As a tattoo artist with a pronounced ecological awareness, it's not exactly easy for you: You work in a profession that is very close to the body - just like doctors and other medical staff - and therefore you have to pay special attention to hygiene. Among other things, you have to protect your equipment and work surfaces for each new customer, which inevitably leads to a lot of waste.
Unfortunately, you can't do without disposable products in your line of work. But why use machine bags, clipcord sleeves, washbottle bags or cover foils that are made from fossil fuels and are hardly biodegradable when Elephant and Ecotat offer good, more environmentally friendly alternatives? And why clean your studio or tools with the harsh chemical cleanser when The Inked Army offers a very effective, yet biodegradable all-purpose cleaner?
Elephant: Gigantic good for the environment!
The renowned brand Elephant Professional Tattoo Products offers you Machine Bags, Pen Covers, Clipcord Sleeves and Washbottle Bags made of the bioplastics Polylactid Acid (PLA) and Polybutylene Succinate (PBS), which are both bio-based and biodegradable.
In the blog "Elephant® goes green" you can find out more about what bioplastics, PLA and PBS are in detail. Click here to go to the blog!
Under the right environmental conditions, these bioplastic bags degrade up to 90% into water, carbon dioxide and biomass in about a year in the compost through the action of microorganisms. In this way, Elephant's protective bags help you to comply with hygiene regulations in an ecologically responsible way and protect your work equipment from all kinds of cross-contamination. Of course, the biodegradable Elephant Bags come to you in recycled paper packaging. Just give them a try!

Ecotat: Would you like a little more?
Like Elephant, Ecotat also offers environmentally friendly Machine Bags, Pen Covers, Clipcord Sleeves and Washbottle Bags. You can also use these products with a clear environmental conscience, because they are made from 100% natural, vegetable and therefore renewable raw materials and are therefore a very good alternative to disposable products made from fossil fuels. In terms of format, the Ecotat products differ slightly from their Elephant counterparts, so you can compare them to find the alternative that suits you best.
Ecotat Covers for Machines and Power Supplies
The Ecotat protective sleeves for machines and power supply units are each 14 x 14 cm in size and available in boxes of 600 pieces. Ecotat Clipcord protective sleeves are available in a 5 x 80 cm format in a dispenser with 250 pieces or as a 5 cm wide and 250 metre long roll. The Ecotat protective sleeves for water bottles are 15 x 25 cm, which is slightly larger than the comparable product from Elephant. We have them ready for you in boxes of 200.
Ecotat's hygienic and environmentally friendly products are generally a little lighter and thinner than disposable fossil fuel sleeves, but that doesn't affect their durability and longevity! Ecotat products also arrive in sustainable packaging made from recycled paper.

Ecotat Surface Protection Sheets

And you will find another important environmentally friendly consumer product in the Ecotat range: Ecotat also offers surface covers for your workplace that are produced entirely from renewable raw materials. The Ecotat surface protection is 120 x 90 cm per sheet. However, you can easily cut it to size if you need a smaller format - and then use it to cover whatever you want to protect from pollution and cross-contamination. Here's an insider's tip: The protective film adheres optimally if you spray the surface with a little water before placing the film over it. The sustainable Ecotat surface protection film is available from us in a box with 30 sheets each.
Organic down to the smallest detail
When furnishing your workplace in an environmentally conscious way, you can go one step further and use biodegradable equipment right down to the smallest detail:
Ecotat Cartridge Tray

The needle module holders from Ecotat are a great organic tool that help you keep your workplace tidy without using any plastic. They are made of cellulose and thus contribute to minimizing the environmental impact of tattooing. In the needle module tray, the modules that you are not using at the moment lie safely in their place. They cannot get dirty, roll around or spill their ink on the work surface. Especially practical are the small containers at the front of the tray: they can be filled with water and prevent the needle modules from drying out. We deliver the hygienic disposable needle module holders from Ecotat in a box with 50 trays. Each box measures 16.5 x 7.5 x 2 cm and can hold up to five needle modules.
