Introducing the Future of Food Service

Handgards® has once again set the standard for innovation and excellence with the re-launch of our all-new PlanetGards® Compostable Gloves, now presented in smaller packaging.  Biodegradable Products Institute (BPI) certified, FDA compliant, and commercially compostable, PlanetGards are designed with the planet in mind.

Our new “green” initiative paves the way to make sustainability accessible and a reality.  By choosing PlanetGards compostable gloves, you’re not only prioritizing food safety and hygiene, but also sustainability. 

New, Reduced Packaging: More Value, Smaller Carbon Footprint

One of the most exciting features of the Handgards PlanetGards Compostable Gloves is the revolutionary reduced packaging design that offers an incredible 150% increase in the volume of gloves in each case, increasing from 400 to an impressive 1,000 gloves per case. This new packaging, completely made of fully recyclable material, enhances the value proposition for our customers. 

By reducing the size of the packaging and increasing the volume of gloves, less re-ordering is required, thus reducing shipping and minimizing carbon footprint.  In addition, reduced packaging ensures that our gloves can be conveniently stored in any part of a restaurant layout. This seamless integration of practicality, utility, and sustainability underscores our commitment to providing our customers with solutions that prioritize both functionality and convenience.

Sustainability

As the industry evolves to meet zero waste goals, the choice of PlanetGards compostable gloves converts a single-use every day non-food item used throughout the restaurant industry into the possibility of compost or mulch, a process which reduces landfill waste and methane emissions while aligning the food service industry with sustainable practices.  Ideal for university or workplace cafeterias, senior living/retirement centers, delicatessen restaurants, and convenience store kitchens or bakeries.   

Features and Applications

Handgards PlanetGards Compostable Gloves continue to be durable, loose-fitting disposable translucent green gloves ideal for quick on and off applications such as sandwich or salad prepping.  They remain compostable in an industrial composting facility after they have served their purpose.  Available from size medium to extra-large, PlanetGards are compostable if correctly disposed at a proper industrial composting facility.
