Biodegradable nitrile glove

Posted on Friday 1 January 2010

New from Showa Best is the biodegradable disposable nitrile glove, GREEN-DEX.

Showa Best Glove’s Research & Development team says that its ECO BEST TECHNOLOGY (EBT) which accelerates the biodegradation of nitrile in biologically active landfills and anaerobic digesters is a major breakthrough. EBT is composed of organic materials designed to make GREEN-DEX attractive to microbial activity. These microorganisms upon consuming the EBT material excrete enzymes that depolymerize the nitrile. The final result is biogases and inert humus.

The GREEN-DEX gloves maintain the same physical properties (texture, appearance, etc.) as regular nitrile gloves.
