May 16, 2025

THE Climate and Conservation Consortium (CCC) has announced its role in a historic sustainability milestone with the publication of the first-ever Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for a safety glove on the International EPD System (IES) global platform.

This achievement not only underscores CCC's expertise in conducting Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) but also reaffirms Sri Lanka's growing role as a destination for sustainable business solutions.

This ground-breaking LCA, commissioned by Traffi Safe Ltd. (Traffi) — a global pioneer in sustainable hand protection — was carried out by CCC using internationally recognised methodologies. The findings were submitted for review under IES, managed by EPD International, and independently verified by a registered assessor before publication on www.environdec.com.

Traffi Safe is a pioneering hand protection specialist and the industry leader in cut-resistant work gloves. As the inventors of the 3 Colour TraffiSystem, the company continues to drive innovation and sustainability in hand protection solutions. Traffi was the first in the industry to calculate carbon emissions for its LXT (Life Extending Technology) Work Glove range and remains committed to transparency by ensuring all active glove models have independently verified carbon footprint values. The company is an affiliate of the British Safety Industry Federation (BSIF) and a proud member of the Registered Safety Supplier Scheme (RSSS).
