Eco-Friendly PPE Disposal: How Preserve Earth Helps Your Business Go Green
Practical steps for retiring PPE and workwear through secure collection, brand protection, destruction and documented recycling outcomes.
Planning end-of-life PPE and workwear disposal
Retired PPE and workwear need a disposal route suited to the items involved. Branded clothing can create a risk of misuse if it returns to circulation. Before arranging collection, describe the materials, condition and any contamination so suitable handling can be confirmed.
Secure collection that fits your requirements
Scheduled textile collections can use lockable bin units at your site. One-off collections can also be arranged directly from your premises. Provide photos and details of bags, sacks or pallets when requesting a quote.
Brand protection and product destruction
Preserve Earth’s secure brand protection and product destruction service covers unwanted, outdated and counterfeit goods. Secure destruction prevents branded items from returning to circulation. Where hazardous components are involved, inspection and decommissioning are part of the product destruction process.
Textile processing and recycling
The textile recycling service covers end-of-life uniforms, PPE and fabrics. Items are securely destroyed to protect the brand, and fibres are broken down for remanufacturing or recycled into insulation, soundboards and geo-textiles. The textile service describes a zero-to-landfill route; suitable handling for your specific items should be confirmed before collection.
Documentation and next steps
A certificate of destruction is provided for textile collections, and an Environmental Impact Statement can be requested. Share your PPE and workwear requirements through the textile recycling page to arrange a quote and confirm the collection route.
