Why sustainability matters in healthcare
Healthcare is about protecting lives – and that includes the planet we share. From reducing waste to cutting carbon emissions, sustainability is becoming a priority across the NHS and private healthcare providers. Choosing eco-friendly scrubs and sustainable healthcare uniforms is one way to make a difference.

What are eco-friendly scrubs?
Eco-friendly scrubs are made from recycled fabrics or responsibly sourced materials. They help reduce plastic waste and lower the environmental footprint of healthcare apparel. Every garment made from recycled polyester means fewer bottles in landfill and less virgin plastic in production.
