Our Opinion
Even relatively small businesses can use and dispose of hundreds of aprons in a single day, particularly as a result of the global pandemic. This product is trying to find a solution to this ever growing problem. Whilst plastics marketed as "biodegradable" will continue to contribute to plastic pollution if they are lost or littered, they do go some way to lessening the impact on our environment if disposed of correctly. It is important to note that the biodegradability of the plastic may be compromised if heavily soiled during use, and it may not be suitable for landfill if used during medical/clinical tasks. These aprons will perform every bit as well as normal disposable aprons, which are used in huge quantities and are almost exclusively single use plastics. The main positive is that if all aprons were made of biodegradable materials like these, it would represent a significant improvement in terms of the amount of plastic left in the ground, but it is certainly not perfect. By nature, any disposable product is problematic in terms of eco-friendliness and ultimately the greenest solution may be to change/adapt protocols to use less, or incorporate a reusable alternative whenever possible.

Our EcoCentric Ratings
EcoCentric gives ratings on each of our products that show at a glance their eco-credentials and how they compare to ‘traditional’ products that could be used for the same tasks or purposes.
Our ratings are easily broken down into 4 simple categories:
- A score out of 5 which indicates the performance of the product in comparison to ‘traditional’ or not specifically eco-friendly products in that area. This is to show if there’s any trade-off in efficacy in order to achieve a more environmentally friendly product.
- A score out of 5 to indicate just how ‘eco-friendly’ a product is. This score will take into account everything from environmental impact of production and usage to disposal. A higher score here reflects a low impact on the environment at all stages, for example a product made from recycled materials that doesn’t have any negative impact during use and can then be fully recycled would achieve a score of 5. Sustainability of raw materials will be taken into account for products that aren’t made from recycled materials.
- Our opinion on the product. This part of the rating comes direct from us and reflects how we feel about using the product as a replacement for typical options, taking into account the previous two points. This section could be considered a round-up and a recommendation based on the scores the product has achieved and we hope it will help you to make the choice to place your order.
- Colour coded icons that clearly show why the product is considered eco-friendly, showing the extent of the green credentials where applicable, for example showing if the product is made from sustainable raw materials, partially or fully recycled material or from virgin material. The icons will offer a quick and easy way to see if the product is as environmentally friendly as you require.
