Meet The Founders

When we created Pump Pal over three years ago – our vision was to eliminate plastic gloves while protecting our hands from gas pumps.

Helping the Planet

By now, we all understand that plastic pollution is causing destruction all around the world. Whether it is harming marine life or contributing to global climate change, the need to step away from single-use plastics has never been higher. Unfortunately, these single-use plastics have provided helpful staples all around the world for decades now—and we are well-accustomed to these conveniences.

Drivers love the convenience and protection of the plastic gloves that are available at gas stations, but there is no denying that the need for a reusable alternative is present. To meet this need, Pump Pal was born. Let’s explore how this product is changing lives and fighting climate change one driver at a time.

What is Pump Pal?

Pump Pal is a reusable protective device that was made to help provide a barrier between your hand and the filthy gas pump handles that exist at gas stations. Made with durable materials, this simple device allows you to fearlessly touch gas pumps and keypad devices without a need to worry about dangerous viruses, all while offering a simple and sustainable solution.

Protecting the Planet

In the United States alone, 16.5 million plastic gloves are used by drivers at gas stations every single day. After only a few seconds of use, these gloves are thrown in the trash without a second thought. Drivers need a solution to receive protection against the dangerous germs lurking on gas pumps and keypads around the world, but this shouldn’t come at the cost of the planet. By offering a single, reusable barrier, Pump Pal completely eliminates the need for single-use plastic gloves at gas stations.

Keeping Drivers Safe from

Dangerous Germs

Drivers are worried about the grit, grime, and germs that are commonly associated with gas pumps. As much as we like to think that someone is regularly cleaning these devices, this really isn’t the case. The average gas pump is home to over 3,000,000 different kinds of bacteria—and now more than ever, we understand just how risky this can be. To make matters worse, 1,000,000 different kinds of bacteria can be found on gas station keypads around the world too. With Pump Pal, the need for a protective barrier is covered in one eco-friendly product.

How we got here.

In late 2018 we identified two ongoing problems that have plagued our hands, our environment and our communities – plastic pollution and a lack of sanitary measures taken at fuel pumps. With these two problems being the premise of our motivation; we got to work on "Eco Grip" which you know now as Pump Pal!

The journey to sustainability.

Finding a solution to eliminating plastic gloves & protecting our hands from gas pump handles didn’t happen overnight. A couple of years ago, we were just two roommates living in Miami—but we had a vision to help eliminate the regular use of disposable gloves running rampant at gas stations. Following 7 different prototypes, countless late nights, and thousands of cups of Cuban coffee, Pump Pal was born. Now, it is available to drivers everywhere.

Issues We Encountered.

Developing a product with 0 experience was not easy. We had to build a product based off our vision — a compressible, reusable, durable, safe and universal device for pumping gas. We ran into design, functionality and manufacturing issues that almost caused us to give up on our dream. But our passion and determination to succeed was much greater than the problems we encountered.
