Why can’t I just wash gloves in a conventional washing machine?
The reprocessing in washing machines is ineffective and unsafe. There is no certainty of decontamination of BOTH surfaces of the gloves, inside and out, no way to check for the small and potentially dangerous physical defects, and effective drying, packaging, size sorting would be prohibitively labour intensive and expensive. Furthermore, it would be impossible to control the number of reuses and introduce any practical form of traceability. All this would also need to be done under GMP and FDA approval and without traceability it would be impossible to achieve.
