Responsible PPE Waste Programs

By their very nature, gloves, masks, gowns and other pieces of personal protective equipment are almost always destined for the landfill, but there's the opportunity to do better by the environment and RenuCycle launched to give every industry a simple, cost-effective solution for responsible PPE disposal. RenuCycle provides purpose-built collection containers that ship flat and are available in two sizes to accommodate different workspaces, and this breakthrough PPE waste management program accepts PPE from any brand. Once filled, businesses can send their collection container for recycling without additional logistics or specialized training.

"The launch of RenuCycle reflects something we've believed for a long time—that the PPE industry has a responsibility beyond the point of sale," said Zach Atwood of specialty PPE solutions provider Hourglass International.
