Mechanix Wear has long been the trusted name in automotive, home improvement, and law enforcement – now, the company is also enhancing its offerings in the mining sector.
Investing in high-quality personal protective equipment (PPE) shouldn’t just about immediate safety – it should also be about long-term sustainability.
Product longevity
Quality PPE, like the gloves offered by Mechanix Wear, last longer and reduce the need for frequent replacements. Each pair of gloves saved presents a significant reduction in the environmental impact.
By minimising the frequency of shipments, Mechanix Wear reduces fuel consumption and lower their carbon footprint. Reducing total consumption means less energy used and waste generated.
Recycling and recyclable materials
Effective safety gloves can be made from recycled materials—and that’s exactly what Mechanix Wear has done. These gloves are being used right now by miners to protect against cuts and impacts, two of the most common hazards in the mining sector.
Then, once the gloves have reached the end of their service life, they’re recycled. Mechanix Wear has partnered with Upparel, Australia’s most trusted textile recycling company, thus aligning us with the Global Recycled Standard.
This 360-degree approach to sustainability means that every glove produced contributes to a healthier environment. By choosing Mechanix Wear, companies reduce their environmental impact while maintaining the highest standards of worker safety.
How can Mechanix Wear help?
Mechanix Wear assists its clients in setting up recycling programs, providing guidance on proper disposal, and offering take-back programs to ensure its gloves are recycled efficiently.
Protecting hands and the planet is not just a slogan for Mechanix Wear; it’s a core part of the company’s mission. By choosing Mechanix Wear, companies can be confident they are making a responsible and sustainable choice that benefits both their workers and the environment.
