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

Compliance

Washing & Compliance

How do we ensure reusable caps are properly cleaned? NHS guidance confirms effective laundering protocols.

30°C

Minimum effective for non surgical.

Removes most Gram-positive micro-organisms including MRSA with standard detergent

NHS Guidance
60°C

Recommended

Removes 99.9% of micro-organisms including C. difficile spores when maintained for 10 minutes

NHS Guidance, 2020

NHS guidance confirms little effective difference between domestic and commercial laundering when protocols are followed

We have Trusts washing internally on 70C with very low breakage, these are built to last.

Standard household detergent is sufficient - no special products required

Our caps are designed for 200-300+ wash cycles before replacement

Facilities should establish a process for managing reusable head coverings: non-linting fabrics, daily laundering, and method—facility or home—defined in policy

— AORN Guidelines, 2021

Best practice recommendations

1

Wash after each use

2

60°C wash cycle recommended

3

Standard detergent sufficient

4

Air dry or tumble dry

5
