These Compostable, Disposable Gloves Are Ready for COVID-19 Fight
In the ongoing fight against COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus that’s now hit more than 200 countries, it’s the basics that can make the biggest difference. Staying home, obviously — but also wearing protective masks, faceshields, and gloves to help slow down the spread of the virus. That last item, gloves, is a tough one, though. Disposable gloves are recommended, but conventional nitrile or latex gloves can create a huge disposal problem. What’s needed are disposable gloves without a big carbon footprint, and a startup company called Eco Gloves may have developed just that.
