Ecohold Biodegradable Nitrile Examination Gloves

Introducing BDG Disposable Gloves

Join the green revolution with the latest innovation in disposable gloves, made with BDG technology! These examination gloves offer an end-of-life solution to nitrile gloves, ensuring that your everyday needs don't come at the cost of our planet. With BDG, you can make a difference, one glove at a time!

How Does BDG Work?

BDG is a polymerized "food source". It's specially crafted to attract microbes that can be found in landfill sites. This unique biodegradation method works enzymatically, meaning that when the bacteria consume the BDG material, they release an enzyme that dissolves and de-polymerizes the polymer chain, allowing the microbes to break down the remaining polymer naturally.

What is BDG Technology?

It's a solution that blends seamlessly into the existing glove manufacturing process without compromising the quality of the final product. What's more, BDG technology comprises an organic additive that accelerates the biodegradation rate of gloves in biologically active landfills and anaerobic digesters. So, not only do you get the same high-quality gloves you've come to expect, but they also come with an added layer of eco-friendliness, making it easier for you to do your part for our planet.
