Granite Workwear is proud to announce that we’ve teamed up with Hardstaff Barriers whom it supplies PPE, and they’ve come on board as the first recycling and sustainable partner.
Granite talks about what that means and hears from both representatives from Hardstaff Barrier and Granite Workwear.
Protecting Workers And The Environment
Towards the end of last year, Granite introduced its Destruction and Recycling policy which means that, when the old workwear which users have purchased reaches its end of life, instead of just throwing it away, Granite asks them to return this to them. This is so that Granite can dispose of the old workwear in a safe and controlled manner. This is a completely free service that it provides and enables us to be more environmentally conscious with the workwear it provides.
Rather than this ending up in landfills, once the item is sent back, Granite has greater control of how it destroys the old and used workwear. This process generally tends to be recycled for it to be used time and time again.
Taking Sustainability Seriously, Together
We are not damaging the environment when the workwear is no longer fit for use"
Kathryn Cooper, the Service Manager at Hardstaff Barriers had this to say about their new partnership, “We are delighted that we can not only protect our workforce and customers through the use of quality PPE, but we can rest assured that we are not damaging the environment when the workwear is no longer fit for use.”
“We’re pleased to be teaming up with Granite Workwear to ensure that the whole process is safe, considered, and environmentally friendly from start to finish.”
Circular Economy
Simon Towle, Director at Granite Workwear said, “We started the service as we take sustainability and the environment very seriously.”
“As far as we know, we are also the first company to offer complete recycling and re-tasking of all workwear and PPE products that have been purchased from us, ensuring a fully circular economy and not just a recycling economy.”
