15. Work Gloves 1

Items and Evaluation Criteria Work gloves Evaluation Criteria M ust fulfill one of the following. 1 Polyester fiber products shall include polyester from recycled PET resins. At least 50 by weight of all natural and chemical fiber used excluding anti-slip coating shall be polyester from recycled pet resins. 2 Fiber comprised of post-consumer material makes up at least 50 by weight of the entire product weight excluding anti-slip coating. Factors for Consideration 1 Fibers other than polyester from recycled PET resin should also be made of unused fiber or reconstructed fiber excluding anti-slip coating. 2 Does not use bleaches. Note: 1. PET resins denote material that use recycled PET bottles and fiber products, etc. 2. Post-consumer material refers to material or product discarded after used as a product. 3. Unused fiber is created from short fiber produced during spinning i.e. linter. 4. Reconstructed fiber is created by decomposing and creating into linear form materials such as remnants from manufacturing of clothing, and products that are no longer in use. 2 Target Setting Guideline Ratio of the number of pairs of gloves meeting the criteria to the total number of pairs of gloves to be purchased in the fiscal year. 160
