Introduction

In today's world, where sustainability has become a hot topic, businesses are constantly looking for ways to become more eco-friendly. Disposable gloves are an essential item for many industries, including food service, healthcare, cleaning, and manufacturing.

However, traditional disposable gloves made of non-biodegradable materials are harmful to the environment. To solve this problem, Eco Gloves have started manufacturing gloves made of materials that can be recycled, biodegraded, or composted. But, what's the difference between recyclable, biodegradable, and compostable disposable gloves? Let's find out.

What are Recyclable Disposable Gloves?

Recyclable disposable gloves are made of materials that can be recycled after use. These gloves are usually made of plastic or rubber and are melted down and reused to make new products. However, not all recyclable gloves are created equal. Some gloves are made of materials that are easier to recycle than others. For example, gloves made of polyethylene (PE) or polyvinyl chloride (PVC) are easier to recycle than gloves made of nitrile or latex. Eco Gloves has created a strategic partnership with Terracycle that offers a disposable gloves recycling box. Learn about Eco Gloves line of recyclable disposable gloves.
