Gardening can be invigorating with many health and spirtual benefits, but it also has its dangers. If you don’t take basic precautions, you could land yourself in the emergency room or hospital. There are some risks to ‘working the soil’ - especially if your hands are bare.
There are a variety of nasty infections you can get if you garden without work gloves. Cuts and scrapes can easily happen when working around thorns, stems and sharp gardening tools. Splinters are another way that dangerous microorganisms gain entry into your body. Gardening without gloves means you are more vulnerable to injuries or infections such as:
- Risk of Legionnaires' disease: (a kind of pneumonia) is caused by a bacteria called legionella, which thrives in moist soil conditions.
- Risk of Tetanus: rich soil can include the bacterium Clostridium tetani which can cause a tetanus infection if it passes through broken skin or via a puncture wound.
- Sepsis: bacterial infections that causes septic shock, organ failure, and, if not treated quickly enough, death.
- Spiders, Bugs and Snakes
- Poisonous Plants: some plants and some parts (such as leaves, flowers or sap) can, if handled incorrectly, cause anything from a mild rash to a severe allergic reaction.
- Cats/Wild Animal Waste: outdoor cats and wild animals use the world as their litter box and infected feces can carry bacteria that cause the disease toxoplasmosis.
- Sunburn, Allergies, Blisters and Splinters
- Protection from Pesticides, Herbicides and Fertilizers
There are a variety of glove options on the market but here's a sustainable choice for our planet
In an attempt to eliminate landfill and plastic pollution, the people behind SHOWA® have introduced their line of biodegradable gardening gloves and they are being well received by environmentally conscience affliates and businesses, especially LEED® certified buildings!

Engineered with Eco Best Technology®, this planet friendly glove is ideal for multi-use applications across a range of industries such as gardening, zoos, landscaping, horticulture, professional trades, agricultural, cultavation, farming, ranching and more.
BIODEGRADABLE IN LANDFILL
When conventional single-use or work gloves are no longer useful, most workers simply toss these gloves into the garbage where they make their way to landfill and studies have shown, it can take 100+ years to decompose. The glove engineers at SHOWA® are changing the future of hand protection. Instead of adding to landfill, turn your work gloves into natural soil with Zero Waste!
SHOWA’s revolutionary Eco Best Technology® (EBT) is the breakthrough innovation that makes these 383 work gloves the first of their kind. EBT® accelerates the biodegradation of 
gloves in biologically active landfill using anaerobic digesters to decompose within 1 - 5 years.
VALIDATED
These abilities have been validated using international test methods (ASTM D5526 & ASTM D5511). Independent research laboratories place the time between one and five years depending on landfill site conditions.
HOW DOES EBT WORK?
[ 1 ] EBT additive materials
[ 2 ] Glove disposal
[ 3 ] Biologically active landfill
[ 4 ] Microorganism Decomposition within 1-5 years
[ 5 ] Natural soil mix
