In daily life, we often use plastic PE gloves. Plastic gloves are disposable items that are easily consumed in daily life. We use a pair for stewed food, a pair for crayfish, and a pair for home hygiene. While plastic gloves provide us with convenience, they also cause a certain degree of environmental pollution due to excessive use and lack of recycling, becoming "white garbage". As environmental protection becomes more and more important, we need to enhance our environmental awareness and pay attention to this matter.

Biodegradable PLA gloves are disposable gloves made from polylactic acid (PLA), a biodegradable and bioactive thermoplastic derived from renewable resources like corn starch or sugarcane. Unlike traditional disposable gloves made from synthetic materials such as nitrile or latex, PLA gloves are designed to break down more quickly and sustainably in the environment. Here’s a detailed look at compostable PLA gloves:

Benefits of biodegradable gloves:
1. The performance remains unchanged during the shelf life, and after use, it can be degraded into inorganic substances such as carbon dioxide and water under natural environmental conditions, becoming nutrients for plants and will not pollute the environment
2. Easy to use, not only green and healthy, but also very convenient to use
3. The raw material source of biodegradable gloves is very environmentally friendly. The raw material comes from polylactic acid PLA, which comes from plant resources such as corn and potatoes. It is green, environmentally friendly and sustainable. It will not come from petroleum like plastic PE gloves, which is not sustainable, and the production process is very polluting.

When purchasing compostable gloves, we need to try to choose large platforms for purchase. When purchasing, you need to confirm the ingredients of the biodegradable gloves with the merchant, which are generally polylactic acid PLA, polyadipate PBAT, and starch. Others such as PE+starch are pseudo-degradable gloves, not qualified degradable gloves, and need to be purchased with caution.

Biodegradable PLA gloves are a promising alternative to traditional disposable gloves, offering significant environmental benefits through the use of renewable resources and compostable materials. As technology and manufacturing processes advance, the performance and accessibility of compostable PLA gloves are likely to improve, making them a viable option for a broader range of applications.
