SINGAPORE (June 7): Top Glove Corporation has launched its flagship ‘green’ product, an environmentally-friendly variant of disposable nitrile gloves designed to biodegrade in anaerobic environments (i.e. where there is little to no breathable oxygen), such as in landfills.

The news comes on the heels of Top Glove’s March 22 announcement that it had formed a Sustainability Committee to implement its sustainability strategy and initiatives covering environmental, social and economic aspects as well as embedding sustainability practices into the group’s businesses.

Introduced in conjunction with World Environment Day on June 5, the new BioGreen Biodegradable Nitrile Gloves (Powder-Free) provides an “end-of-life solution” which will contribute to reducing the accumulation of waste in landfills, says Top Glove in a press release on Wednesday.
