As we are beginning to move towards our new normal in the realms of a pandemic, we are forced to adapt in all aspects in our lives.
It’s clear that COVID is going to be part of our lives for quite a while, but we are finding ways to live with it and make the safest and smartest choices to help gain back our sense of normality.
We are here to help you ensure your business minimises transmission as much as possible. As important as it is to keep your customers safe, it’s just as important to keep your staff safe too. We have all the products you require, but we have picked our top five most useful COVID safe items.
Number 5 – Gloves
During this pandemic, gloves have become a necessity for most businesses and for some time, a rare commodity. We have a wide range of gloves which can be used for a wide range of applications, to suit any kind of business.
Powdered gloves allow users to don the glove easily. Nitrile gloves feel the most like not wearing a glove.
Number 4 – Sanitisers
Hand sanitizer is a quick and simple way to kill germs and limit the spread of any kind of virus. Stop the spread on entry and exit with a waterless application.
Number 3 – Wipes
Take your pick of traditional or sustainable wipes, both being highly absorbent and suitable for cleaning up mess and germs.
By choosing the environmental choice that is made from bamboo, you are opting for the fastest growing resource on the planet. It is sustainably sourced, absorbent and completely biodegradable. The best part is, it’s wrapped in paper, making it a completely plastic free product.
Number 2 – Individually Wrapped Straws
Paper wrapped straws are designed for hygiene and the environment! Wrapping the straws individually means that they can be free for customers to grab, without sacrificing our health. Australia is also moving towards a nation-wide ban on single-use plastics. Each state has different legislation around plastics bans. Click this link to find out what’s happening in your state. This is why the transition to paper straws is so important. Our straws made of FSC certified paper and made to last a drink, not a lifetime! So help the forests and the oceans!
Number 1 – Individually Wrapped Cutlery
Just like straws, it’s out with plastic, and in with the sustainable! Most states are also banning plastic cutlery, so we have switched to a wide range of wooden options with the additional hygienic benefit of them being individually wrapped. This prevents the spread of germs, and also can cut down on costs of cutlery packs, as you’re only providing the relevant cutlery and customers then only take what they need. It’s the smart solution.
