Using protective equipment such as gloves and aprons in industry-specific environments is a reality. But spending a big budget on replacing them doesn’t have to be. Investing in a PPE recycle program can do wonders for the environment and your budget.
Cost Benefits of Recycling
Recycling is not only impactful on the environment; it also benefits your business’s budget. For example, when you don’t recycle but run a healthcare facility, you’re responsible for purchasing your employee’s protective materials—a massive inventory cost you’re strapped with. But when you take advantage of a laundering and recycling program, you’re cutting out the cost of purchasing new inventory. You’ll take on a recycling program fee but you’ll still save money in the long run.
Our waste stream management process will have a substantial impact on your business. Our customers reused nearly two million pounds of solid waste and more than 300,000 gallons of liquid waste. We owe those results to our three-step process:
- Products: Recycling solutions with an impact
- Process: Reducing clean time
- Pricing: Simplifying your assets
Environmental Benefits of Recycling
With COVID-19 still among us and a seemingly long road ahead, it’s clear that disposable gloves and masks are permanently becoming a part of our daily wardrobe. But once mask users are done, they cast off the unwanted protective gear and litter beaches and parks with it. In fact, more than 13,000 pounds of trash was picked up at Cocoa Beach, a popular Florida getaway south of Cape Canaveral, earlier this year. The extensive trash collection resulted from beaches opening up after months of lockdown due to the pandemic.
By investing in a laundering and recycling program, you’ll make a positive environmental impact and reduce the number of materials making their way onto beaches and into oceans, resulting in a effective environmental protection strategy.
Recycling also helps you work toward achieving your business’s green initiative by offering proper solutions for disposable products and giving you alternative product solutions, such as reusable absorbents and textiles.
PPE Recycle Program
Recycling your personal protective equipment (PPE) has never been more crucial than now. Litter and high-cost inventory are on the rise, but you can mitigate both by considering CLR’s PPE recycling program.
With CLR, you can keep your equipment in proper working order, save money on costly inventory, and make a positive impact on the environment.
Launderable personal protective equipment includes:
- Gloves
- Offering cleaning options for four different types
- Sleeves
- Providing solutions for cut-resistant and welder sleeves
- Aprons
- Supplying cleaning options for fire-resistant (FR) and denim aprons
- Jackets
- Offering cleaning options for FR jackets for several industries
- Vests
- Laundering options for safety vests
We also offer a cleaning option for reusable absorbents such as mats, shop towels, and rags. That way, you can save money by reusing the same industry-absorbent materials that continue to get the job done.
Launderable absorbents include:
- Mats
- Offering cleaning options for a variety of oil-absorbent mats
- Shop towels
- Supplying cleaning options for both red and white shop towels
- Rags

The CLR PPE recycle program saves our customers an average of 80% of the original purchasing cost.

Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD)
Another recycling program we offer is the Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) process for your daily products.
The ZLD treatment is designed to remove all liquid waste from a system or textile product. This discharge system aims to minimize wastewater and produce clean water, resulting in cost savings and positive environmental influences.
CLR’s treatment process consists of two steps:
- Pre-Concentration
- Evaporation/Crystallization
ZLD has attracted a lot of consumer’s attention over the past few years since ZLD both cleans products and treats the extracted liquid, leaving you with clean assets, fresh liquids, and the peace of mind that you’re supporting the environment.
