Personal protective equipment (PPE) is undergoing a transformative era where sustainability is gaining equal significance next to its primary safety function. The International Safety Equipment Association’s (ISEA) recent study illuminates this shift, revealing that an overwhelming 80% of safety managers now factor in sustainability when selecting PPE, reflecting a broader industry trend towards environmentally conscious practices (ISEA Report, 2023).

Together, we can help elevate the industry for a more sustainable future.
