COVER STORY
A HANDY, SUSTAINABLE SOLUTION
Tilsatec as a business is on a journey; one that’s never finished. Working towards positive change across manufacturing, logistics, energy consumption, recycling and raw materials to deliver high performance hand protection which enables customers to reduce their carbon footprint and take energy intensive products out of the supply chain.
EnVision is the umbrella under which our sustainability program sits, and it’s underpinned by our three key pillars: People. Planet. Protection.
PEOPLE As a member of Sedex we are committed to being
a responsible business, sourcing responsibly and improving ethical standards and working conditions within the supply chain. All our manufacturing sites globally adhere to the Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audit (SMETA), but we also have our own stringent standards and criteria we set.
PLANET Utilising our yarn engineering experience, we aim to
replace virgin synthetic materials with recycled and/or plant-based yarns.
We’re removing single use plastic and moving to FSC certified packaging and print materials and working to become carbon neutral by 2026.
PROTECTION The EnVision glove range has been designed to provide
end users with a credible, viable more sustainable alternative to their current hand protection that doesn’t mean compromising on protection, comfort or significantly higher prices.
As a conscientious PPE manufacturer, we recognise the need to continually look at the raw materials used in our products, opting for bio, plant-based, or recycled yarns where possible.
Bio-based Dyneema is the first ever bio-based ultra- high molecular weight polyethylene fibre, reducing reliance on fossil fuel-based resources. All bio-based Dyneema fibres have the exact same characteristics and performance as conventional Dyneema. Made from trees (a bi-product of pulp and timber) this is known as the mass balance approach, certified by ISCC (International Sustainability & Carbon Certification).
Carbon emissions are reduced by over 600 grams for every pair of gloves made with bio-based Dyneema fibre.
The EnVision glove range delivers cut resistance to level A, level C and level F, providing protection for a number
