Bio PLA gloves
Bio gloves made of PLA by NatureStar
The sustainable alternative for hygiene areas and food processing: organic disposable gloves made from renewable raw materials that can be composted after use. The organic gloves are made of corn starch and are equal to ordinary standard PE gloves in terms of hygiene and comfort. The organic disposable gloves are food safe and therefore suitable for use in food areas.
Until now, plastic was often the only material used for gloves and clothing in food areas for hygienic reasons. Now Franz Mensch is setting new standards and has developed an environmentally friendly alternative under the NatureStar brand: the gloves are made of a compostable bio-plastic. The material is called PLA and is a 100% biodegradable copolymer - following EN 13432 for industrial compostability.
In terms of their properties, the PLA organic gloves are very similar to conventional PE gloves. They can therefore very well replace the petroleum-based standard gloves and are ideal as hygiene gloves, product protection and to prevent contamination in sensitive areas. The organic disposable gloves made of PLA are odorless, tasteless, water repellent and have a loose fit. They are soft and comfortable to wear. Organic disposable gloves are ideal for those who need disposable gloves due to hygiene regulations, but still value sustainability.
Tip: As a perfect complement, you can also purchase a sustainable alternative to ordinary PE aprons from Franz Mensch - the organic disposable aprons made of PLA!
The properties of the bio gloves made of PLA at a glance:
made from renewable, plant based raw materials
compostable in accordance with EN 13432
environmentally friendly PLA, obtained from corn starch
food safe
tasteless and odorless
wearable on both sides
water-repellent
hygienic product protection
non-sterile, comfortable to wear
Interesting facts: How the sustainable gloves are made
The organic gloves are made from so-called PLA (polylactide). PLA is a bio-plastic that is obtained solely from plants. The starting material is starch from corn plants. For NatureStar's disposable clothing, only industrial corn is used and no food plants. Fermentation produces lactic acids, which are first processed into granules and later into film. The sustainable disposable gloves are made from this film.
Since only renewable raw materials are used, the PLA glove is 100% compostable and sustainable. Another plus: During production, up to 60% less CO2 is emitted than with conventional plastic.
The gloves made from PLA can either be industrially composted, fermented or recycled. In industrial composting, the material decomposes into CO2 and water. Fermentation produces recyclable bio-gas. In a sorted recycling, the used PLA can be collected again as raw material corn starch, so in the next step new products can be made from bio-plastic. In any case, the CO2 and other material cycles remain closed.

PE gloves from Franz Mensch
Disposable gloves made of PE are an inexpensive hygiene solution and particularly versatile. PE gloves are made of so-called polyethylene. Polyethylene is a thermoplastic and can be processed into all imaginable shapes. Besides gloves, overshoes, aprons or garbage bags are also made of PE. Buy your PE gloves directly from the manufacturer Franz Mensch - simply order here in the store.
There are three types of PE, which differ in their material density and thus also in their properties:
- LDPE (Low Density): LDPE is soft, stretchy and flexible. It feels denser than HDPE and hardly rustles.
- HDPE (High Density) is stiffer and more abrasion resistant than LDPE. HDPE rustles when you move it. HDPE material can be produced very economical and thin. Therefore, products made of HDPE are very cheap in price. Typical HDPE product is the diesel gloves at the gas station.
- MDPE (medium density) is twice as strong as LDPE, but not as rigid as HDPE. MDPE is very tear resistant and more durable than LDPE.
All PE materials are ideal for hygienic areas. The major advantages of PE are that it is food safe, tasteless, very inexpensive and recyclable. PE gloves are suitable for low-risk areas and short periods of use.
Areas of application for polyethylene gloves:
- as diesel gloves at the gas station
- at sales counters to touch fruit or pastries
- for food distribution, for a hygienic distribution of the food
- at self-service stations for touching the food products
- for rinsing and cleaning work
- in food processing and meat industry
- as hygiene gloves in the kitchen
- in medical areas, e.g. in nursing or for veterinarians
Clever detail: The structure of the surface on PE gloves
Disposable PE gloves differ not only in material density (LDPE, MDPE, HDPE) but also in their surface properties. Franz Mensch, as a glove professional, has both smooth polyethylene gloves and variants with a hammered surface.
- Advantage smooth surface: no chance for germs, very hygienic, washable, soft feel, stretchable.
- Advantage hammered surface: improved grip, comfortable to wear as glove rests against the skin in fewer places, feels more airy.
Advantages of PE gloves at a glance:
- Very favorable
- odorless and tasteless
- recyclable
- skin friendly, because latex free
- food safe
- loose fit
Compared to other disposable gloves such as latex gloves or nitrile gloves, polyethylene gloves provide a lower protective barrier against chemical, biological or mechanical hazards. PE gloves are ideal for short periods of wear in low-risk hygiene areas.
Even more hygiene with the right dispenser
PE disposable gloves from Franz Mensch are hygienically packed in a dispenser box or a hygiene bag (also available blocked). As accessories you can get here in the store suitable wall holders and stainless steel dispensers, which ensure a clean storage. At the same time, the gloves are always ready to hand at the place of use.
New generation of PE gloves
At Franz Mensch, you will find two special materials in addition to the classic LDPE or HDPE gloves:
- TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomers), a material with silicone-like qualities. The main raw material for production is natural & synthetic rubber, which is combined with the functionality of a plastic. This skin-like material is odorless, is free of plasticizers and silicone, good elasticity and strength.
- CPE (Cast Polyethylene), a material that is very skin friendly, free of alkylphenols, silicone and latex. The specially roughened material (acts like air cushion) does not lie on the hand and provides an airy effect for the skin. It can breathe better and stays dry longer.
