I’d been searching for biodegradable work gloves and finally found some that I really like. Made for people who do dirty jobs outside, Green Monkey 4-mil nitrile gloves are thin enough to let you grip well, but thick enough to stand up to abrasion. In addition to being among the nicest disposable gloves I’ve used, they’re designed to biodegrade in 10 years in landfills, compared with the 200 years it takes ordinary disposable gloves to disappear. That’s an environmental benefit that you can play up with your clients, and because they’re made of hypo-allergenic nitrile, not latex, they don’t present an allergy risk. A box of 100 gloves costs $20 on Amazon; buy size XXL if you want to be able to remove the gloves and reuse them without turning them inside out. watsongloves.com
