ELIMINATING THE IDEA OF WASTE®

Science Students Launch Recycling Program for Rubber Gloves

Include USA Zero Waste Boxes Coffee Capsules Nitrile Glove recycling
Chemistry majors go through a lot of synthetic rubber gloves. On any given day at the College of Charleston that could mean hundreds of pairs of the tight-fitting blue or purple nitrile gloves. Until recently, those gloves were simply discarded into the local waste stream (the ones contaminated with toxic solutions are neutralized first). But now, a new program will ensure that the majority of them are recycled.
