The World’s First Biodegradable Nitrile Glove
Millions of disposable gloves are used every year, and they have become a major issue for the environment due to their harmful materials
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.
Showa, the inventors of the first latex free single use nitrile glove (N-DEX®), now bring you the world’s first biodegradable nitrile glove. The company's engineers surpass their previous standard of innovation yet again with GREEN-DEX™ 100% Biodegradable Powder-Free Nitrile Gloves with Eco-Best Technology™ (EBT™). Consider the number of nitrile gloves used every day. Each one takes over 100 years to fully break down.

Now, they’re available at Black Box Safety.
