Meet the Team
Vincent Costanzo
My name is Vincent Costanzo and I am a cofounder of the EcoGlove Initiative. I am an intern on the oncology floor of my local Community Hospital in California. Each time I walk into a patients room to do anything I glove up and before you know it I am walking out and throwing my gloves in the trash. These vinyl five fingered waste producers barely have any time on this planet to even make a difference with their single use debut! I decided that something had to be done.
Madeline Cadena
Hi! My name is Madeline Cadena. I am a high school student and cofounder of the EcoGlove Initiative. Last year I began working at a local yoga studio and for hygiene reasons, vinyl gloves are used regularly in the laundry room and during the cleaning of the studio. Seeing how many gloves were used and then thrown away each day made me realize how even well-intentioned places can unintentionally harm the environment. Witnessing this waste inspired me to take action. My goal is to get our EcoGlove bins into as many gyms, medical offices, and studios as possible.
