Sustainability of hospital clothing

Research on the sustainability of hospital clothing


A research on the current status of the sustainability of the hospital clothing produces by Dickies was done. Besides finding out about the current status we also investigated what changes can be made to the design and materials to make the clothing more sustainable. The wearers and hospital managers were involved as well to see whether they would be willing to invest in this and what design changes could suit their expectations.
