United Global Trading Corp. Launches ShieldON(R) EcoSeries Biodegradable Nitrile Gloves

LONG BEACH, CA / ACCESSWIRE / June 19, 2024 / United Global Trading Corp. has introduced ShieldON® EcoSeries, a line of biodegradable nitrile gloves. This product includes the EcoBlue, EcoGreen, and EcoBlack variants, addressing environmental concerns in medical, dental, laboratory, and industrial sectors.

Standard nitrile gloves can take decades to degrade, leading to significant environmental challenges. However, ShieldON EcoSeries gloves degrade by 67% within about 23 months in landfills. These gloves use an organic additive that attracts landfill microbes, resulting in natural disintegration into biogas, water, and inert soil. They meet ASTM D5526 and ASTM D5511 standards for biodegradability and performance.

The gloves offer the same protection, durability, and comfort as traditional nitrile gloves and are FDA-approved. Furthermore, they have been tested for use with chemotherapy drugs and fentanyl citrate, enhancing their application in critical healthcare settings.

United Global Trading Corp. encourages industry professionals and healthcare providers to adopt ShieldON EcoSeries for their protective needs, supporting global efforts to reduce plastic waste and promote environmental sustainability.
