gloves

Background

Consumers are becoming increasingly concerned with the environmental impact of the products and services they use, and so there is great demand for products which purport to minimise harm to, or benefit, the environment. This focus on sustainability has led to the proliferation of products with various green claims, however, many of which may mislead consumers and/or exaggerate any environmental benefits. Biodegradation-promoting additives (also referred to as enzyme-mediated biodegradable additives) are claimed to make conventional (typically derived from fossil fuels and non-biodegradable) polymers (such as nitrile) attractive to microorganisms and therefore biodegradable (in landfill conditions) when incorporated with the polymer, thus proposing an end of life solution for non-recyclable polymers (including nitrile gloves). The exact mechanism by which these additives supposedly function is yet

The global Covid-19 pandemic has accelerated innovations and brought opportunities for product enhancements.

Polyco Heallthline teamed up with industry experts to develop a range of gloves treated with Sanitized AG antimicrobial additive. The additive inhibits microbial activity improving the hygiene of the products.

The Sanitized® hygiene treatment protects the gloves from microbial growth, odours and provides long lasting material protection.
