Embracing Sustainable Materials in PPE: Innovations for a Greener Future in Construction and Mining Thursday, 30 October 2025
As sustainability becomes a core priority in Australia’s construction and mining industries, the demand for eco-friendly Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is surging. According to the Australian Government’s National Waste Report published in 2024, the construction sector generates over 20 million tonnes of waste annually. The PPE Group is at the forefront of change, incorporating sustainable materials like recycled PET yarns in gloves, bio-based components in spectacles and goggles, plastic-free packaging with FSC-certified board, and durable designs that extend product life. Here’s how these innovations are transforming PPE while keeping workers safe onsite.
