Traditional Methods: The Hidden Costs

Cloth Pillowcases: An Unseen Drain on Resources

Cloth pillowcases, the traditional choice for many PT clinics, have long been seen as a standard item. However, behind the scenes, they contribute to significant financial, water, and electricity wastage. Healthcare facilities spend millions annually on laundering these cloth pillowcases. To break it down further, the laundry costs associated with a single full-time PT can cost a clinic over $1000 per year.

This financial drain is accompanied by an environmental one. Laundry processes contribute to millions of gallons of water waste annually, with a single PT’s laundry consuming over 5200 gallons of water each year. On top of this, the energy required for laundering is substantial, adding to the already significant carbon footprint of healthcare facilities.

Paper Pillow Covers: A Pricey and Wasteful Alternative

Paper pillow covers, often seen as a convenient and disposable alternative, also come with their own set of problems. Despite appearing economical at first glance, paper pillow covers are incredibly expensive in the long run. The cost associated with a single PT’s paper pillow covers can spiral to over $3000 per year.

Moreover, the environmental impact is stark. Paper pillow covers generate enormous amounts of paper waste and contribute to deforestation. Each year, a full-time PT is responsible for the equivalent of two trees in paper pillow cover waste.

EcoPro Pillow Covers: The Sustainable Solution

In this context, EcoPro pillow covers emerge as the sustainable, cost-effective solution that PT clinics have been seeking. These covers cost between $59 and $79 per cover and when properly cared for, can last for many years to come. This is tremendous savings compared to the costs associated with cloth and paper pillow covers. Over the product’s five-year lifespan, these savings are even more significant, providing clinics with tangible financial benefits.

Another standout feature of the EcoPro pillow covers is their ease of cleaning and durability. They are reusable and do not require any laundering, thereby saving both time and resources.
