The Nitrile Glove Pandemic Should Have You Considering Sustainable Styles

Select These SHOWA® Certified Biodegradable Nitrile Gloves - A Healthier Choice for Mother Earth!

The pandemic created mass consumption and global shortages for disposable gloves - a necessity for medical professionals, tattoo artists, food servers, dental professionals, salon/spas and food processors.

SHOWA® biodegradable single-use nitrile gloves featuring EBT Technology in colors blue, green and black

Single-use nitrile gloves are highly sought for their tactility, hypoallergenic qualities, and strong resistance to pathogens, fluids, punctures, and chemicals.

Being mass consumed, worn once and then disposed, these gloves will eventually be buried into our landfills where they slowly breakdown over 100+ years! That means virtually every glove ever worn is still intact in landfills. Factor three times the global glove demand and three times the waste, the pandemic should have you considering healthier hand protection solutions for our planet!

Experts project that over 80 million gloves are 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 is the best time to consider converting to SHOWA’s line of biodegradable nitrile gloves - a more sustainable option for our planet.
