Versatile, tactile and affordable, single-use gloves are worn practically everywhere nowadays. The most popular single-use gloves being used today are latex-free nitrile examination gloves. Mass consumed in healthcare, clinical dentistry, food processing, cannabis processing,  laboratory, law enforcement, spas/salons and tattoo, they are worn and changed out several times a day.

Disposable gloves provide important barrier protection against infection, contamination and minimize potential cross-contamination of germs and bacteria. Unfortunately there’s a dark side to using single-use gloves.

LANDFILL

Worn and disposed several times a day every day, an estimated 180 billion pairs (or 1 million tons) of gloves are tossed in the garbage each year resulting in hand protection waste buried in landfill. Sadly studies have shown it can take 200+ years for nitrile and vinyl gloves to biodegrade and these numbers are expected to increase vastly with a growing, aging population and a looming global pandemic.

EcoTek® Sustainable Single-Use Nitrile Exam Gloves

BETTER FOR THE PLANET

EcoTek® technology is a patented proprietary SW® biodegradable nitrile formula that is making a difference and positive impact on the environment that accelerates biodegradation in landfill without any performance or protection loss under ASTM D5526-12 Standard Test Method for Determining Anaerobic Biodegradation of Plastic Materials Under Accelerated Landfill Conditions.  This special additive enables nitrile gloves to break down or biodegrade in landfill over a much shorter time than conventional gloves - Results are 92.6% biodegradation in 60% solids landfill at 945 days. (Future results cannot be predicted/extrapolated*.) And if your facility incinerates its glove waste, EcoTek® incineration-friendly nitrile gloves are a sustainable disposal method as the combustion process converts the gloves into harmless byproducts. This means the overall performance, protection and durability of the glove stays exactly the same with reduced impact on the environment.
