Together with ATG®, they’re proving that innovation in PPE doesn’t need to come at the expense of the planet. Mayo’s own operations reflect this commitment. Since 2022, solar panels installed at their Sydney head office and warehouse have helped reduce energy usage, complemented by on-site EV charging stations to support staff in making greener transport choices. They're also certified under Sedex’s SMETA 4-Pillar Audit, which assesses environmental practices, labour standards, and supply chain ethics.  | ## Gloves Designed with the Planet in Mind The sustainability story starts at the source. ATG® manufactures all of its gloves in-house, giving it full control over emissions, materials, and waste. Since 85% of a glove’s carbon footprint comes from manufacturing, ATG® has invested in solar infrastructure that now generates over one megawatt of power — cutting greenhouse gas emissions by 150 tons in its first year alone. ATG®’s [latest gloves](https://www.atom.com.au/promo/sustainable-range?brand=ATG)go a step further by incorporating **recycled polyester yarns** sourced from post-consumer materials. Certified by Control Union Certification BV, these fibres meet stringent sustainability and traceability standards. Each glove is also washable up to **three times** without losing its protective properties, extending product life, and keeping more waste out of landfills. Their production doesn’t go to waste either. Rubber offcuts are upcycled into playground mats and building blocks, which are donated to local communities, supporting practical circular solutions. | | --- | ## Certifications That Go Beneath the Surface ATG® gloves are made with non-toxic materials that meet the rigorous standards of European REACH regulations. They are certified free from harmful substances by Oeko-Tex Standard 100 and are dermatologically accredited by the Skin Health Alliance. These third-party validations ensure the gloves are safe for both users and the environment.   | ![OEKO-TEX logo](https://blog.atom.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/OEKO-TEX%20logo.png?width=122&height=172&name=OEKO-TEX%20logo.png) | ![ATG Reach Logo](https://blog.atom.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/ATG%20Reach.png?width=405&height=157&name=ATG%20Reach.png) | ![Skin Health Alliance Logo](https://blog.atom.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Skin%20Health%20Alliance.jpg?width=177&height=177&name=Skin%20Health%20Alliance.jpg) | | --- | --- | --- | ## The Sustainable ATG® Glove Collection Mayo offers an extensive line-up of ATG® gloves through ATOM, combining comfort, performance, and lower environmental impact.

They are also a member of the **Forest Stewardship Council (FSC)**, reinforcing their commitment to ethically sourced paper and cardboard packaging that protects biodiversity, fair labour, and forest sustainability. | ![Australasian Recycling Label](https://blog.atom.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Australasian%20Recycling%20Label.png?width=153&height=69&name=Australasian%20Recycling%20Label.png) ![APCO Logo](https://blog.atom.com.au/hubfs/logo-APCO%20Transparent.svg) ![Forest Stewardship Council Logo](https://blog.atom.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Forest_Stewardship_Council_(logo).svg.png?width=45&height=54&name=Forest_Stewardship_Council_(logo).svg.png) | | --- | --- | ## Responsible From Start to Finish Whether it's reducing transport emissions with EV infrastructure or enforcing ethical trade through the SMETA audit, Mayo’s internal operations reflect the same values that ATG® builds into every glove. Together, they are aligning manufacturing, packaging, sourcing, and social impact into one unified goal of a safer, smarter, and more sustainable supply chain.![gloves\_maxicut\_green\_transparent](https://blog.atom.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/gloves_maxicut_green_transparent.png?width=1000&height=1000&name=gloves_maxicut_green_transparent.png) Browse [ATG®’s eco glove range](https://www.atom.com.au/) or get the full story in our Sustainable Solutions brochure below.
