Earth Overshoot Day marks the date when humanity’s demand for ecological resources and services in a given year exceeds what Earth can regenerate in that year. For the UK, that date is May 19th. For the rest of this year we will be depleting the earth’s natural resources unless we make a conscious effort to buck the trend. Most PPE is generated from the petro-chemical industry, it’s manufacturing process and transportation only adds to carbon emissions and an increased carbon footprint. 95% of PPE can be washed and re-used, but despite this, most is treated as single use protection and discarded when dirty, usually into landfill. Staysafe’s PPE recycling for re-use programme will save you up to 70% on new replacement costs and help to reduce the global carbon emissions goals. Why not sign up for a free PPE recycling trial, nothing to lose and so much to gain?
