Sustainability

Environmental Impact

The NHS uses approximately 2.4 million single-use caps in Scotland alone annually. Each takes up to 300 years to decompose.

Disposable bouffant 49 kg CO₂e
vs
Reusable cotton 10 kg CO₂e

79% lower carbon footprint over lifecycle

61% mean carbon reduction switching to reusables Meta-analysis, Keil et al. 2023
93% reduction in solid waste Lifecycle assessment
16-19 uses needed to break even on carbon Plymouth NHS Trust pilot

Single operations generate 150-170 kg CO₂e (equivalent to driving 720 km)

Dal Mas et al. 2024

Each reusable cap replaces 200-250 disposables annually, preventing 2.5kg plastic waste per staff member

Dal Mas et al. 2024

NHS sustainability context

  • Operating theatres account for 4-5% of total healthcare carbon emissions
  • Single-use items contribute 68% of surgical carbon emissions
  • NHS Net Zero target: 2040 for direct emissions
  • Switching to reusables could achieve 32% carbon reduction
