Sustainability of Latex Compared to Vinyl
Our powder-free latex gloves provide excellent protection and comfort and are more sustainable than vinyl gloves. Latex is a natural material derived from rubber trees, which makes it biodegradable and less harmful to the environment when disposed of. In contrast, vinyl is a synthetic material made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC), which is not biodegradable and releases harmful chemicals, such as dioxins, during production and disposal. There is no Green Vinyl.
Key Sustainability Benefits of Latex
Unlike vinyl, natural latex breaks down over time, reducing long-term waste accumulation in landfills and helping to minimise environmental impact.
Latex is harvested from rubber trees, a renewable resource, making it a more eco-friendly option compared to petroleum-based vinyl.
The manufacturing of latex gloves typically involves fewer toxic chemicals than vinyl production, which relies on PVC and plasticisers that can harm the environment and human health.
By choosing latex over vinyl, hotels can reduce their environmental footprint while maintaining high hygiene and safety standards. Our powder-free latex gloves offer a sustainable, comfortable, and protective solution, aligning with responsible hospitality practices and supporting your commitment to eco-friendly operations.
