About Fikile Mthwalo
I am an actor turned entrepreneur based in New York City. I founded Glubbs - a biodegradable disposable glove company that offers medical-grade examination gloves. The idea for Glubbs came partially in response to COVID-19 and witnessing the tons of plastic waste conventional gloves are contributing to the environment. But the pandemic also brought awareness to the intimidating nature of traditional PPEs (personal protection equipment) hence our commitment to making attractive gloves healthcare workers, their patients and direct consumers feel good about. Glubbs come in sizes XS to L and we have worked closely with our manufacturers to develop sustainable glove that breaks down 100 X faster than conventional nitrile gloves in a biologically active landfill.
