As consumers, our daily choices and decisions may seem insignificant, but they can accumulate and have a substantial impact on the environment. Every item we use has the potential to affect the consumption of our natural resources, the quality of our air, and the overall health of our ecosystem. At Eco Gloves, we take into account all of these factors when offering our products. You'll find that every page dedicated to our gloves includes information and labels that explain why our products are environmentally sustainable. But beyond these efforts, we want to share a more vivid picture of how we are trying to positively impact the environment. 

Planting a Tree with Every Order

We are committed to fighting against the threat of cliimate change, deforestation, and all the concerns that come with it. That's why with every order we will plant a tree with the help of Greenspark and Eden Reforestation Projects, a nonprofit that has planted millions of trees to restore our forests while supporting improverished communited.  

Rescuing Plastics with Every New Member

Did you know that every year 8 million metric tons of plastics find their ways into landfills, oceans, and water ways and Southeast Asia remains one of the hardest hit areas facing the plastic pollution?

That's why along with offering compostable and biodegradable gloves (an alternative to synethetic plastic gloves that would otherwise be landfill-bound or persisting in the environment for decades), we've partnered with Plastic Bank to help rescue general plastic waste from countries and areas hardest hit by the plastic pollution crisis. Through Plastic Bank local communities are employed with a fair living wage to retrieve plastic from the landscape and then upcycle these plastics into new products, avoiding further need for new plastic.

Supporting Carbon Offsetting

In a world where production and shipment of goods and movement of people is almost unavoidable, we've always pondered ways we can help offset our own carbon footprint.

We introduced our first product, our Compostable Gloves, specifically to address the carbon emission concerns. With this product being made from renewable plant-based materials, the production of our Compostable Gloves uses 65% less energy than with production of conventional plastics and also generates 68% fewer greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, as a Compostable glove, the end-of-life process of the gloves composting lowers greenhouse gases by improving carbon sequestration in soil and preventing methane emissions through aerobic decomposition.  

Our efforts also come in form of us contributing to offset every order shipped. With our partnership with Planet, we are able to measure how much CO2 our shipments release into the environment, and fund innovative companies to pull the same amount of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere to neutralize those shipping emissions.   

With our parternship with Greenspark, we are also helping to support carbon offsetting projects around the world that reduce global greenhouse gas emissions. Each project is vetted and verified by the UN to ensure their validity and quality. By funding these projects that help to absorb a certain amount of carbon, we are additionally helping to counteract our own emissions to reduce our overall impact on the planet.

Responsible Raw Material Choices

We make intelligent, responsible raw material choices, and whenever possible, we obtain materials from annually renewable plant resources such like cornstarch and vegetables like cassava, sugarcane, soy and other bio-based proprietary components that are better for the environment. Keep in mind that sometimes we opt not to use a plant-derived or compostable material for reasons related to efficacy, consistency and safety.

CHARITY 

Rather than discarding excess inventory and samples used for product development, we choose to donate them to various charities, non-profit organizations, shelters, schools, and animal care facilities that can benefit from the use of gloves. We also offer monetary donations to support these causes. Below are just a few examples of the organizations that we have extended our support to.
