NHS Worcestershire Trust Adopts Sustainable Uniforms for Net Zero Goal

The Worcestershire Health and Care NHS Trust has rolled out new clinical uniforms for over 3,000 staff. The initiative uses a color-coded system to improve patient safety and role identification across hospitals. To support its Net Zero commitment, the trust selected materials including 100 percent recycled polyester and Better Cotton Initiative cotton. This shift reduces raw material reliance and ensures old uniforms are easier to recycle to cut textile waste.
