Libra Industries launches ReadyShip Recycling Program to reduce PPE costs by up to 50% for manufacturers while diverting used gloves and protective gear from landfills through sanitization and redistribution services.
-- Libra Industries has launched its ReadyShip Recycling Program, designed to reduce protective equipment costs for manufacturers by up to 50% while diverting substantial volumes of used gear from landfills. The Jackson, Michigan-based company draws on more than 55 years of experience in textile restoration and reuse, now offering a nationwide service that collects, sanitizes, and redistributes gloves and other protective equipment to industrial facilities. The program addresses both procurement budget pressures and mounting regulatory expectations around waste management, positioning itself as a practical solution for operations teams seeking measurable cost savings alongside environmental accountability.

Manufacturers face increasing scrutiny over disposal practices, particularly as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency advises that gloves, masks, and similar items should be kept out of recycling streams and disposed of properly. Libra reports that its recycling initiatives have already diverted more than 11 million pounds of reusable protective equipment from landfills, supporting corporate sustainability targets across multiple industries. Research on reusable textiles indicates that extending product lifecycles through professional cleaning and restoration can significantly reduce environmental impact compared to single-use alternatives.
The ReadyShip process relies on a multi-step sanitization protocol that begins with collection bins placed directly at customer facilities. Used gloves and gear are transported to Libra's processing centers, where proprietary washing methods remove contaminants and restore items to safety standards. Staff employ registered sanitizers and multi-cycle preset formulas to ensure consistent hygiene outcomes, while advanced metal detection equipment mitigates the risk of nuisance contaminants in cleaned products. This closed-loop approach allows facilities to reintroduce sanitized equipment into their operations without compromising worker protection or regulatory compliance.
Implementation requires minimal disruption to existing workflows. Libra installs specialized collection bins at the customer site, arranges professional cleaning on a scheduled basis, and returns quality-checked equipment ready for immediate reuse. By extending the lifespan of gloves and other protective gear, the program reduces maintenance, repair, and operations expenditures while supporting waste reduction goals. To lower adoption barriers, Libra offers a trial period during which facilities can evaluate performance and cost impact.
The ReadyShip program provides data analysis on product performance and waste reduction metrics, enabling procurement managers to demonstrate sustainability impact to stakeholders and inform future purchasing decisions. Facilities gain visibility into how much waste they divert, how many cycles each item completes, and which product types deliver the best overall value when cleaned and reused. This data-driven approach helps organizations integrate reuse into daily operations rather than treating it as an isolated initiative.
The company invites operations and procurement managers to learn more about the program online. With a track record spanning more than five decades and a nationwide logistics network, the company positions itself as a partner for manufacturers seeking to balance safety, cost control, and environmental responsibility in their protective equipment strategies.
