In Australia’s construction and mining industries, Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is indispensable for safety, but its disposal poses a significant environmental challenge. Safe Work Australia reports that these sectors generate substantial waste, with PPE contributing to landfill pollution and resource loss. End-of-life (EOL) solutions are critical to close the loop, and The PPE Group’s 360processed program - partnering with Upparel - provides a comprehensive recycling pathway. This initiative diverts PPE from landfills, upcycles materials, and offers transparent reporting, ensuring a sustainable afterlife for gear. Discover how 360processed addresses EOL issues and why it’s essential for sustainability managers.

In Australia’s construction and mining industries, ensuring workers wear Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) consistently is a constant challenge for Work Health and Safety (WHS) Managers. Non-compliance can lead to serious injuries, with Safe Work Australia reporting that up to 40% of workplace injuries are linked to improper or absent PPE use. One of the most significant pain points driving this issue is worker discomfort, which causes resistance to wearing PPE for long shifts in demanding environments. The PPE Group’s innovative brands—Force360, TRu Workwear, Graphex, and Bool PT—are designed to tackle this problem head-on by prioritising comfort without compromising safety.
