The pandemic created global shortages for disposable gloves - a necessity for medical p
rofessionals, tattoo artists, mechanics, EMS, salon/spas, dental professionals, law enforcement, and food processors or servers.
Single-use nitrile gloves are highly sought for their tactility, hypoallergenic qualities and strong resistance to pathogens, fluids, punctures and chemicals. Mass consumed, worn once and then disposed, these gloves will eventually be buried into our landfill where they slowly breakdown over the next 100+ years! Factor three times the global glove demand and three times the waste – now is the right time to consider healthier hand protection solutions for our planet!
Experts projected that over 80 million gloves were needed for pandemic health response teams each month worldwide. That’s a lot of gloves, and a lot of landfill waste! With so many gloves being consumed, now it the best time to consider converting to Showa’s line of biodegradable nitrile gloves - a more sustainable option for our planet.

Crafted with SHOWA’s revolutionary patent-pending Eco Best Technology® (EBT), this is the breakthrough innovation that makes these SHOWA® 6110PF Green and SHOWA® 6112PF Black fully biodegradable, and the first of their kind.
SHOWA's growing line up of protective gloves meet all the necessary qualifications to be certified for biodegradable claims. The ASTM D5511 test standard demonstrated that SHOWA® EBT single use nitrile gloves achieved 82% biodegradation in only 386 days, while gloves without EBT achieved only 1.9% biodegradation over the same period of time. EBT offers the solution that makes a difference to the environment, without any compromise on protection and performance for the user.
Available in black, hi-viz , blue or green colors, these Earth-friendly SHOWA® latex-free nitrile gloves use body temperature to mold the glove's texture to the shape of the hand, ensuring a snug and comfortable barrier for the wearer providing what is referred to as a second-skin fit and feel.
