SUSTAINABLE PROTECTION
The direct environmental impact of disposable PPEs is a growing concern due to the immense waste and growing pollution involved with the manufacturing and refuse of these products. The creation and use of reusable PPE is a way to reduce overall energy consumption, water usage in production, and total solid waste generation. Cost saved in energy resources outweighs upfront cost of purchasing the reusable materials overtime with the added benefit of protecting our 'aina and its precious resources.
When you choose reusable gowns instead of the single-use alternatives, you reduce 25x of waste in landfills while achieving:
Reduction in natural resource energy consumption
Reduction in greenhouse gasemissions (measured as CO2 eq emissions)
Reduction in total water consumed (blue water)
