2 With 1,350 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. The Haines® Greeny® has been developed to help alleviate the burden of Blueys on our environment. While we recognise that it will take more than this to overcome the problem, we figure a highly absorbent, certified compostable alternative is a great place to start. Made of cornstarch-based bioplastic with a 5-ply paper fluff pulp top layer sourced from responsibly managed forests, Greenys® are 100% compostable and compliant with AS 473611 and EN 13432 standards. What’s more, they are 60% more absorbent than 5-ply Blueys and 14% more absorbent than 8-ply Blueys. Greenys® are also 14 times more breathable than Blueys. Higher absorbency and better breathability means a Greeny® can remain in place for longer, reducing underpad turnover. Greeny Compostable, 60% more absorbent Underpads 60% more absorbent 100% compostable Blueys are an extremely high-turnover consumable. A recent procurement audit of numerous Australian hospitals (conducted by sustainable healthcare advocacy group, TRASH) found that between 15,600 and 96,000 Blueys were used at each site per year, relative to the number of theatres.
