THAT GET DISPOSED ALONG WITH FOOD SCRAPS!

If You're Using Disposable Gloves In Your Food Operation, Consider This Line of FDA Food-Safe Biodegradable Hand Protection. Just Toss Them In The Garbage and Let the Landfill Do the Rest!

Nowadays glove dispenser boxes have virtually become a spokesperson for many corporations. As food service operators, the disposable gloves you wear to defend against the cross-contamination of germs are often on full display for patrons to scrutinize as they wait for their food items. Supply chain managers, business owners and sustainability officers should take note that if your single-use gloves aren’t biodegradable, you might want to consider switching brands. 

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

From take-home food containers to drink cups and straws, consumers are now scrutinizing the environmental impact of the single-use gloves you opt to wear.
