An estimated 100 billion pairs of gloves are tossed in the garbage each yeShowa Green-DEX Biodgradable Nitrile Glovesar resulting in piles of hand protection waste resting in landfills each year. Laid out end-to-end, that’s enough to stretch to the moon and back 30 times.  Sadly studies have shown it can take 100+ years for gloves to biodegrade and it is expected to increase vastly with a growing population and a looming pandemic.

SHOWGREENCIRCLE CERTIFIED BIODEGRADABLE A® glove has achieved the GreenCircle certification for +8 protective gloves that meet all the necessary qualifications to be certified for biodegradable claims.

The ASTM D5526 certification demonstrated that SHOWA® EBT gloves achieved 82% biodegradation in only 386 days, while gloves without EBT achieved only 1.9% biodegradation over the same period of time. EBT offers the solution that makes a difference to the environment, without any compromise on protection and performance for the user.

SHOWA® now offers the most extensive selection of biodegradable hand protection on the market!
