SUSTAINABLE TECHNOLOGY WITHOUT PERFORMANCE LOSS
EcoTek is SW’s patented, environmentally sustainable nitrile glove formula. EcoTek is manufactured sustainably and rigorously tested per the ASTM D5526 standard*. EcoTek is useful for all glove users and industries as it reduces emissions when incinerated.
*EcoTek gloves tested to ASTM D5526-12 Standard Test Method for Determining Anaerobic Biodegradation of Plastic Materials Under Accelerated Landfill Conditions. Results are 92.6% biodegradation in 60% solids landfill at 945 days. Future results cannot be predicted/extrapolated.

In healthcare and industries where glove contamination is a concern, incineration is often required for safe glove disposal. This method ensures the safe disposal of gloves that have come into contact with hazardous materials or pathogens, reducing the risk of disease transmission and environmental contamination.
The Problem:
Incinerating nitrile gloves with high carbon content releases toxic gases like CO2, N2O, NOx, NH3, and VOCs, contributing to environmental and health risks.
EcoTek gloves are designed to reduce toxic emissions during incineration:
- CO₂ (Carbon Dioxide) emission reduced by 13%
- NO₂ (Nitrogen Dioxide) emission reduced by 53%
- SO₂ (Sulfur Dioxide) emission reduced by 82%
- TVOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) emission reduced by 77%
- CO (Carbon Monoxide) emission reduced by 82%
EcoTek offers a smarter, cleaner alternative lowering environmental impact.
*Results are based on third-party testing comparing emissions to a standard nitrile glove, incinerated in a dual-chamber incinerator.
*The reported CO₂ emissions represent the combined emissions from both the glove material and the fuel combusted during the incineration process.
