Disposable gloves create a lot of plastic waste. More buyers now ask suppliers for a biodegradable glove that handles like a standard PE glove but breaks down after disposal. If you import, distribute, or sell under your own brand, this shift affects your product range.
Forever Green is a China-based manufacturer of disposable plastic products. We have made gloves and related items since 2008. This guide explains how our biodegradable gloves work, what to check before you order, and how to request a quotation. It is written for importers, wholesalers, OEM buyers, and procurement teams.
Our biodegradable disposable gloves are made for bulk supply. We use ABT (anaerobic bio-degradation technology) and fully biodegradable plastic particles. The gloves keep the strength buyers expect from a normal disposable glove, and they store longer than many other degradable materials.
Main product advantages:
Ask our team about packing formats such as box, bag, or card. These are the formats buyers already know from our Disposable PE Glove range.
Our factory is in Zhangjiagang, Suzhou, Jiangsu Province. We run optimized automated production lines and follow a clear four-step flow:
Buying direct from a factory removes middle layers. You talk to the team that controls material, production, and shipping. That helps with price control, lead time, and problem solving after delivery.
Standard plastic gloves stay in landfill for a very long time. Our biodegradable glove is different. When it enters an anaerobic environment, such as a landfill, a biogas pool, or soil 50 cm below ground, degradation starts. It runs in three stages:
According to our technical data, this process does not produce microplastics.
Specifications depend on your market and use case. We confirm the final details with each buyer before production, so the glove fits your customers.
Tell us your target size and thickness. Buyers usually ask for different sizes for different user groups, and for lighter or heavier film depending on the task. We check length and thickness during production, so the bulk order matches the agreed sample.
Color and packing are flexible for OEM orders. Share your needs, such as box, bag, or card packing, inner pack quantity, and carton size. If your customers want a different material, compare this range with our CPE Glove and TPE glove products.
A good supplier does more than quote a price. Buyers check material, quality control, communication, and export experience. Here is what we offer:
The last point helps distributors. You can order gloves together with our Disposable Apron and other protective items from one supplier. That saves time on communication, payment, and shipping.
Many importers sell under their own brand. We support OEM and private label orders for biodegradable gloves. You can discuss these options with our team:
Send your artwork, target market, and expected order quantity. We will confirm what is possible and arrange a sample before mass production. A clear brief at the start saves time later.
MOQ, price, and lead time vary by specification. Thickness, size, packing, order quantity, and destination all affect the final offer. We do not publish fixed numbers here, because a generic number rarely fits your real order. Send your requirements, and we will reply with a clear quotation.
For a fast and accurate quote, please send:
For long-term cooperation, share your yearly demand. This helps us plan production and keep supply stable.
Samples reduce risk. They let you check fit, strength, feel, and packing before you commit to a bulk order. Ask about sample terms for our biodegradable glove range through the Contact Us page, or send an email with the details listed above.
Our team replies with product advice, a quotation, and shipping options. If you need technical support on material or degradation data, include that question in the same message.
Restaurants, bakeries, and food counters use disposable gloves for fast tasks such as prep and serving. Buyers in this field must check food-contact rules in their own market. See the food safety section below.
Cleaning crews change gloves often. A biodegradable option reduces plastic waste in daily use. Check your thickness needs for wet and dirty tasks before you order.
Salons use gloves during coloring, washing, and treatments. Film strength and fit matter here. Request a sample and test it with the products your customers use.
Care settings, workshops, and households need simple hygiene protection. Our biodegradable gloves suit light-duty tasks where a disposable barrier is enough.
Biodegradable gloves are disposable gloves made from plastic that breaks down through biological action after disposal. Microorganisms convert the material into natural compounds such as carbon dioxide and methane, depending on the environment.
Biodegradable does not mean the glove disappears in days. Time and conditions matter. Our ABT material is designed for oxygen-free conditions such as landfills and biogas pools.
Food safety depends on the material, additives, and the rules in your target market. The USA, the EU, the UK, and other regions each set their own food-contact requirements. We do not make a blanket safety claim in this article. Before you buy for food service, ask for test reports that match your market.
Practical checks before ordering:
Our team can discuss the documents available on request.
According to our technical data, ABT biodegradable gloves degrade in about 120 days to 3 years under anaerobic conditions. These conditions include urban landfills, biogas pools, and soil about 50 cm below ground. Time changes with temperature, moisture, and microbial activity.
The gloves do not start to break down on the shelf. Storage life is up to 3 years, so distributors can hold stock without fast quality loss. Keep cartons in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Buyers often mix these terms. The table compares three glove types. Data for ABT and PLA/PBAT materials comes from our technical comparison.
| Item | Regular plastic glove | Compostable (PLA/PBAT mix) | Anaerobic biodegradable (ABT) |
| Degradation condition | Not designed to degrade | Industrial composting under controlled conditions | Anoxic or anaerobic conditions, such as landfill |
| Degradation time | Very long | 90 days to decades | 120 days to 3 years |
| Degradation cost | Not applicable | 1,900–2,400 per ton | No degradation cost |
| Microplastics | Can fragment into microplastics | Produced | Not produced |
| Mechanical property vs. common plastics | 100% (baseline) | 35% | 100% |
| Storage period | Long | Less than 1 year | 3 years |
| Effect on soil | Persists in soil | Can harden soil | No hazard |
Compostable gloves need industrial composting to work as designed, and many regions lack that infrastructure. Match the glove type to the waste handling in your own market.
Certificate needs differ by country, so we handle this case by case. This article does not list certificates, so you can rely only on documents you can verify. Ask us for current test reports and certificates before you order.
Documents buyers commonly request:
Send your destination market, and we will tell you which documents we can provide.
Quality control runs through the whole process. We follow in-process inspection, incoming warehouse inspection, and pre-delivery sampling inspection. The checks cover appearance, dimension, thickness, and water tightness. Our five inspection steps are:
These checks reduce defects before goods leave the factory. You can read more about our factory and process on the About Us page.
What is the MOQ for biodegradable gloves?
MOQ depends on size, thickness, and packing. Send your requirements, and we will confirm the MOQ in your quotation.
Can I get a sample before a bulk order?
We support sample requests. Contact our team for sample terms, and tell us your preferred size, thickness, and packing.
Can you print my brand on the packing?
Yes, we support OEM and private label packing. Send your logo and artwork, and we will confirm the options for your order.
Do biodegradable gloves decompose in a normal trash bin?
They are designed for anaerobic conditions such as landfills and biogas pools. According to our technical data, degradation takes about 120 days to 3 years, depending on conditions.
What is the shelf life of your biodegradable gloves?
Our technical data shows a storage period of 3 years. Keep cartons in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Which countries do you ship to?
