Disposable Hand Protection with Zero Trace Landfill Waste

You’ve finished wearing your gloves – now what?

Every year 100 billion disposable gloves are disposed into landfill thrown away after having to protect your hands compounding a problem that will never go away.

Do you know what happens with your single-use gloves after they have been worn and then disposed into the trash? Every year 100 billion disposable gloves are thrown away requiring hundreds and hundreds of years to decompose but that’s about to change!

Companies like SHOWA® Glove, the inventor of the World's first nitrile glove, have developed a much needed additive treatment that disrupts the current waste cycle of conventional gloves to accelerate the break-down of nitrile gloves in landfill making their gloves better for our planet without sacrificing protection!

Changing the Future of Single-Use Hand Protection with Revolutionizing Biodegradable Technologies

SPECIAL GLOVE ADDITIVES

Eco Best Technology® or EBT in short makes a difference to the environment without any compromise in the glove’s barrier protection, comfort, fit or performance and will not biodegrade prior to disposal. Thanks to its unique composition, EBT gloves decompose 82% within 386 days in active landfills which is validated by an independent certified laboratory using international test methods ASTM D5511 and D5526 that determine anaerobic biodegradation of plastics in accelerated landfill conditions.

With SHOWA’S Eco Best Technology the environmental impact is the only difference.

HOW IT WORKS

 [ 1 ] Proprietary materials are added to the nitrile during production

[ 2 ] Glove are used and then disposed

[ 3 ] Gloves are transferred and discarded into biologically active landfills

[ 4 ] Microorganisms break down the EBT gloves

[ 5 ] Organic soil and biogas are left in its place

Without oxygen, moisture and temperature, the biodegradation of conventional nitrile gloves slow down and will be stuck in landfill for hundreds of years before they fully degrade. Luckily, more and more landfills now have biogas installations meaning that our waste becomes our energy.

THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT IS THE ONLY DIFFERENCE

Biodegradable gloves are made with the same rigid quality controls and standards as standard type gloves. This means the overall performance of the glove – its durability, comfort, grip and protection – stays exactly the same.

Today, SHOWA® offers the most extensive selection of biodegradable hand protection on the market that includes single-use nitrile gloves, general duty work gloves and reusable chemical protection gloves!  With biodegradable gloves, the environmental impact is the only difference.  Simply throw these gloves away and let the landfill do the rest!
