WasteNot™ is yarn that is made from recycled plastic PET (polyethylene terephthalate – a form of polyester) bottles. Plastic bottles made from PET are recycled and turned into polyester to make our sustainable gloves. These gloves help the environment without the compromise in quality and performance. WasteNot™ yarn is Global Recycled Standard certified.
Reclaim™ additive enhances product biodegradability in landfill conditions. Reclaim™ additive attracts microbes, which enables products to breakdown and biodegrade into biogas. The biogas is harnessed by modern smart landfills to create energy, such as electricity, and complete the cycle for a circular economy.
Watson Gloves saw an opportunity to elevate the industrial PPE industry and be a market innovator by using recycled materials in winter glove lining. Industrial workers can go through numerous pairs of gloves each year due to rugged daily use, and the used products end up in landfills. In collaboration with 3M, Watson Gloves now includes Recycled Thinsulate lining in many winter styles, bringing sustainability to the job site without compromising warmth or performance.
