New Biodegradable disposable gloves

August 2022

biodegradable gloves

As part of our Green Pledge, we are working hard to ensure our product range offers excellent durability together with our goal of working towards a closed loop system ensuring the products don’t end up in landfill. However, there will always be a requirement for a disposable for safety reasons and so moving towards biodegradable disposables is paramount to our 0% landfill aims. One of our products that ticks all the right boxes is our just launched, disposable biodegradable glove. 

This 100% biodegradable nitrile, latex free, single use glove has been engineered to provide unparalleled protection not only for the user, but also the environment, without any sacrifice in performance. Comparable with our other nitrile disposable gloves, these strong gloves perform to the same high standards and are chemical resistant, food safe, medical grade, offer protection against microorganisms, are watertight and certified against critical defects.

 

 

Specially designed to biodegrade in landfill through the microbial process, these gloves do not degrade under normal storing conditions. Our new gloves have a proven 32.4% biodegradation rate in a span of just 377 days, with the gloves fully degraded in biologically active landfill within 3 years.

If you use disposable gloves but are looking for ways to reduce your environmental impact, these gloves provide an end life solution to reduce the quantity of non-biodegradable waste going to landfill.
