At Arco, we take our responsibility towards the environment very seriously, and we know that many of our customers are seeking to make more responsible choices too. We want to make it easy for you to shop more sustainably while giving you the confidence that the products we sell have been rigorously tested and had their claims verified.
We've spent some time researching and exploring schemes such as WRAP's Textiles 2030 and the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, as well as gathering feedback from several of our own customers. This has allowed us to group together some main themes that are relevant to your industry.
Our new Responsible Choice system helps our customers make informed selections when purchasing PPE, workwear and safety equipment. On eligible product pages, a Responsible Choice section will help you identify the important qualities of the product, while you can also filter your search results to get to relevant products more quickly.
Whether a product is biodegradable, contains recycled materials, or possesses the EU Ecolabel, we've captured this information in our product data to help make your selection easier. This list of possible features isn't exhaustive and as the market evolves, we'll keep our data up to date so you can stay informed and buy with confidence.
Shipping products from overseas can contribute to excessive greenhouse gas emissions. Reducing the distances that products travel helps to lessen the impact on the environment. These products are all manufactured in the UK to minimise the distance travelled.

To achieve net zero carbon emissions, the manufacturing process of a product needs to balance the amount of greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere with that removed from it. Products within this categorisation have been manufactured through a process that achieves this balance.
Some items are complicated or expensive to recycle through standard processes, however, looking out for this label will help you find products which can be returned to the manufacturer for recycling once they're finished with.
