Sustainable First Aid Solutions from a Trusted Supplier

Our range of products, including our NEW eco-friendly HSE-compliant first aid kit, showcases Steroplast Healthcare's commitment to sustainability, balanced with high standards of quality. Our growing selection of sustainable first aid products offers trusted healthcare solutions with an environmentally conscious approach.

Eco-Friendly HSE First Aid Kit

‘A brand new recycled first aid box with 94% less plastic packaging. Now that’s eco-friendly!’

This eco-friendly kit offers a brilliant way to reduce landfill—less plastic means less harmful carbon emissions. Whether you run a business with sustainability KPIs to meet or you’re looking for ways to do your part for the planet at home, this is a sustainable first aid kit you can rely on in an emergency. We’ve combined cutting-edge sustainable design with expertly-made first aid products and supplies, giving you an eco-conscious choice without compromising on safety.

94% plastic-free first aid kit - a UK first

In a bid to minimise waste, 94% of the first aid contents of this kit are free from plastic wrapping. Instead, items like the sterile wound dressings are supplied in medical-grade paper, dramatically reducing plastic waste.

Innovate, new eco-friendly box made from compressed wood and recycled plastic composite

This recycled first aid container is crafted out of plastic recovered through the processing of supermarket shopping bags blended with wood shavings and sawdust. This composite is then pressed under huge pressure into a mould that forms the new recycled first aid box. No virgin plastics are needed.

Made to comply with the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) guidelines

This kit complies with Health and Safety Executive guidelines, so you can rest assured that you will be legally compliant. There is no difference between the products used in our standard HSE first aid kits and this new version, just less plastic packaging.

Comes with a removable wall bracket for high visibility and easy access

Secure your Eco-Friendly First Aid Kit to the wall in your home or workplace to easily access it in an emergency.

Profence Biodegradable Nitrile Blue Gloves

‘The eco-friendly solution in hand protection, designed with safety and the environment in mind’

These blue, powder-free gloves are ideal for medical and food handling use, offering durability and comfort. And, with their rapid biodegradation capability in landfill environments, breaking down 90% in just 490 days, they provide a more sustainable health and safety solution in comparison with traditional nitrile gloves which may take over a century to decompose. By choosing Profence's BDG Disposable Gloves, you're not just selecting a high-quality, safe product for your needs, you're also contributing to a greener, more sustainable planet. 

Product Benefits:

Ambidextrous
Powder-free and latex-free

What’s the difference between the terms biodegradable and compostable?

The main difference between the terms ‘biodegradable’ and ‘compostable’ is that biodegradable materials take an undetermined amount of time to break down, whereas compostable materials will decompose within a specific timeframe in the right conditions. 

Technically, all compostable materials are biodegradable, but not all biodegradable materials are compostable. To break down completely, compostable materials require specific conditions, whereas biodegradable products degrade naturally in a broader range of conditions, though often over a longer timeframe.
