I did some research and it seemed nitrile gloves were the only types of gloves actually accepted by the recycling plants where we lived. Obviously you would probably have to look up where you live as well.
I use nitrile gloves. I have electric cars, solar, compost, don’t use paper towels, but this is the area that I use disposables. In other countries, disposable gloves are washed and reused, but I haven’t gotten there yet. I also am an MD so I guess I am numb to all the glove wastage. But now I feel bad.
