Sustainable PPE recycling means saving money and carbon emissions.

We have always had a zero to landfill policy, and we are now working towards zero to incineration.      Our  alternative sustainable PPE recycling solution involves re-purposing end of life PPE and re-purposing it.  We are proud to be saving around 90,000 items a month from needless destruction, and this is increasing weekly as more companies sign up to our service. Because every tonne of textiles produced generates 14.7 tonnes of CO2e, prolonging the life of your PPE is a huge step in the right direction.  https://wrap.org.uk/taking-action/textiles/initiatives/scap-2020

  • We wash and return 80% of gloves and PPE which can be  re-used up to 4 times.
  • We wash and de-brand unwanted PPE that is still fit for purpose and donate it to charity. 
  • We feed NFP single fibre gloves and workwear into the circular economy to be  shredded  and made into waste product fibres (WPF).
  • We donate unwanted footwear to charity and NFP footwear is shredded and re-purposed.
  • We collect mixed fibre NFP gloves  for energy generation from waste (ERW). Exciting  new research indicates they can be used as aggregates instead of sand, our next project!
  • We enable our customers  to offset their Scope 3 CO2E emissions and fulfil their own environmental KPIs,

 

                           Nothing we handle goes to landfill!

Sustainable  WPF Production:

We work closely with Race Recycling in Glossop who provide us with a shredding service for washed PPE workwear and single fibre gloves which fail inspection.  Like us, they also have a zero landfill policy and aim to recycle everything that passes through their recycling centre.

Sustainable Energy Recovery from Waste

Veolia-Shrewsbury-Plant

We feed into Veolia’s HTI Centre which is authorised by the Environmental Agency (EA) under the IPPC provisions of the 1990 Environmental Protection Act. Based in Shrewsbury, Veolia are now supplying power to Shropshire by incinerating waste.

Because the PPE waste we generate is clean, it takes much lower temperatures to incinerate it.

Veolia collects the PPE waste from us monthly service and recycle their own gloves through us too!
