Biodegradable nitrile, engineered in Switzerland. Scroll to see how.

Same protection.
Different ending.

Cat III nitrile. EN 374, EN 455, ASTM D6319. The barrier you trust — engineered to disappear.

Nitrile,
but listening.

An organic additive at sub-percent mass. Dormant in storage. Active only when buried.

Portrait of Luca Tarqua, founder of LTE GmbH
Luca Tarqua Nürensdorf · ZH
We built LTE around a simple idea: protection should perform long after the point of use.
Luca Tarqua Founder & CEO
LTE GmbH Swiss enterprise hygiene systems

LTE GmbH was built around a simple operational observation: single-use protection systems generate massive downstream waste with almost no recovery infrastructure attached to them. After working across logistics, procurement and enterprise supply chains in Switzerland, Luca Tarqua began developing a closed-loop nitrile system designed for real operational environments — not theoretical sustainability concepts. Today, LTE deploys biodegradable nitrile solutions across aviation, hospitality and facility management environments, combining certified protection standards with measurable sustainability data and enterprise-grade operational execution.
