Silentia's sustainability focus

Silentia have developed its foldable hygiene screens with durability in mind. Textile curtains are commonly used to separate beds and patients in hospitals, at doctors’ offices and in clinical environments. Textiles are prone to collecting bacteria, so they must be washed regularly to maintain a sanitary environment. As a result, their durability is reduced and they also have a considerable environmental impact from water and laundry detergent use.

Silentia’s durable screens can be cleaned on the spot with any disinfectant, extending their lifespan and reducing waste. Not only does Silentia strive to source environmentally friendly materials, but the hygienic design also makes the product a more sustainable choice during the use phase. Silentia found that even with a strong sustainability focus, quantifying their efforts and actions remained a challenge.
