Showa Best Glove’s Research & Development team says that its Eco Best Technology (EBT), which accelerates the biodegradation of nitrile in biologically active landfills and anaerobic digesters, is a major breakthrough. EBT is composed of organic materials designed to make Green-Dex attractive to microbial activity. These microorganisms upon consuming the EBT material excrete enzymes that depolymerise the nitrile. The final result is biogases and inert humus.

The Green-Dex gloves maintain the same physical properties (texture, appearance, etc.) as regular nitrile gloves.
