To find the optimum balance of protection verses recycled content we have had to conduct many tests and trials. We needed to create something which would meet all the high testing standards arc flash PPE is subjected to, this was our priority, because if you\u2019re caught in an arc flash incident, the result could be life-ending, or life-changing as you are exposed to intense temperatures hotter than the sun.<\/p><p class=\"nitro-offscreen\">\u201cThere is absolutely no compromise on performance with the new range we have developed, by using off-cuts from our manufacturing process, we can recycle material we are certain about, because it is clean, unused and ours. We turn the fibres back into their original form and use them to make up to 20% of the raw material used to create the fabrics for this range.<\/p><p class=\"nitro-offscreen\">\u201cBecause the arc flash protection is inherent within the fibres of the ProGARM range, it isn\u2019t reduced as it goes through this recycling process and using this recycled content doesn\u2019t reduce the protection the clothing provides, ensuring maximum protection is maintained for the wearer.\u201d<\/p><p class=\"nitro-offscreen\">The range is available in three colourways \u2013 navy, high-vis yellow and a combined navy and high-vis yellow. It features coveralls, jackets, and trousers and like the rest of the ProGARM range is available in both men\u2019s and women\u2019s cuts.<\/p><p class=\"nitro-offscreen\">It\u2019s certified for standards covering arc flash (APC1, ELIM 8cal), fire resistance (EN11612, A1 + A2), welding (EN11611), anti-static (EN1149-5), and high visibility. So, it not only performs the way other arc flash garments do, but has materially less impact, a big plus for customers looking to increase the sustainability credentials within their own businesses.<\/p><p class=\"nitro-offscreen\">ProGARM manufactures the new range at their own facility in mainland Europe and products are transported by sea and land in consolidated loads to reduce unnecessary journeys. ProGARM products travel up to 60% less than product from other suppliers, to reach their UK destinations, \u00a0with deliveries also carefully planned to minimise mileage and carbon footprint. ProGARM reduced its number of deliveries by 10% in 2021\/22 by careful planning, it achieved this even while substantially growing its business and maintaining its industry-leading delivery timescales, which importantly are measured in days, not weeks.<\/p><p class=\"nitro-offscreen\">The range also benefits from sustainable, carbon neutral packaging, made from a plant-based polymer which is a waste product from the sugar industry, further improving the sustainability offer.<\/p><p class=\"nitro-offscreen\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"NzMwOjY2Nzc=-1\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-33327 lazyloaded\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-bjgaa.nitrocdn.com\/FWaFIfNdJbRdkOQfPSYtzyTpGsKYrTjl\/assets\/static\/optimized\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/55e14473b010f9adc3b8db10bd34169d.2022_Progarm_Sustainability_Location_40-300x213.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-bjgaa.nitrocdn.com\/FWaFIfNdJbRdkOQfPSYtzyTpGsKYrTjl\/assets\/static\/optimized\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/55e14473b010f9adc3b8db10bd34169d.2022_Progarm_Sustainability_Location_40-300x213.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn-bjgaa.nitrocdn.com\/FWaFIfNdJbRdkOQfPSYtzyTpGsKYrTjl\/assets\/static\/optimized\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/84e76bd63998db56694ddde345af9db1.2022_Progarm_Sustainability_Location_40-1024x727.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn-bjgaa.nitrocdn.com\/FWaFIfNdJbRdkOQfPSYtzyTpGsKYrTjl\/assets\/static\/optimized\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/7afc628f1793533d3aee860bc95b2936.2022_Progarm_Sustainability_Location_40-768x545.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-bjgaa.nitrocdn.com\/FWaFIfNdJbRdkOQfPSYtzyTpGsKYrTjl\/assets\/static\/optimized\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/44b70049c3711f129db0276905c9193e.2022_Progarm_Sustainability_Location_40-1536x1091.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn-bjgaa.nitrocdn.com\/FWaFIfNdJbRdkOQfPSYtzyTpGsKYrTjl\/assets\/static\/optimized\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/11ef19301b2ed5c5b835fb34fe2bd1c2.2022_Progarm_Sustainability_Location_40-2048x1454.jpg 2048w\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"213\" \/>This is not the first sustainability venture from ProGARM, who have recently launched several activities to improve sustainability for their own business and those of their customers. \u201cReducing the impact that we, and our products have on the planet is a priority for our business.\u201d says Nathan Bricknell General manager of ProGARM.<\/p><p class=\"nitro-offscreen\">\u201cOur commitment to being a more sustainable business means not only being at the forefront of the technological design and manufacture, but also making sure our products and business practices have a positive impact on both people and the planet. We\u2019ve made great leaps in the past couple of years, but we know we still have a way to go, and we are dedicated to getting there in the most sustainable manner. It\u2019s not an easy road to take, but by making tough decisions along the way, we can be a driver of change both in our business and our industry for the better. We also believe that it is our responsibility to enable our customers to make better choices too. Which is why we also recently introduced ProGARM RECYCLE\u201d<\/p><p class=\"nitro-offscreen\">The businesses\u2019 new recycling initiative was developed to prevent ProGARM garments being part of the 350,000 tonnes of textiles that go into landfill in the UK every year, by offering every UK customer the ability to return their PPE to ProGARM at the end of its life for reprocessing.<\/p><p class=\"nitro-offscreen\">Inspiringly, it is not just ProGARM own garments that customers are able to return, but any end-of-life PPE garments that they need to dispose of. All items are then recycled and re-used for other purposes, avoiding landfill, and helping feed into a circular economy.<\/p><p class=\"nitro-offscreen\">To allow ProGARM to offer this sustainability enhancing service, they have partnered with an industry-leading textiles recycling company who are committed to sending zero textiles waste to landfill. Their partner is certificated to ISO9001 (Quality), ISO14001 (Environmental) and ISO45001 (H&amp;S), this compliments ProGARMS own ISO9001, 14001 &amp; 27001 certificate.<\/p><p class=\"nitro-offscreen\">To ensure that their service fits their wide variety of customers, from small single sites to multi location corporations, they have ensured that ProGARM RECYCLE has a returns and collection ability that scales per individual requirement, allowing options from ad hoc single boxes to 1100L bins collected every week.<\/p><p class=\"nitro-offscreen\">And as many customers have branded PPE recognisable to, and trusted by the public, ProGARM have established a route that guarantees that there is no danger of identifiable PPE getting into the wrong hands, protecting vulnerable members of the public, and the brands themselves. ProGARM RECYCLE works in accordance with BS EN: 15713-2009 Secure Destruction of Confidential Material Code of Practice ensuring all branded items are shredded and de-badged the moment they hit site safeguarding any vulnerabilities.<\/p><p class=\"nitro-offscreen\">Even more impressive it\u2019s not just fabric garments that can be recycled through the ProGARM service, but all aspects of your usual PPE or general workwear can be returned, this includes, boots, gloves, safety glasses and helmets, nothing goes to landfill.<\/p><p class=\"nitro-offscreen\">ProGARM even provide a service option to their customers that allows them to extend the life of their PPE garments, before disposing and recycling even becomes an option. In 2021 ProGARM created the first repair programme for arc flash PPE, which helps with sustainability by making minor repairs to garment components such as zips and fastenings to enhance the longevity of every garment.<\/p><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"NzMwOjExMDIy-1\" class=\"alignright wp-image-33329 size-medium lazyloaded\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-bjgaa.nitrocdn.com\/FWaFIfNdJbRdkOQfPSYtzyTpGsKYrTjl\/assets\/static\/optimized\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/a897f4f9d3717ed6411fa3dcf3df85cd.2022_Progarm_Sustainability_Location_44-300x169.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-bjgaa.nitrocdn.com\/FWaFIfNdJbRdkOQfPSYtzyTpGsKYrTjl\/assets\/static\/optimized\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/a897f4f9d3717ed6411fa3dcf3df85cd.2022_Progarm_Sustainability_Location_44-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn-bjgaa.nitrocdn.com\/FWaFIfNdJbRdkOQfPSYtzyTpGsKYrTjl\/assets\/static\/optimized\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/f38b095f5810e268855077592637f49d.2022_Progarm_Sustainability_Location_44-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn-bjgaa.nitrocdn.com\/FWaFIfNdJbRdkOQfPSYtzyTpGsKYrTjl\/assets\/static\/optimized\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/b59338edbc60ccb9d2cf9e2e3a99ea9e.2022_Progarm_Sustainability_Location_44-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-bjgaa.nitrocdn.com\/FWaFIfNdJbRdkOQfPSYtzyTpGsKYrTjl\/assets\/static\/optimized\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/6b9d344f0da2286745b9cec4df7f815d.2022_Progarm_Sustainability_Location_44-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn-bjgaa.nitrocdn.com\/FWaFIfNdJbRdkOQfPSYtzyTpGsKYrTjl\/assets\/static\/optimized\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/e5a6dfa696321a9dd0ee6e76409ab16a.2022_Progarm_Sustainability_Location_44-2048x1152.jpg 2048w\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" \/><\/p><p class=\"nitro-offscreen\">With arc flash clothing, even a small rip which happens during the rigorous workday of the wearer would mean it no longer offered the life-saving protection needed and would mean it had to be thrown away. The combination of ProGARM\u2019s focus on durability and the option for small repairs to fastenings means their range can lasts longer. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p><p class=\"nitro-offscreen\">While buyers and procurement teams, struggle to achieve sustainability around arc flash protective clothing, ProGARM are committed to continuing the development of simple effective ways for customers to make an impact on their own sustainability goals and pushing the industry to achieve more.<\/p><p class=\"nitro-offscreen\">ProGARM\u2019s new sustainable range is available through distributors.
