Yes, however, it's the other chemicals they mix it with that make it not biodegradable. Thankfully there are some companies not using those chemicals now which is lovely.

Also, for those who are allergic to latex, unfortunatley the only option is polyurethene which is plastic, and as such not at all biodegradable.

Nitrile is an option as well. They don't contain the protein that triggers allergic reactions

We didn't find anything about Nirtrile and protection. Could you clarify?
