Only natural latex is significantly degraded by oxidation when subjected to sunlight (UV). However, the level of biodegradability is less than for organic waste. Gloves made of other materials including natural or synthetic fibers are only slighty biodegradable if at all. Polyethylene and cardboard packaging can be incinerated or recycled.
