At Soulful Scrubs, we’re very aware of the impact fast fashion has on the planet — and we choose not to follow fast fashion trends. We’re always exploring ways to make our products better, not just for our customers but for the environment we all share.

A lot of thought and intention goes into every single design. Each print is created with care, and we only release limited quantities. That means our scrubs are unique — and it’s unlikely someone else will be wearing the same style as you on shift. We love that for you.

We hope our scrubs are something you treasure and care for, so they can last longer and bring joy to your everyday work. Please treat them with the same care you give your patients.

As a brand, we believe sustainability is layered and complex. What's seen as “good” or “bad” in fashion can vary depending on who you ask. We admire brands that find creative ways to reuse textiles and reduce waste. But when it comes to synthetic fabrics like polyester and nylon — even those that are upcycled — the truth is, they’re still made from plastic. And plastic is made from oil.

When synthetic garments are washed, tiny plastic fibres — called microplastics — break off and enter our waterways. In fact, around 1,900 microplastic fibres can be released in a single wash. These microplastics eventually end up in our oceans and marine life, and studies have even detected them in rainfall. Wearing polyester regularly also means constant contact with plastic against your skin — something we don’t believe should be the norm in everyday workwear.

That’s why we’re proud to offer scrubs made from 100% cotton. Cotton is a more natural, breathable option — gentler on your skin and kinder to the environment.

We also recognise that the healthcare industry already produces enormous amounts of plastic waste — from single-use PPE to packaging and medical disposables. As a small brand, we don't want to add to this crisis. That’s why we avoid plastics wherever possible, including in our packaging. Every Soulful Scrubs parcel is packed using recyclable paper and tissue. We encourage you to recycle it when your scrubs arrive.

We know there’s no perfect solution, but we’re committed to learning, evolving, and doing better — one thoughtful decision at a time.
