Your Safety is our Priority. It’s all part of our Freedom in Full Gear Promise.
Today marks a significant step towards this goal: our partnership with H7, united in our dedication to safety and sustainability.
Our Shared Mission:
Together with H7, we’re redefining hand protection and employee safety while preserving the planet. Our joint mission is simple yet profound: Experience the future of workplace safety with Liberty Safety | H7. ECODEXTM gloves are engineered with innovative technology and deliver optimal performance, ensuring unmatched hand protection in every work environment. We redefine excellence by prioritizing sustainability through eco-friendly manufacturing processes, building a greener future.
Introducing Air-Urea™: New Innovative Technology:
Air-Urea™ coating technology is a revolutionary advancement in hand protection. Air-Urea is an eco-friendly water-based coating (consisting of 70% water) that replaces solvents found in other gloves, such as DMF, Butadiene, and Ailine, with WATER. This eliminates the need for a wash process and ensures no harmful chemicals are absorbed through the skin, protecting both people and the planet.
Key Features of Air-Urea™:
- Enhanced Grip & Dexterity: Air-Urea™ technology is engineered to replicate the natural feel of the bare hand with each wear, resulting in enhanced grip and dexterity.
- Exceptional Cushioning & Ventilation System: Designed to reduce fatigue and improve job performance, Air-Urea™ offers exceptional cushioning and ventilation, ensuring comfort throughout extended wear.
- Water & Oil Resistant Coating: Air-Urea™ delivers superior protection against wet and oily applications, optimizing productivity and safety across diverse work environments.
Glove Manufacturing: Environmental Impact and Challenges
In traditional manufacturing processes, the journey from raw materials to finished products often leaves a significantly negative environmental impact. This reality is particularly stark in industries like glove production, where industrial wastewater is a byproduct of the manufacturing process.
Did You Know? On average, a single production line can generate a staggering 1,000 tons of industrial wastewater monthly. Despite rigorous wash cycles aimed at removing harmful residues, these substances can persist, leading to water contamination and potential health hazards.
Understanding Industrial Wastewater
Industrial wastewater refers to the contaminated water produced as a byproduct of industrial processes. It typically contains pollutants, such as chemical solvents, which pose risks to our health and the environment. When untreated or inadequately treated wastewater flows into aquatic ecosystems, it causes water pollution. This pollution can adversely affect marine life, contaminate drinking water sources, and degrade water quality for recreational and agricultural purposes.
An indirect consequence of industrial wastewater is its role in increasing CO2 levels during treatment. In many wastewater treatment facilities, microorganisms break down organic pollutants through aerobic decomposition, releasing carbon dioxide (CO2) as a byproduct.
Additionally, industries generating large volumes of wastewater often require significant energy inputs for treatment processes. The combustion of fossil fuels to meet these energy needs releases CO2 and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, exacerbating climate change and global warming.
Embracing the Air-Urea™ Movement with the 4 P’s
At Liberty Safety | H7, we recognize the urgency of addressing these challenges. That’s why we’ve embraced Eco-Friendly Coated Safety Gloves centered around the 4 P’s: Protecting People and Preserving the Planet.
- How do we Protect People? By replacing toxic solvents with water, we eliminate the need for industrial laundering processes. This protects against carcinogenic exposure, skin bleaching, and other health concerns, ensuring our loved ones return home safely.
- How do we Protect the Planet? By eliminating industrial wastewater, we reduce our carbon footprint, allowing us to mitigate the impact of climate change and transition towards a safer, greener future.
