Innovation at Your Fingertips: The EnviroTouch Glove

Is the PPE on your site protecting your people - and the planet? At Bryson, we believe innovation means more than performance alone. That's why we've launched the EnviroTouch Glove: a smarter, greener alternative that aligns with your ESG goals without compromising on cut-level protection, comfort, or durability. Made with 10% recycled polyester fabric, it's proof that better PPE can be better for the planet, too.
And when safety means staying connected? Touchscreen-compatible fingertips eliminate the risk of gloves being removed (and not put back on) to answer calls and use handheld devices. Prevent hand injuries before they happen — our gloves work with handheld devices, so there's no need to take them off. It's one more way the EnviroTouch Glove puts smart protection in your hands.
Worried about workers taking gloves home to wash? You should be. When gloves are washed off-site, you need reassurance they'll still meet safety standards the next day. The EnviroTouch Glove is certified for up to three home washes at 40°C, retaining its cut protection while extending the product's usable life.
Do three washes really make a difference? Absolutely. With each glove reused instead of replaced, you're not only reducing procurement costs but also cutting delivery emissions. In fact, reusing gloves just three times can save around £224 in operating costs and 1.1 kgCO?e in emissions - per site.
Sustainability and Protection Go Hand-in-Hand
The Bryson EnviroTouch Glove delivers serious protection and planet-friendly innovation — combining cut resistance, dexterity, comfort, and sustainability in one game-changing glove.
- Cut protection with certified durability: Rated to EN388:2016 + A1:2018, including Cut Level E performance, the glove is ideal for sharp, high-risk tasks. A reinforced thumb crotch adds extra durability at stress points, extending lifespan and reducing waste.
- Smartphone ready, no glove removals, no downtime: Fully touchscreen-compatible, so your teams can access digital tools or respond to messages without removing their gloves - maintaining protection without disruption and preventing hand injuries before they happen.
- Lightweight comfort, all-day fit: The 15-gauge breathable liner offers a flexible, ergonomic fit that supports long hours of wear without hand fatigue, even in warm or high-exertion environments.
- Enhanced grip & wet condition control: A foam micro nitrile coating ensures reliable grip in wet, oily, or slick conditions, making it perfect for both detailed handling and repetitive manual tasks.
- Sustainable inside & out: Made with 10% recycled polyester yarns, packaged in plastic-free card sleeves, and washable up to 3 times at 40°C - aligning with the BSIF “Clean PPE” initiative and circular economy goals.
- Proven operational savings: Rewashing gloves three times can cut replacement orders by 75%, saving an estimated £224.46 in P2P costs and over 1kg CO? per user.

Sustainability in PPE is now a core requirement. With frameworks like the Construction Playbook and PPN 06/21 mandating carbon-conscious sourcing, the EnviroTouch Glove delivers both compliance and performance. Its extended lifespan reduces per-wear costs while helping meet ISO 14001 and Scope 3 carbon targets. A smart switch for greener, safer site operations.

Built for UK Sites
The EnviroTouch Glove isn't a one-size-fits-all solution. It was shaped by real insights gathered on the ground — through direct conversations with UK construction teams about the everyday challenges they face on site.
At Bryson, we believe innovation starts on site, not in the boardroom. That's why we created our Innovation Committee — to take real-world feedback from our customers and turn it into smarter, safer, and more sustainable product solutions.
The EnviroTouch Glove is a result of that process: practical innovation driven by those who use it most.
The EnviroTouch Glove is designed for versatility, making it suitable for a wide range of construction and fit-out applications from drylining and cladding, to manual handling, M&E installation, warehousing, and facilities management. Its robust build, reinforced thumb, and high tactile sensitivity make it ideal for tasks requiring dexterity, control, and long-lasting comfort.
Under the amended PPE at Work Regulations 1992 and the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, employers must provide suitable PPE for all workers - including those on short-term or casual contracts. The EnviroTouch Glove not only meets but exceeds these requirements, offering reliable mechanical protection, improved durability, and broad cross-trade adaptability. For procurement teams, it represents a smart, compliant investment in performance-focused PPE your teams will actually want to wear.
Trusted by Professionals: Real-World Validation
The early response to the EnviroTouch Glove has been overwhelmingly positive. Field tests on Tier 1 construction sites have praised the glove's:
- Incredible all-day comfort and lightweight.
- Highly responsive touchscreen fingertips ensure seamless and accurate handheld device use on-site, even in demanding conditions.
- No need to remove for using handheld devices significantly reduces hand injury risk.
- Retained performance after multiple washes.
It's already becoming a preferred choice on environmentally focused projects, including those implementing BREEAM, Considerate Constructors Scheme and ISO 14001 frameworks. With hand injuries still a leading cause of LTIs on UK worksites and environmental standards rising, this is exactly the kind of innovation that sets the standard moving forward.
