Say Hello to Greeny – A Smart, Sustainable Choice for Healthcare

The Environmental Challenge of Traditional Underpads

Traditional plastic-backed Bluey and Pinky underpads play a vital role in healthcare; however, they have long been associated with concerns around comfort and environmental impact, particularly due to their sweatiness and single-use plastic composition.

These concerns are amplified by their extremely high turnover in clinical use. As single-use consumables, Blueys and Pinkies are used in large volumes across healthcare facilities.

A procurement audit of numerous Australian hospitals (conducted by sustainable healthcare advocacy group, TRA2SH⁵) found that between 15,600 and 96,000 Blueys were used at each site per year, relative to the number of theatres. With 1350 hospitals in Australia alone, that equates to roughly 75 million Blueys (over 1,950 tonnes) every year, taking over 100 years to break down when disposed in landfill.⁴
