The equivalent of more than 600 used plastic water bottles are re-purposed to produce one case of GripHero R100 hand-protection cartridges, with each case capable of protecting the health and wellbeing of up to 8,500 motorists.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

GripHero, the maker of the world\u2019s only static-safe hand-protection and on-the-nozzle dispensers for fuel pumps, has announced a major product breakthrough for 2021, with immediate availability.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

GripHero\u2019s green start to 2021\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

A first for the forecourt and hand-protection sector, GripHero\u2019s new 100% recycled static-safe hand-protection has been developed to enable forecourts to significantly cut their annual carbon footprint.<\/p>\n

With rapidly growing demand for best-practice hygiene and safety at the pumps \u2013 particularly following the coronavirus pandemic – protecting customers and the environment has become an increasingly high priority for both motorists and forecourt operators.<\/p>\n

At just 7.22kg of CO2<\/sub>e per 10,000 protectors, GripHero\u2019s \u2018R100\u2019 hand-protection cartridges are made entirely from 100% recycled plastics and have been independently verified to reduce the carbon footprint of forecourt hand-protection by over 87%* piece for piece. Combined with GripHero\u2019s single item release dispenser mechanism, which prevents blow-outs and clumps of protection being withdrawn, GripHero enables forecourt owners to slash their hand-protection carbon footprint by over 94%.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Hand-protection cartridges<\/strong><\/p>\n

The equivalent of more than 600 used plastic water bottles are re-purposed to produce one case of GripHero R100 hand-protection cartridges, with each case capable of protecting the health and wellbeing of up to 8,500 motorists.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

By developing and using ATEX certified anti-static materials, GripHero\u00a0<\/span>removes all chance of fuel vapour ignition at the pump, blocking the static spark between drivers and fuel equipment. This makes GripHero the only\u00a0<\/span>hand-protection system which is internationally permitted within the fuelling zone.<\/p>\n

Commenting on the development of the new R100, 100% recycled hand-protection material, Oli Yeo, Founder, Inventor and Managing Director of GripHero, said: \u201cFrom the very start, our goal has been to eliminate waste and to provide an alternative which means that forecourts can avoid the hugely negative environmental impact caused by both the manufacture and use of standard gloves.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Cutting waste<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cCutting waste through a fault-free dispenser, allowing only one item of hand-protection to be withdrawn at a time was our start-point. Today, we have completed the journey through the development of ATEX-Certified hand-protection created from 100% \u2018open-loop\u2019 recycled plastics. This not only complies with, but far exceeds the upcoming Single Use Plastics Directive. The result is\u00a0 the world\u2019s lowest CO2\u00a0<\/span><\/sub>footprint for hand-protection by a huge margin.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cNow, through the use of GripHero\u2019s R100 hand-protection cartridges, forecourt operators can protect their customers from bacteria, viruses, carcinogens, chemicals and foul smelling hands, at the same time as protecting the environment with a near zero hand-protection carbon footprint. We think that represents a great opportunity for forecourts to show customers how they are taking important steps to protect both motorists and the environment at the pump.\u201d<\/p>\n
