Uplevel Your Communication -  Actress and Founder of Glubbs™ Sustainable Gloves

Fikile Mthwalo, founder of Glubbs™, shares her journey from being an actress to becoming an entrepreneur in the sustainable glove industry. GLUBBS are biodegradable disposable examination gloves that break down in 3-5 years, unlike traditional gloves that take 200+ years. Fikile emphasizes the importance of spreading awareness about the toxic materials used in current gloves, such as vinyl, which contains harmful chemicals. She debunks the myth that eco-friendly products are always more expensive and lower in quality. Fikile aims to positively impact the environment and uplift people through her brand and storytelling. Takeaways Transitioning from one career to another can be seen as an expansion rather than a complete change. Eco-friendly products are not always more expensive and can be of the same or even better quality than traditional products. Spreading awareness about the harmful materials used in current gloves is crucial for making informed choices. Storytelling and brand positioning can play a significant role in promoting sustainability and engaging people in the cause. Company Website:  https://wearglubbs.com/ LinkedIn: Fikile Mthwalo Email: [email protected]
