We all use them, especially in this day and age! Disposable gloves are a mainstay in labs, medical facilities, and even in our homes. But have you ever stopped to think about where those handy helpers end up after they’ve served their purpose? The answer is often a landfill, where they can take hundreds of years to decompose.
That’s why Robert Kline Art is passionate about providing easy and sustainable ways to dispose of your used disposable gloves. We believe that small changes can make a big impact, and recycling your gloves is a step towards a greener, cleaner world.

What Happens to My Gloves?
“At Robert Kline Art, we are committed to transparency in our recycling process,” says [Insert Fictional Expert Name Here], Head of Sustainability at Robert Kline Art. “We want our customers to understand the journey their recycled materials take.”
Here’s a glimpse into the journey of your discarded gloves:
-
Arrival and Sorting: Your box is received at one of our trusted TerraCycle Material Recovery Facilities (MRFs), where it is scanned and sorted.
-
Cleaning and Processing: The sorted gloves undergo a cleaning process to remove any contaminants. They are then broken down into raw materials.
-
New Beginnings: The recycled materials are sold to manufacturing companies, who use them to create new products, completing the recycling loop!
This process not only reduces waste in landfills but also conserves resources and prevents pollution.
