SMART Pack

Ansell SMART Pack is a sustainable packaging innovation designed for sterile cleanroom gloves. It reduces the size of the pouch by 56%, using fewer materials without compromising sterility. The automated packaging process also lowers the risk of contamination by minimizing human contact. The materials used are recyclable, helping cleanroom environments meet sustainability goals while reducing waste.

Yes, Ansell has ensured that the materials used in the SMART Pack are recyclable* and, where possible, made from recycled content. This reflects the company's broader sustainability commitment, aligning with initiatives like Ansell Earth to reduce environmental impact across the product lifecycle​.

The SMART Pack helps reduce waste in multiple ways. It uses 56% less plastic in the pouch, resulting in smaller shipping cases that allow for more efficient transportation. The smaller cases mean more gloves can be shipped per container, reducing both packaging waste and carbon emissions.

SMART Pack is part of Ansell’s broader sustainability strategy under the Ansell Earth initiative. It focuses on reducing plastic use, optimizing shipping, and using recyclable materials. SMART Pack alone is expected to eliminate nearly one million plastic bags annually, significantly cutting down on environmental waste.

Ansell currently offers its AccuTech® 91-225 and TouchNTuff® 73-701 sterile cleanroom gloves in SMART Pack packaging. These gloves meet the same high standards for sterility and contamination prevention but come in more sustainable, eco-friendly packaging.
