The use of gloves for protection, hygiene and safety reasons is omnipresent in a wide range of industries, and the demand heightened during the COVID-19 pandemic, not just in the medical sector, but throughout a number of different business types. After supplying a wide glove range for a number of years including nitrile, vinyl and synthetic, we noticed a gap in the market for a glove which has been manufactured with resource efficiency in mind. Following from this, we would like to introduce our latest addition to our range, ‘Glovelee’ – compostable gloves.
When, Where & Why
Disposable gloves are essential across various industries, from hair and beauty to mechanics and agriculture, where they play a crucial role in maintaining hygiene and safety standards. One sector that particularly relies on gloves is catering and hospitality. In this industry, hand protection is critical for hygiene during food handling, preparation, service, and disposal. Increasingly, the sector has embraced the use of compostable materials for food waste management. Each year, more local authorities and waste collection organisations offer kerbside organic waste collections, including food waste. For these collections, compostable liners have become the preferred choice for handling disposed waste. Using disposable gloves made from the same material as compostable liners allows them to be disposed of alongside food waste, rather than in general waste like conventional gloves made from other materials.
Benefits of Glovelee
Our compostable gloves fall under our ‘Glovelee’ brand, and ‘FPA Product Innovation 2024 Winner’, an award we won in the product’s debut year.
