Showa Biodegradable Household Cleaning Gloves

These gloves are Ideal for washing and cleaning in the kitchen, bathroom and anywhere reusable gloves are typically used. 

These eco-responsible nitrile gloves biodegrade within 1-5 years, without leaving behind harmful particles. To put this into context, regular nitrile gloves take 100+ years to degrade while leaving behind harmful particles. They are virus/chemical protected and suitable for a wide range of applications (chemical, food prep, janitorial, lab work, etc).

Compostability/Biodegradability:

These gloves are made of a mixture of nitrile and organic material that the manufacturer blends together which is why they perform the same way regular nitrile gloves do while still holding the capacity to degrade quickly.

The organic compound additive attracts micro-organisms (bacteria, fungi etc) that consume the glove material. Once this process is complete the only thing left behind is H20, CO2 and methane.
