26 Feb Hydro donates flame retardant workwear to Ukraine
(Oilandgaspress) During 2024 and 2025, Hydro has donated more than 10,000 pieces of flame retardant workwear to Ukrainian fire and rescue services. The donation is the result of a broad collaboration between Hydro’s Norwegian aluminium plants and the inclusive business Sogn Vekst in Årdal. The flame retardant jackets and pants became available when Hydro updated the protective clothing kits at all its Norwegian aluminium plants. Instead of destroying the old clothing, which is still perfectly functional, it was collected, quality checked and prepared for reuse. In total, 5,855 jackets and 4,960 flame retardant pants have been sent from Hydro’s Norwegian aluminium plants in Årdal, Sunndal, Karmøy, Husnes, and Høyanger to Ukraine.
Hydro has also sent breathing apparatuses, protective masks and a rescue vehicle to Ukraine as well as the flame retardant workwear. All the equipment has been sent to support fire and rescue services, which have a significant need for personal protective gear that shields against heat, flames, and smoke in dangerous situations.
