Union City, CA — [4/9/2026] — SW Sustainability Solutions announces that its PowerChem® PC-12WT100 EcoTek® Sustainable Nitrile Cleanroom Gloves have received the My Green Lab® ACT® Ecolabel 2.0 certification, a globally recognized program advancing sustainability in laboratory products.
The ACT Ecolabel is the first ecolabel for laboratory products providing transparent, third-party verified data to help scientists and procurement teams make sustainable purchasing decisions. Designed to bring Accountability, Consistency, and Transparency (ACT) to the scientific supply chain, the program delivers standardized, product-level environmental impact data.
A Recognized Standard for Sustainable Procurement
ACT Ecolabel 2.0 introduces a rigorous, science-based framework that evaluates products across key environmental categories, including manufacturing, energy use, packaging, and end-of-life considerations. It is increasingly used by procurement teams to support sustainability initiatives, including Scope 3 emissions tracking and supplier evaluation.
With more than 2,200 certified products globally, the ACT Ecolabel has become a trusted benchmark for organizations seeking credible, third-party verified sustainability data to inform purchasing decisions.
Verified Product Transparency and Environmental Data
As part of the ACT Ecolabel 2.0 certification process, the PowerChem® PC-12WT100 gloves were evaluated based on ACT Ecolabel criteria using manufacturer-provided data and third-party review, including:
- Chemicals of Concern: No substances identified above REACH SVHC reporting limits
- PFAS Screening: No PFAS identified above 0.01% (100 ppm) by weight, based on available product analysis
- Packaging: Packaging includes recycled/renewable content and is designed with recyclable materials, as reported under ACT Ecolabel criteria
- Manufacturing Facility: ISO 14001 certified with waste reduction and diversion practices
- Company GHG Tracking: Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions tracking with validated near-term reduction targets
This level of transparency supports customers who require verified, standardized environmental data—not assumptions or unverified claims—when evaluating products for sustainability performance.
High Performance for Controlled Environments
Beyond sustainability, the PowerChem® PC-12WT100 gloves are engineered for demanding cleanroom and laboratory applications where performance cannot be compromised.
Key features include:
- ISO 5 (Class 100) Cleanroom Compatibility
- Tested Chemical Resistance (ASTM F739-12 and EN 374 standards)
- Low Dermatitis Potential (LDP) for sensitive skin environments
- EcoTek® Sustainable Technology to support waste reduction initiatives
- SafeDon® Packaging System, reducing space by over 40% and cardboard waste by 20% compared to traditional packaging formats
- 1.5 AQL Quality Standard for reliable protection in critical applications
The gloves are widely used across pharmaceutical, biotechnology, semiconductor, electronics manufacturing, and laboratory environments, where both contamination control and operational reliability are essential.
Supporting the Shift to Data-Driven Sustainability
“Sustainability in today’s lab environments requires more than general claims—it requires transparency at the product level,” said Belle Chou, President, SW Sustainability Solutions. “Achieving My Green Lab’s ACT Ecolabel 2.0 certification for the PowerChem® PC-12WT100 reinforces our commitment to providing verified environmental data while continuing to deliver the durability, chemical protection, and performance our customers rely on.”
