At Glove Academy, we are dedicated to providing a comprehensive platform for glove enthusiasts, professionals, and industry experts to share knowledge, explore cutting-edge glove technology, and stay updated with the latest industry news. Join us in our mission to solve the problems users encounter in the process of using gloves.
PFAS rules are expanding into disposable gloves
Some PFAS regulations now treat disposable food-service gloves like “food packaging,” meaning buyers may need PFAS confirmation from suppliers and stronger compliance documentation.
Move away from vinyl/PVC
Food safety and sustainability teams are increasingly moving away from vinyl/PVC due to performance limits and ongoing scrutiny around plasticizers (phthalates) in PVC applications.
Glove Recycling 101: what can/can’t be recycled + how institutions run it
Glove recycling can work, but only with strict rules: typically uncontaminated nitrile only, clear bin signage, and EH&S alignment so biohazard/haz waste never enters the recycling stream.
Sustainability in Glove Manufacturing
Sustainability refers to the practice of meeting our present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet theirs. It encompasses environmental, social, and economic dimensions, aiming for a balance that allows for the long-term health and vitality of ecosystems, communities, and economies.
