Certified B Corporation™ companies meet the highest verified standards of social and environmental performance, with impact across the whole business governance, including workers, community, customers and the environment assessed.

As the cases of COVID-19 continue to increase, the pandemic is impacting the environment in addition to our lives. The use of PPE is increasing exponentially, and it is essential to minimize the environmental impact of these essential items through better quality products which reduce usage and disposed waste. Considering the environmental impact of single-use personal protective equipment (PPE) is particularly important, as poor and often rejected quality gloves and other PPE are flooding the market from pandemic opportunists, polluting our environment.

How Eagle Protect Reduces PPE's Environmental Impact
Eagle is committed to improving the environmental impact of their customers through product usage reduction which results in less waste by the supply of better-quality products. Eagle's work and research into the environmental and health impacts of vinyl gloves versus the use of high-quality nitrile gloves has resulted in waste savings of over 222 tons in 2019 alone.
