PPE procurement gets fragmented across suppliers, product lists, emails and spreadsheets. Buyers need more than products. They need confidence that they are sourcing the right protection, from trusted suppliers, with clear information and service someone will answer for.

RealPPE was created to simplify that. We are a B2B PPE, workwear and workplace protection platform helping organisations source trusted products, branded solutions and specialist support through sa single platform. Founded in 2022 and 100% black women-owned, we supply organisations across South Africa.

• Protective clothing and high-visibility workwear for industrial and operational environments.

• Healthcare PPE, safety signage and selected workplace safety solutions.

HerPPE: Inclusive PPE for Women
Our own category, cut for women in trades. Because one size fits all PPE isn’t protection. It’s a liability with a label on it.

And we are building beyond the order
PPE management should not end when the product is delivered.
We are developing the next phase of RealPPE around PPE lifecycle visibility, including digital issuance records, storeroom intelligence, compliance tracking and ESG-ready reporting.

The goal is simple: when someone asks what was issued, to whom, when, whether it remained compliant, and where it ultimately went at the end of its useful life, the answer should be available in one place.

ESG, Lifecycle & Circularity

At RealPPE, we believe workplace protection should create value beyond the point of purchase.

We are building a more responsible PPE ecosystem by helping organisations improve visibility across the PPE lifecycle, strengthen ESG reporting, support more inclusive supply chains and reduce unnecessary waste.

Our future platform capabilities are being developed around:

Lifecycle visibility
Digital issuance records, storeroom intelligence and better tracking of what was issued, to whom, when, and when products should be replaced or retired.

ESG-ready reporting
Helping organisations turn PPE and supplier data into clearer evidence for governance, social impact and environmental reporting.

Supplier inclusion and market access
Creating access to market for smaller, specialist and locally based suppliers, including manufacturers of women-focused PPE, emerging Black-owned suppliers and local safety technology innovators.

Enterprise and Supplier Development support
Our technology and operational capability can also support SMMEs that have secured corporate or mining contracts but need stronger systems, fulfilment capability or infrastructure to deliver reliably.

Circular PPE
Over time, we aim to support take-back, recycling, repurposing and end-of-life tracking for qualifying PPE, helping organisations reduce waste and move toward more circular workplace protection practices.

Our goal is simple: protect people today while building a safer, more accountable and more sustainable PPE ecosystem for tomorrow.
