Biodegradation in 490 days (ASTM D5511)
By switching to NATRLE, your clinic could prevent 0.270 tons of plastic waste from lingering in landfills for over a century.
Healthcare generates over 5 million tons of waste annually. Every box of NATRLE makes a difference.
NATRLE gloves feature our proprietary EcoDegraâ„¢ formula, a specially engineered polymer that attracts microbes found in landfill environments. The gloves maintain full integrity during use and only begin biodegrading when exposed to landfill microorganisms.
Naturally occurring microbes attach to the EcoDegraâ„¢ glove surface in landfill environments.
Microbes excrete specialized enzymes onto the glove surface that target the polymer structure.
Enzymes break down polymer chains into smaller molecular units that microbes can consume.
Fragments convert into biogas (COâ‚‚), water (Hâ‚‚O), and inert soil (biomass residue).
EcoDegraâ„¢ efficacy has been verified by independent laboratories using the ASTM D5511 method, which determines anaerobic biodegradation under high-solids conditions that replicate landfill environments.

Our smart packing technology ensures every glove is alternately layered perfectly, allowing you to dispense one glove at a time, as intended. No more grabbing multiple gloves and wasting product.
Unlike conventional packing that causes multiple gloves to dispense at once, GoodPackâ„¢ ensures clean, single-glove dispensing every time.

Every feature designed for veterinary and medical professionals who need eco-friendly exam gloves without compromising performance
Our biodegradable formula is independently tested to 81% biodegradation in 490 days under ASTM D5511 and 30% in 202 days under ASTM D5526; the actual rate depends on landfill conditions and microbial activity, not 100+ years like standard nitrile.
Tested to ASTM D6978 for permeation resistance to hazardous chemotherapy drugs used in veterinary oncology.
Same quality as premium gloves without the eco-premium markup. Sustainability shouldn't cost more.
Smart packing allows single-glove dispensing, reducing waste and cross-contamination in clinical settings.
Safe for users with latex allergies. Premium nitrile formula maintains full integrity until disposal.
Meets ASTM D6319 tensile strength standards (≥18 MPa before aging, ≥16 MPa after aging). Same protection, greener disposal.
Healthcare generates millions of tons of glove waste yearly. NATRLE helps combat that without changing your workflow.
No compromise on durability, protection, or comfort. Just better for the planet when disposed.
We believe sustainability shouldn't come with a premium. Same price, better environmental impact.
