Introduction: The Growing PPE Waste Crisis

With the rise in PPE use across industries, the environmental impact of disposable items is a growing concern. Traditional PPE is made from synthetic materials that don’t biodegrade, adding to the global waste problem. At Preserve Earth, we’re committed to reducing this waste by offering sustainable disposal options for end-of-life PPE.

The Problem with Disposing PPE

PPE such as gloves, masks and protective clothing are essential for worker safety but often end up in landfills where they contribute to pollution. Without proper disposal methods, these items take hundreds of years to decompose, creating long-term environmental issues. As businesses strive to reduce their carbon footprint, handling end-of-life PPE responsibly is crucial.

Impact of Traditional PPE Disposal

Disposing of PPE improperly poses not only environmental risks but also public health concerns. Items discarded in regular waste streams may not be handled safely, increasing the chance of contamination and pollution. Sustainable disposal options can significantly reduce these risks while supporting global environmental goals.

Our Circular Approach to End-of-Life PPE

Recycling and Repurposing PPE

We provide a recycling service that ensures materials are repurposed rather than ending up in landfill. We partner with recycling facilities to collect used PPE, separating reusable materials from waste, which is then reprocessed into new products. This reduces waste and promotes a circular economy.

What is the Solution for Ethical and Sustainable Destruction of PPE and Workwear?

To make it easier for businesses to manage their PPE disposal, we offer SecureBrand. With this service, businesses can protect their workers while demonstrating environmental responsibility. Together, we can close the loop on PPE waste, creating a greener future.

SecureBrand offers a tailored approach to textile repurposing, ensuring that materials are recovered and reused wherever possible. This not only reduces waste but also supports a circular economy, where products are designed to be reused and recycled rather than discarded. We are committed to sustainability so that our clients can rest assured that once their workwear reaches end of life it is being handled in an environmentally responsible manner.
