Nitrile Glove Recycling
Project Description
ISTC performed a preliminary pilot of the nitrile glove recycling program that is managed by Terra Cycle, for Kimberly Clarke Professional. The pilot addressed the collection of gloves used in the laboratory setting to one central location. Containers were distributed into each of the labs at ISTC where the users put spent gloves into the containers. Once a week the containers were emptied into a larger collection container, which is stockpiled until there is a large enough volume to ship out to the recycler. The goal of this project is to further expand the pilot test to several buildings on campus. The desired outcome would be to create a collection system that can service the entire campus.
