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.
