The Fingerprint Legacy
Be Part of the Biodegradable Solution, Reduce Landfill

The Legacy
A landfill fingerprint is an unintentional legacy created by professional users of single-use nitrile gloves. Because conventional disposable nitrile gloves are made of synthetic rubber, it’s very resistant to microbial attack and requires 100+ years to achieve degradation in landfill.

Having 10 fingerprints with every change-out, disposed gloves could potentially be traced back to the wearer decades later. While it would be like finding a needle in a hay stick, technically it could be accomplished because discarded conventional gloves will remain in landfill fully intact for future generations to inherit.

A New Era In Disposable Hand Protection Has Arrived
This waste disposal problem has spurred industrial glove innovator SHOWA® Group to take a growing interest in the biodegradability of single-use nitrile gloves. Taking the next step in sustainability, SHOWA® has expanded its biodegradable range of hand protection products featuring their patented soft, low modulus formulation combined with their Eco Best Technology® (EBT). Offering the same barrier protection, performance, strength, fit, chemical resistance and grip as regular nitrile gloves, SHOWA’s Eco Best Technology® (EBT) gloves are specially engineered with proprietary organic additives that promote accelerated biodegradation in biologically active landfills (which are growing in popularity by the way).

Single-Use Latex-Free EBT Nitrile Gloves
Available from SHOWA® Group are latex-free biodegradable gloves in colors green, blue and black that meet FDA food contact standards 21CFR, 177.2600, sustainable nitrile gloves certified for use with chemotherapy compounds, fatal toxins (fentanyl) and FDA approved medical exam gloves. Other planet-friendly gloves include a growing line of reusable chemical-resistant gloves and the first ever biodegradable gloves 100% made and sourced in the USA that boast TAA compliancy. TAA compliance is important for any company seeking to do business with U.S. government via GSA Schedules.
