Khwezi Innovations addresses the environmental challenge of plastic waste caused by the improper disposal of disposable latex gloves. Commonly used in industrial, medical, and everyday settings, these gloves often end up in landfills and waterways, contributing to pollution and harming wildlife. In response, the company has developed a biodegradable 2-in-1 glove sanitizer that combines the functionality of a protective glove and hand sanitizer in a single, eco-friendly product. The glove provides up to one hour of protection, then peels off and dissolves in water within minutes, leaving no waste behind. Made from locally sourced organic materials in South Africa, the product supports environmental health while stimulating local green business. This solution offers a sustainable alternative to traditional gloves and contributes to reducing marine plastic pollution and landfill burden.
