If you are a dentist, a dental hygienist or a dental student, you are required to wear  personal protective equipment (P.P.E.) such as facemasks, face shields, protective isolation gowns and single-use nitrile examination gloves.

Single-use nitrile examination gloves are a first line defense and critical to protecting professionals, students, and patients from infectious agents and potential cross-contamination. Unfortunately, there is a dark side to wearing conventional nitrile gloves.

THE DARK SIDE

Because these gloves are designed to be worn for short durations, they are frequently changed-out several times a day then disposed into the trash landfill where it takes hundreds of years to decompose or sent to a medical waste incinerator that produces air pollutants. Approximately one million pairs of nitrile gloves are disposed per school per year and clinical consumption has facilities beckoning for green glove alternatives.

LANDFILL CAPACITY

The extensive use of predominantly non-degradable P.P.E. is wreaking havoc on the planet leading to an accumulation of waste in landfills, with potential consequences for leachates and the bioaccumulation of microplastics. Diverting and treating 180 billion pairs (one million tons) of industry residues while exploring more environmentally friendly alternatives, such as biodegradable P.P.E. is now crucial as experts predict that the United States is on track to run out of capacity in landfills by the year 2036.

TRUEFORM® TF-95RB ECOTEK® SUSTAINABLE LATEX-FREE GLOVES

Dentists, clinical directors, Infection Control officers, dental students and faculty now have sustainable and affordable single-use hand protection options for private practices and dental clinics. A new ERA in sustainability shopping has arrived and it has ushered a new landfill-friendly, incinerator-friendly and skin-friendly FDA 510K approved single-use nitrile medical exam glove that perform like conventional counterparts without busting budgets or sacrificing protection or comfort.
