climate-conscious medical face masks for forward thinking healthcare.
Small change, big impact
the world needs you to lead the way
At Ecodefend, we KNOW you care about the health of people, the health of the environment, and the health of your business. But you need you to show that to everyone else.
Ecodefend makes pioneering PPE to help leaders in healthcare make sure their business practices reflect their ethics.
Now, we can’t help you with which Government is in charge or how negatively the media portrays healthcare. We can’t help change your budgetary or staffing constraints. We can’t help your patients finally take the health advice you’ve been patiently giving them for years…
…But we can help you change the impact you have on the planet, and the public’s perception of how much you care.
In the height of COVID, 3 million masks were discarded every minute, each one taking up to 450 years to biodegrade, and each releasing microplastics into our fragile ecosystem.
This is forecast to cause 250,000 extra deaths annually by 2050 from malnutrition, malaria, diarrhea, and heat stress.
Despite this, healthcare professionals have no choice but to use this harmful single-use PPE. There’s no other option.
That is, there used to be no other option… until ecodefend made one
Choose to use more climate friendly masks and be the leader in better healthcare for people AND the planet.
How can less climate-harmful PPE help your organisation?
Build Your Brand Image and Reputation
Today’s consumers expect brands to be climate conscious. In fact, 90% of Gen Xers said they’d spend an additional 10% or more for sustainable products compared to just over 34% of them two years ago. A huge 82% of people will vote with their wallet if they don’t feel that a brand aligns with their values.
What ethics are you conveying to your clients through your choice of facemask?
Be a first-choice Employer and Get Your Pick of Applicants
64% of millennials consider a company’s social and environmental commitments when deciding where to work. In an environment where jobseekers have more power and more choice, will you lose top talent to ‘greener’ employers?
Blame for the climate crisis is shifting away from individuals and instead towards businesses. Be among the first to adopt compostable PPE and not only prevent your organisation from being scapegoated, but emerge as a green leader actively doing your part to help combat climate change.
How are you demonstrating that you care about more than profit to potential employees?
Don’t Miss Out on Investments or Funding
Most funding streams ask organisations to show their excellence in managing environmental and social factors as part of funding applications. 83% of investors believe a company’s ability to do so either improve returns or reduces risk.
Can you afford to lose out on potential investments?
Customers know when you’re just virtue signalling
Consumers aren’t stupid. They know the difference between an organisation making empty ‘greenwashing’ promises, and one that’s serious about creating culture change.
Setting green targets and writing climate change policies is not the same as taking REAL action and your clients and patients know it. They expect an organisation’s actions to line up with their promises.
Show you’re an influencer of culture,
not just a follower
Collaborating with sustainable suppliers will unleash innovative technologies and greener value-chains into the mass-market faster. Lead the change by influencing customer behaviours and shaping a sustainable culture.
Do you want to be first or last to adopt products that are better for the environment?
Stay ahead of legislation change
Embrace the winds of change in business. Plastic bags and single-use cutlery are history, petrol and diesel are on their way out, and ESG reporting is about to become mandatory. Governments tighten the noose on harmful products with relentless new targets.
The era of responsibility has arrived, and monetary fines loom large for those who don’t comply.
Two paths lie ahead:
1) Seize the initiative, manage regulation risk now, and lead the charge, or
2) Pay the price later with costlier catch-up strategies.
The choice is yours. Act decisively or risk falling behind.
Ecodefend’s obsession is eradicating single-use micro-plastic health products across industries. We take our mission to heart and we demonstrated action and leadership when we created Australia’s FIRST fully compostable facemask.
You needn’t share our fanaticism – we know you have other things to do in providing world class healthcare and healthcare supporting products to other organisations…
…but, if environmental health AND business success matters to you, then consider joining us in pioneering change by choosing compostable facemasks.
Here’s what people have to say…
“I travel a lot for my job and recently used Ecodefend’s facemask for the first time on an 8-hour international flight. It was the first time ever I’ve used a mask and felt comfortable the entire time. I genuinely felt like I could breathe easier and I know I’m helping save lives and not ruin the environment.”
