Damione Wright, Managing Director – Asia Pacific, Mechanix Wear
In an era of increasing environmental awareness, the role of personal protective equipment (PPE) must evolve beyond basic safety. In this session we will explore the critical intersection of performance, sustainability, and innovation in hand protection.
Starting with a startling statistic about PPE waste, Damione will challenge WHS leaders to rethink their approach to PPE procurement and disposal, ensuring that safety and sustainability go hand in hand.
Through real-world examples and data-driven insights, Damione will share how Mechanix Wear is leading the charge with innovative recycling programs and a vision for a circular economy in PPE.
Key Takeaways:
- Understand why safety, like sustainability, must be an unchanging core value, not just a shifting priority.
- Learn why cheap PPE ultimately costs more—not just financially but environmentally.
- Discover how Mechanix Wear’s partnership with Upparel is transforming used gloves into sustainable materials and reducing landfill waste.
- Be inspired to lead your organisation in adopting sustainable safety practices that protect both people and the planet.
