The sustainability agenda is set to remain one of the key challenges for the garden industry in 2024. Having made great progress transitioning to more sustainable packaging, with over 8 tonnes of plastic already removed from their supply chain, Spear & Jackson is now focusing on the sustainability of their tools. For spring 2024 S&J is introducing a range of sustainable products to their established Kew Gardens Collection.
Kew Eco-Kind Gloves
These new gloves are made with recycled polyester, each pair uses at least one recycled 500ml plastic bottle. The sustainable manufacturing process conserves 8-16ml of oil and 14-28g of CO2 compared to standard gloves production. Once they reach the end of their working life, the Eco-Kind gloves will biodegrade up to 40 times faster than typical landfill.
• Suitable for light-duty gardening jobs
• Flexible and comfortable with diamond embossed nitrile palms for a secure grip
• Available in small, medium, and large sizes
• Recycled Polyester backs with a water-resistant coating that is effective for up to five washes at 30°C.
• Competitively priced at £5.99.
