SHOWA® NSK24 Biodegradable EBT Nitrile Coated Gloves, 14-in (15-mil)

Mass consumed, gloves are eventually tossed into our landfills where they will slowly breakdown over the next 100+ years-that means every glove you've ever worn is still out there. While we can't change Earth's past, we can change its future - now is the right time to consider healthier hand protection solutions for our planet!

The inventors of the world's first single-use latex-free biodegradable nitrile gloves, SHOWA®, now brings you the world's first biodegradable chemical-resistant nitrile coated glove. Showa's Research & Development team raises the bar of innovation yet again with these SHOWA® 100% biodegradable chemical resistant nitrile gloves with Eco-Best Technology® (EBT). EBT offers the solution that makes a difference to the environment, without any compromise on protection and performance for the user.

SHOWA® glove has achieved all the necessary qualifications to be certified for biodegradable claims. The ASTM D5511 testing standard demonstrated that SHOWA® NSK24 EBT gloves achieved 82% biodegradation in only 386 days, while gloves without EBT achieved only 1.9% biodegradation over the same period of time.
