When hospitals consider moving away from disposable theatre hats, the conversation often starts with sustainability and cost. Disposable hats are not only wasteful but also misaligned with the NHS 10-Year Plan

Two inspiring days at the BMJ Future Surgery Conference in London ✨

Our founder, Danielle Checketts, shared the story behind our reusable Theatre Badge Hats, and the response was incredible 💬

It’s amazing to see how a simple, sustainable idea can spark such meaningful conversations - improving communication, enhancing inclusion, and supporting safer surgery for all 💚

Did you know surgeons may not know up to half their team during a single operation?
Names matter; they build trust, reduce confusion, and keep patients safer.

Reusable Eco Ninjas badge hats make visibility simple, sustainable, and safer. 💚

In aviation, one simple design change saved lives.

Pilots once confused two switches > landing gear and flaps, until engineers redesigned them to make the safer choice the easier one.

That same Human Factors thinking applies in healthcare.
When communication fails in theatre, it’s rarely human error - it’s a system design issue.

Eco Ninjas hats make identification clear and communication effortless.
Because better design means safer care. 💚

What if safety in surgery wasn’t about you, but about everyone around you? 💭

At Eco Ninjas, we believe safety in the operating theatre should be a shared responsibility, not just an individual one.

Here’s what we’ve learned from other high-risk industries 👇
🦺 In construction, visibility saves lives.
🚧 High-vis clothing and helmets protect the team, not just the wearer.
🩺 In surgery, the same principle applies. Clear visibility means safer teamwork and better outcomes.

That’s why we designed our reusable name and role badge hats inspired by the logic of road safety and colour psychology:
🔹 Blue for full-time staff
⚪ White for students
🟡 Yellow for visitors
🔴 Red for team leaders

They help teams:
✔ Instantly recognise roles and responsibilities
✔ Reduce miscommunication
✔ Build stronger, safer theatre culture

Because safety isn’t a rule — it’s a shared promise. 💚

Every role matters. Every voice counts. 💙

Behind every successful procedure is a team — communicating, supporting, and working together.

At Eco Ninjas, we believe teamwork in theatre starts with clarity and connection.

Every month, the UK sends around 1.6 billion single-use face masks to landfill.
Add in gloves, aprons and disposable theatre hats, and the amount of waste from hospitals is hard to ignore.

🌍 Climate change isn’t just about the planet.
It’s about people, patients and the future of healthcare.

At Eco Ninjas, we believe small changes can have a big impact.
Our reusable name and role badge hats are helping reduce thousands of single-use theatre hats that would otherwise end up in landfill.

A typical 20-theatre hospital can throw away more than 100,000 disposable hats every year.
Our hats last up to three years, cutting waste, saving resources and supporting NHS Net Zero goals.

Because real progress starts with one small, meaningful change. 💚
