Today, 50% of our production relies on traditional industrial processes, while the other 50% uses automated transfer molding—a faster, greener method that reduces solvent use and slashes our carbon footprint.
Our goal
Reach 80% automation in the coming 2 years, cutting waste and energy consumption while maintaining the high-quality standards our clients expect.
We've taken a major step toward energy independence by installing 1,200 solar panels at our manufacturing site. This shift not only reduces our reliance on fossil fuels but also ensures cleaner operations.
Next step
Expand solar capacity to cover 100% of our energy needs within the next 2 years, making our production as sustainable as our products.
At East Rock, we believe that true sustainability starts with innovation. That's why we've invested in an independent Research & Development Center—a hub where scientists and engineers work tirelessly to develop cleaner, smarter, and more sustainable PPE solutions.
Why R&D is a Sustainability Game-Changer:
·Reducing Chemical Dependence
Our lab is pioneering solvent-free manufacturing techniques, minimizing hazardous waste without compromising product integrity.
·Material Breakthroughs
We're testing bio-based polymers and recycled materials to replace traditional plastics, ensuring high protection with lower environmental impact.
·Longer Product Lifecycles
Through advanced testing, we're designing PPE that lasts longer, reducing the need for frequent replacements and cutting industrial waste.
PPE shouldn't be single-use by default. We're investing in longer-lasting materials and modular designs to minimize waste.
Goal
Increase product durability by 30% within two years, helping clients reduce their own environmental footprint.
Every detail counts—even our case packaging is now made from 100% recycled materials. This small change has a big impact, reducing plastic waste and encouraging responsible sourcing.
What's next
Innovate further with biodegradable and reusable packaging solutions.
