Nitrile Glove Recycling

 Most labs assume gloves can't be recycled. Non-hazardous nitrile gloves can, any brand, and a route for gloves which have been decontaminated. 

JOIN THE SCHEME

The highest volume item in your lab

Gloves are changed constantly. In most labs they are the single largest category of waste by volume, and they almost always go to general or clinical waste by default.


That default is rarely a decision anyone made. It is simply what happens when there is no alternative route, and the assumption that gloves are unrecyclable has gone largely unchallenged.


For non-hazardous and decontaminated nitrile gloves, there is now an alternative.

HOW IT WORKS


  1. We deliver your bins. Lined cardboard bins arrive ready to use, labelled for gloves so your team knows what goes where.
  2. Your team fills them. Dry, non-hazardous gloves only, or gloves autoclaved following our guidance.
  3. You book a collection. Through the online portal, once you have five full bins.
  4. We process the gloves and send them for recycling. Your waste volumes and carbon data appear in your portal.

Curious to see how it works before committing?

 

Our 5-box trial lets you test the service in your lab.


We’ll send you:

  • 5 recycling boxes (complete with liners)  
  • A simple guide for implementation  
  • Collection and processing included  

It’s the perfect way to pilot lab plastic recycling in a low-risk, low-cost format

The nitrile glove scheme launches in November 2026. Get in touch to join at launch, or book a waste audit and we will tell you which of our three schemes your lab can use.
