Ethical trading is big business in the UK - thank god - and there seems to be no end to the range of products receiving certification, from bananas to tea to coffee to rice to...rubber gloves.
Coinciding with Fairtrade Fortnight (23 Feb - 8 March), Traidcraft has launched fair trade rubber gloves produced by BM Polyco and made from fair trade Sri Lankan rubber.
With 26 million pairs of rubber gloves sold annually in the UK, buying fair trade gloves could make a real difference to the lives of small-scale farmers in third world countries.
Available in small, medium and large sizes, the gloves come in contemporary packaging emblazoned with the message: "I'm washing unfair trade away".
