated our annual negative impact (GHG footprint) to the environment in metric tonnes of CO2. To compensate, we’ve funded a local energy project alongside our production factories in Sri Lanka to offset our company operational footprint to zero.

The output of this is that as a company, Traffi, and our activities are certified by the Sustainable Futures Group to reduce our negative impact on the environment. Along the way, we kept in mind the United Nations 17 Goals to Transform our World.
