Biodegradable PPE - Now Available from Cleanflow
In today's environmentally conscious world, finding sustainable solutions without compromising on quality is paramount. This is why we are excited to introduce two of our standout products: Showa 6112PF biodegradable disposable nitrile gloves and BioSoft biodegradable disposable earplugs. Both are designed to provide exceptional protection while minimizing environmental impact.
The Eco-Friendly Edge
Biodegradability: Both our Showa disposable nitrile gloves and BioSoft disposable earplugs are engineered to break down significantly faster than their conventional counterparts. Utilizing advanced biodegradable technology, these products decompose rapidly in biologically active landfills, helping to reduce waste and support a cleaner planet.
Environmental Impact of Gloves: Did you know that of the 150 billion pairs of disposable gloves produced every year, an estimated 100 billion pairs are thrown away? As a result, piles of gloves end up in landfills each year. Showa's 6112PF Black Disposable Nitrile Gloves with Eco Best Technology (EBT) decompose within 1 to 5 years in active landfills, where regular nitrile gloves need more than 100 years. These abilities have been validated by independent certified laboratories using international test methods ASTM D5511 and D5526.
Innovative BioSoft Earplugs: The BioSoft earplug foam material provides the same fit and performance as conventional polyurethane or PVC materials, but with a lower carbon footprint. This innovative technology not only reduces emissions during manufacturing but also contains bio-based materials, making BioSoft more environmentally friendly at the end of use. BioSoft earplugs decompose 76% within 180 days, significantly reducing their impact on landfills compared to traditional materials.
Comfort and Convenience
Showa Nitrile Gloves: Our Showa biodegradable nitrile gloves are crafted with user comfort in mind. The gloves offer a form-fitting, second-skin feel that enhances dexterity and reduces hand fatigue, making them ideal for prolonged use. They are also latex-free and powder-free, eliminating the risk of allergic reactions and reducing contamination risks. With features like water resistance, textured fingertips, and antistatic properties, they provide reliable protection in various settings.
BioSoft Earplugs: Similarly, the BioSoft earplugs are designed for a low-pressure fit, providing superior comfort for all-day wear without causing irritation. They offer exceptional noise reduction capabilities, with a Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) of 32 and SNR 38, ensuring effective hearing protection in noisy environments.
Applications Across Industries
Versatility in Use: These eco-friendly products are perfect for a wide range of applications. The Showa nitrile gloves are suitable for food preparation, laboratory work, mechanical tasks, and general maintenance, thanks to their waterproof and durable construction. The BioSoft earplugs are ideal for noisy environments such as construction sites, factories, and public events, offering excellent noise reduction capabilities.
Health and Safety Standards: Both products meet rigorous health and safety standards. The Showa nitrile gloves feature antistatic properties and meet EN ISO 374-5:2016 and EN ISO 374-1:2016 / Type B standards for protection against microorganisms and dangerous chemicals. The BioSoft earplugs have been independently tested to ensure they provide reliable noise reduction and meet the highest standards for hearing protection.
Shared Benefits
Environmental Impact: Both the Showa biodegradable nitrile gloves and BioSoft earplugs reflect a commitment to environmental sustainability. By choosing these products, users contribute to reducing landfill waste and promoting eco-friendly practices. The Showa gloves decompose by 82% in just 386 days, while the BioSoft earplugs decompose 76% within 180 days, making them both highly efficient in reducing environmental impact.
Durability and Reliability: Despite their eco-friendly nature, these products do not compromise on durability or performance. The Showa gloves are resistant to water and chemicals, ensuring reliable protection in various settings. The BioSoft earplugs, made from bio-based materials, maintain their noise reduction capabilities and structural integrity even after extended use.
