This leads to zero waste. Plus, the bio-gas can potentially be used as a renewable energy source.
“EBT gloves create less of a footprint after-use”, says Brian Moseley, SHOWA RA/QA Technical Manager.
“The beauty once it enters into a landfill, it has a significantly shorter lifespan than traditional nitrile gloves, which is great for the environment. Importantly, it doesn’t lose its critical safety features, whatever industry they’re used in - mining, for food preparation, chemical manufacturing - they get the same level of protection as standard nitrile gloves.
SHOWA was recognised as the first-ever glove company to achieve the Greencircle bio-degradation certificate – an endorsement of the company’s environmental capability.
“We chose biodegradation to further reduce our carbon footprint. It also provides our customers a good disposable plan for used gloves - peace of mind knowing the EBT process starts when it enters active landfills.”
SHOWA prides itself in devoting a considerable proportion of its profits to research biodegradable products and the development of fibres that have a reduced impact on the environment. At SHOWA, we always aim to deliver safe
and sturdy products that are not just better for us, but better for our world.
