Purifas products have been developed with recycling as a key priority, particularly as medical waste is posing a growing problem worldwide. It’s important to us that we do our bit to reduce waste, improve sustainability and reduce the impact to the environment.
Our BodyShield, FaceShield and PillowGuard Recyclable are made from polypropylene (PP), a versatile thermoplastic used worldwide. PP’s waterproof properties, flexible strength, and resistance to bacteria and chemicals make it the ideal choice for our hygiene products. Plus, we’ve stitched every seam using thermal staking, ensuring they’re 100% recyclable.
But that’s not all. While Australia lacks a kerbside soft plastics recycling program, Purifas steps up. We offer a sustainable solution, allowing our customers to recycle our medical consumables and contribute to the circular economy.

Ensuring top-notch hygiene in therapy and allied health settings is vital for client safety. Shared equipment can easily lead to cross-contamination without strict hygiene protocols. Towels, frequently used in these environments, can harbour bacteria even after washing, posing risks to both clients and therapists. This guide will help you understand these risks, avoid common mistakes and implement the best hygiene practices, all while being environmentally conscious.
