We have some exciting updates to share across partnerships, product improvements, and media coverage.

Progress Highlights

Size colour-coded tags have been added to all Eco Ninjas hats, making central laundering and sorting easier than ever. We've matched the NHS scrub colour system: Yellow = Small, Brown = Medium, White = Large, Pink = XL.

Our hats have also passed further rigorous wash tests and are fully approved for repeated laundering. We've also upgraded from standard cyber security to Cyber Plus, ensuring even greater protection for all our partners and customers.

Partnerships & Laundry Solutions

We're pleased to announce partnerships with two major laundering providers. Johnsons Workwear, with locations across the UK, can now collect, wash, and return Eco Ninjas hats purchased by hospitals using net bags for easy tracking and sorting. Elis allows hospitals already using their service for scrub laundering to simply add our hats to the same service. Both Johnsons and Elis guarantee that the exact same hats are returned to the same hospitals, every time.

BBC Media Update

I was recently interviewed by BBC Somerset, alongside an orthopaedic surgeon who implemented our hats in his Trauma & Orthopaedic department six months ago. The BBC is also now producing a video feature on our badge hats, highlighting the positive impact they're having in theatres — we'll share this as soon as it's available.

Community & Events

Last week, I attended several life sciences events in Birmingham, meeting fantastic innovators, professors, and sustainability leaders. The response to our badge hats was overwhelmingly positive, especially from those with experience in surgery or as patients. Exciting times ahead.
