Sports medicine product supplier Life Wear Technologies has made history by launching a range of innovatively designed and engineered sports braces that aren't merely designed to protect the condition of your joints, but also promise to mitigate damage to the environment thanks to the use of sustainably sourced materials.
The 'CleanPrene' range of sports braces are made from biologically sourced materials such as plant oils and oyster shells, not to mention recycled fabrics such as nylon and polyester and post-use plastics. The careful choice of materials ensures that the products are all flexible, soft and supportive.
Comprising a wide range of products including everything from knee supports to wrist splints, the 'CleanPrene' sports braces exemplify the fact that quality sports treatment products do not need to function at the cost of the environment. “We felt it was our responsibility to both our consumers and our planet to take the lead in developing a sustainable alternative that performs as well or better than leading brands," said Colin Hall, chief revenue officer at Life Wear.
