FAQs

Yes, our biodegradable nitrile gloves are designed to offer the same level of durability and protection as traditional nitrile gloves. They undergo rigorous testing to ensure compliance with industry standards for strength and tear resistance.

The time it takes for biodegradable nitrile gloves to decompose depends on various factors such as environmental conditions and the specific composition of the gloves. However, under optimal conditions, they typically break down within 1 to 5 years, significantly faster than traditional nitrile gloves which can take hundreds of years to decompose.

While biodegradable nitrile gloves are designed to break down naturally in the environment, they can also be recycled through specialised recycling programs. We recommend checking with local recycling facilities or exploring our textile recycling service in partnership with Avena Group for proper disposal and recycling options.

Our biodegradable nitrile gloves are suitable for a wide range of medical procedures and applications, predominantly including examinations, and general patient care. They offer the same level of protection and performance as traditional nitrile gloves, making them ideal for use in healthcare settings.

By choosing biodegradable nitrile gloves, you are contributing to environmental sustainability in several ways. These gloves break down into natural components over time, reducing the accumulation of plastic waste in landfills and oceans. Additionally, the production of biodegradable materials typically requires fewer fossil fuels and resources compared to conventional plastics, further minimising environmental impact.

Biodegradable nitrile gloves can be disposed of in regular waste bins. However, to maximise their environmental benefits, we recommend considering recycling options whenever possible. Check with local recycling facilities or explore our textile recycling service for proper disposal and recycling options.

While biodegradable nitrile gloves are designed to break down naturally, they may not be suitable for home composting due to the specific conditions required for decomposition. We recommend checking with commercial composting facilities to determine if they accept biodegradable nitrile gloves.

Contaminated gloves should be disposed of following standard safety protocols for handling biohazardous materials. Seal contaminated gloves in a designated biohazard bag or container and dispose of them according to local regulations and guidelines for hazardous waste disposal.

No, used gloves, whether biodegradable or not, should not be sterilised and reused. Single-use gloves are designed for one-time use only to maintain hygiene and prevent cross-contamination. Reusing gloves can compromise safety and effectiveness.

If you need to dispose of a large quantity of gloves, consider utilising bulk disposal or recycling services. Contact local waste management companies or explore our partnership with Avena Group for assistance with large-scale disposal and recycling solutions.

Our partnership with Avena Group enables the recycling of a wide range of materials, including used PPE (such as gloves, masks, and gowns), textiles, and other related waste items commonly found in healthcare, hospitality, and private care settings.

The recycling process begins with the collection of used materials from your facility. Avena Group then utilizes advanced recycling technologies to process and repurpose these materials, minimising waste and maximising resource efficiency.

Our recycling service contributes to environmental sustainability by diverting waste from landfills and reducing the need for new raw materials. By recycling materials such as PPE and textiles, we help conserve natural resources and minimise carbon emissions associated with waste disposal.

While our recycling service is designed to be convenient and accessible, we recommend segregating and properly packaging recyclable materials according to our guidelines to ensure efficient processing. Additionally, certain materials may have specific handling or disposal requirements, which we can assist you with.

Getting started with our recycling service is simple. Contact our team to discuss your recycling needs and schedule a consultation. We'll work with you to tailor a recycling program that meets your requirements and helps you achieve your sustainability goals effectively.
