Are Nitrile Gloves Biodegradable?
Nitrile is a synthetic rubber compound that is widely favored for its strength and resistance to oils and acids, making it an ideal material for protective gloves in various industries including healthcare and chemical processing.
But standard nitrile gloves don't break down easily in landfills and can stick around for hundreds of years.
Biodegradable nitrile gloves are made of advanced materials that allow them to break down significantly faster in biologically active landfills. The technology accelerates the degradation process, reducing the environmental impact and helping industries meet their sustainability goals.
Is There a Biodegradable Glove Alternative to Standard Medical Gloves?
Yes, biodegradable nitrile gloves are a viable alternative to standard medical gloves. They provide the same levels of protection, durability, and flexibility as traditional nitrile gloves but with the added benefit of being environmentally friendly.
This makes them ideal for medical applications, including hospitals, clinics, and dental offices, where glove use is high and the need for effective infection control is critical.

Does Your Lab Reuse Gloves to Save the Environment?
Reusing disposable gloves is generally not recommended due to the risk of contamination and reduced efficacy in protection. However, our commitment to environmental sustainability is reflected in our promotion of biodegradable options.
By switching to biodegradable nitrile gloves, labs can maintain high standards of hygiene and safety while significantly reducing their environmental footprint.
