Biodegradable Nitrile Gloves
I don't see that AG sells biodegradable gloves so I'm hoping it is okay to mention this here.
Showa's biodegradable gloves are _finally_ back to the lower price that they were 3 years ago. This is currently only on the large size. I've been using these gloves for some time now. According to articles, these gloves breakdown in about 1 year. This is opposed to normal nitrile gloves that take hundreds of years. I think about all of the gloves that we must use in a day... and then multiply that by 365.
These are a _little_ more expensive then non-biodegradable gloves but in my case, I don't mind spending the extra $2 per box. For those detailers who do a lot of work, this may impact your bottom line, I get that.

I'm not trying to take away from AG's sales... it just means a lot to me that perhaps people consider gloves that breakdown more quickly.

I don’t mind paying a little extra but for XL there double what I pay from HF and their pretty thin at 4 mil. You do have me thinking about it though and will shop around for BD gloves when I need more.

Re: Biodegradable Nitrile Gloves
It's great to know that Showa's biodegradable gloves are finally back to a lower price point, and it's even better that they break down in just a year compared to hundreds of years for regular nitrile gloves. I think it's important to consider the impact we have on the environment, even in small things like the gloves we use every day. I also want to suggest checking out the raven black nitrile gloves from https://harmonycr.com/raven-black-nitrile-glоves/. They're not biodegradable, but they're made with recycled materials and are more durable than regular nitrile gloves, so they can last longer and reduce the need for frequent replacements.
