NITRILE BIODEGRADABLE GLOVES X-LARGE NITRIDERM 200/B X 10/C

Biodegradable nitrile exam gloves are manufactured with an organic additive which creates a food source for landfill microbes in anaerobic conditions – precisely the conditions present in today’s industrial landfills where medical waste ends up.

This organic additive allows the glove to become a polymerized food source, specifically formulated to attract microbes found in landfills. When the bacteria consume the glove, they excrete an enzyme that dissolves and de-polymerizes the gloves’ nitrile polymer chain. This process, called mineralization, allows the microbes to break down the remaining polymer naturally. When this breakdown is complete, only biogas, water, and inert soil are left behind!
