Work gloves can be important no matter the task. When working in the garden they can be beneficial to keep hands clean but also free from punctures and prickles. I recently found a glove that threw a new curve – consideration for what happens to the gloves after their useful life. Watson Quality Gloves, a Canadian conceived company thought about it.
From humble beginnings in 1918, John Watson and Wayne Stanley started a business selling hand crafted gloves to Vancouver’s dock workers. Over 100 years later, Watson Gloves has grown from a two-person storefront in Vancouver to become one of Canada’s largest distributors of quality gloves. Now selling products internationally with over 2,000 styles to choose from construction, to motorcycling, to gardening, and more.
Reclaim™ gloves provide the same performance and durability as regular gloves, but now better for the environment, as these sustainable gloves degrade in 5-10 years (in modern landfills based on ASTM-D5511 and ASTM-D5526 standards) compared to the 50-200 years it takes for regular gloves.
