In a world where sustainability is no longer optional, understanding the true environmental impact of your PPE is vital. 
At Tilsatec, LCAs are a practical tool in product design and sustainability planning. As outlined in our 2025/26 Sustainability Report, we’ve taken tangible steps to measure and reduce the environmental impacts of our product range.

Our mission is to clarify the complexities of these standards to help you choose the appropriate solution for your needs.
