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's GREEN-DEX™ 100% Biodegradable Powder-Free Nitrile Gloves with Eco-Best Technology™.

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™).
