The Hidden Problem with Traditional Nitrile Gloves — And How to Fix It

Nitrile gloves protect people. But what protects the planet from nitrile gloves?

It’s estimated that over 100 billion disposable gloves are used each year — and most are made from petroleum-based nitrile that takes centuries to break down in landfills. This creates a massive, often-overlooked waste stream.

Traditional gloves may be effective in the short term, but their environmental impact lingers for generations. That’s where biodegradable nitrile gloves offer a meaningful solution.

By using an innovative additive that accelerates decomposition in active landfill environments, our gloves achieve 90% breakdown in just over a year — without affecting the glove's performance, shelf life, or strength.

Organizations adopting these gloves not only reduce waste but also improve their sustainability profile — especially important for those aiming to meet ESG and green procurement standards.

It’s time to rethink your glove choice. The planet will thank you.
