Our Opinion
Unigloves have introduced their first biodegradable nirtile glove 'BioTouch'. These gloves contain a biodegradable technology that kickstarts a biodegradation process only when discarded in an active landfill environment. BioTouch result in 91% biodegradation within 630 days compared to regular nitrile, which can take over 100 years however the 9% that's left still hold toxic residues. Plastics marketed as "biodegradable" will contribute to plastic pollution if they are lost or littered. We should be mindful that they do not break down as quickly and completely in the environment as the term might imply and thus can harm wildlife and ecosystems. But if disposed of correctly there is proof that biodegradable plastics may provide a net benefit to the environment, especially when viewed in the context of millions of items of disposable clothing and PPE ending up in landfill every year. We must also consider the intended use of the products before celebrating that they're biodegradable. If gloves have been used for medical purposes they may need to go into clinical waste rather than landfill and would actually be incinerated regardless. Equally, if they are very heavily soiled or covered in oils/solvents, realistically this may also reduce their ability to biodegrade. Disposable gloves are often essential for a number of tasks and these represent a big step forward over typical options - however, it may be more eco friendly to consider using reusable gloves if safe and viable to do so.
