Biodegradable Gloves
In industries ranging from retail to sanitation, gloves get used a lot. Gloves keep hands safe, and they allow wearers to do better work. When the job is done, the gloves come off — but where do they go? In many cases, they go in the trash. Millions of disposable gloves are used every year, and they have become a major issue for the environment due to their harmful materials. Thankfully, there is a solution. Several environmentally-conscious manufacturers now produce fully biodegradable gloves that will quickly break down in landfills. These solutions are safe for the soil, the water supply, and the global ecosystem. Now, they’re available here at Black Box Safety.
The Case for Biodegradable Gloves
Historically, disposable gloves have been made from materials including latex and polyvinyl chloride. While cheap to produce, these materials pose huge risks for the environment once disposed. Latex and PVC do not break down easily in soil, which means they disrupt plant life and become choking hazards for animals that may chance upon them. What little degradation does occur can drastically alter the chemical content of soil and water, destroying many of the microorganisms and larger life that need these essential ingredients to grow. For garbage that makes its way to major waterways, traditional latex and PVC gloves can pose similar risks to ocean life. Changing glove materials to eco-friendly, biodegradable alternatives saves lives on land and at sea — bettering the world that we all share.
