World-first biodegradable gloves
Showa has launched the world’s first range of biodegradable gloves using Eco Best Technology (EBT).
EBT accelerates the biodegradation of nitrile in biologically active landfills and anaerobic digesters because it’s composed of organic materials designed to make the gloves attractive to microbial activity.
Upon consuming the EBT material, these microorganisms excrete enzymes that depolymerise the nitrile, with the final result being biogases and inert humus.
Lynn River is proud to bring these gloves to the New Zealand market and is offering a range of gardening, chemical-resistant and disposable EBT gloves.

No bull with NO PULL grass trimmers
Push-button battery ignition eliminates one excuse for not getting underway with garden chores. LawnMaster’s NO PULL trimmers come in both single- piece straight shaft and two-piece aluminium curved shaft configurations and both are powered by a 26cc two-stroke motor. In each case, the twin-line, bump-feed cutting system allows a cutting width of 432mm. Both models weigh less than 6kg and their light weight and good economy mean users need only carry a fuel tank of 400ml capacity. Battery chargers are included along with a three-year product warranty. www.steelfort.co.nz
