Biodegradable glove
10 December 2013
Globus, the organisation which introduced the world’s first disposable nitrile glove, N-DEX, has launched the world’s first biodegradable nitrile disposable glove in the UK and Ireland.
GREEN-DEX (a Showa Best product) biodegrades in biologically-active landfills thus providing an effective single-use hand protection solution as well as the ability to boost a company’s green credentials and reduce its recycling costs. The unique ‘biodegradable’ characteristic is made possible by the patent-pending Eco Best Technology (EBT), which does not compromise any of the quality of the glove. GREEN-DEX meets the same exact performance standards of the original N-DEX glove.
Testing by an independent research lab confirmed that 20% of a GREEN-DEX glove will have biodegraded in 160 days compared to the controlled N-DEX gloves which had less than 2%.
