While fresh water is considered a renewable resource, access to fresh water is not always obtainable. Making clean fresh water a precious resource in many regions. We understand that clean water can be difficult to come by especially in developing countries.

Vytex technology leaves our products virtually free of allergy causing proteins and contaminates. By removing these proteins in the processing of Vytex, the products produced do not require additional rinsing and washing to remove residual proteins. In the case of manufacturing of gloves 66% less water is used when switching to Vytex than with conventional latex.

Vytex remains committed to sustainability with its products.
