NHS Worcestershire Adopts Recycled Uniforms for Net Zero Goals

Worcestershire Health and Care NHS Trust has rolled out new clinical uniforms for over 3,000 staff. While the update improves patient safety through color-coding, it also serves the trust's Net Zero commitment by using 100 percent recycled polyester and Better Cotton Initiative cotton. This shift reduces the reliance on raw materials and ensures that old uniforms are easier to recycle. It is a practical example of how large public institutions are integrating low-carbon procurement into their daily operations to lower overall environmental impact.
