Safety and hygiene all in one place
12 March 2025
ELIS OFFERS a one-stop-shop for a wide range of safety and hygiene solutions. The company unites PPE and the circular economy to deliver a more streamlined and sustainable solution than self-procuring, and partner with businesses across the UK to help keep employees safe, comfortable and protected.

The company supplies garments for a wide range of sectors, and the range includes basic essentials through to highly functional and specialised items for bespoke applications.
Its fully-managed PPE garment solution allows customers to focus on delivering specialist services that enable their associates to make the world healthier, cleaner and safer.
Keeping you compliant
For organisations that work within critical supply chains and manage hazardous materials in high-risk environments, employee safety and wellbeing is paramount. Staff uniforms play a vital role, acting as a crucial line of defence against a multitude of hazards.
PPE can only remain optimal if properly cared and maintained. As an employer, you have an obligation to ensure that the PPE you are providing your employees with is fit for purpose.
All Elis garments are compliant with relevant industry standards, and our professional managed laundry services uses industrial equipment with carefully monitored programmes and processes to ensure they remain so throughout their lifecycle, staying clean and in good condition.
What does it mean to partner with Elis?
The company's garment management solution allows its customers to seamlessly safeguard their workforce and focus on delivering critical innovations. Following a comprehensive site audit, our consultants can recommend specialist garments to suit a variety of employee functions, mitigating the hassle associated with managing multiple suppliers.
Additionally, as part of our managed garment service, PPE items are repaired or replaced as needed to ensure employees stay protected in alignment with best practice health and safety principles.
RFID tracking: enhancing traceability
For enhanced traceability, each garment is chipped with an RFID tag so that individual items can be monitored throughout their lifecycle, tracking details such as when each product is washed, repaired or replaced as needed.
Optimising sustainability: PPE and the circular economy
As a member of the circular economy, its workwear rental model ensures that all Elis garments are laundered to a high standard and repaired seamlessly, maximising garment lifecycles to offer a more sustainable solution than the standard self-procuring and laundering process where garments are repaired rather than replaced.
Choosing Elis means choosing a group committed to delivering a quality service and reduced environmental impact. Sustainability is at the heart of its business model, and Elis is proud to have achieved the EcoVadis Platinum Sustainability rating, which puts us in the top 1% of the companies assessed by EcoVadis.
Quintessential lean manufacturing
Keeping track of the cleanliness and integrity of garments is necessary to protect your employees and support their wellbeing at work. However, this can be a time-consuming undertaking, which can distract from the core function of your daily operations.
Elis says its combined service offers an efficient solution to help you provide your employees with clean and well-maintained workwear, helping you keep your staff safe while at work, and enabling you to focus on managing your business rather than PPE garments.
As well as workwear and PPE, Elis offers washroom products, consumables, matting and wipers, and can supply items suitable for a wide variety of applications, including food production, catering and industrial environments.
