Biodegradable gloves using SHOWA Eco Best Technology (EBT)

The first nitrile glove to be biodegradable

Launched in 2012, our biodegradable nitrile glove wants to make a difference to the environment without any compromise. With 150 billion pairs of gloves produced every year and 100 billion thrown away, we want to make a difference.
Because of its composition the EBT starts the decomposition of the glove before its disposal. The result creates a decomposition cycle of 1 to 5 years in active landfills instead of 100 years.
A major movement toward sustainability that is not limited to single use gloves. At SHOWA, biodegradable technology is available for chemical protection or single usage gloves.
