Material Innovation
Biodegradable Technology
Advanced grip, lower footprint.
Our biodegradable nitrile uses an additive technology that helps the glove break down significantly faster than standard nitrile in biologically active landfill, without compromising the grip and protection you expect.
ASTM-certified biodegradable technology, test data available.

The Origin
Environmentally responsible without the premium price. Our biodegradable nitrile is ASTM certified and available across our grip technologies, so you get the same performance in a glove engineered to break down far faster at end of life.
What Makes It Different.
In the hand it performs like our standard nitrile. At end of life, it is engineered to biodegrade far faster. Not a gimmick and not 'compostable', a measurable change in how the material breaks down, backed by testing.
No performance trade-off
Same grip and protection as standard nitrile.
Faster breakdown
Engineered to biodegrade faster in landfill conditions.
Across our textures
Available with our grip technologies, not just plain.
ASTM certified
Backed by ASTM biodegradation testing.
The Range
Gloves With Biodegradable.
What it does not mean: biodegradable nitrile still requires the right disposal conditions to break down. It is not compostable and should not be littered. We publish the testing so you can see exactly what it does, and does not, claim.
Feel the Grip.
The fastest way to understand Biodegradable is to hold it. Request a sample and put it to work.
