Our award-winning clinical waste collection and disposal service has been built on years of expertise. We are pleased to be trusted by the NHS, leading life science institutions, local authorities and many other sectors who rely on us. By offering a total waste management service, we take care of issues such as segregation, security and traceability. We know that compliance with all necessary legislation is a major concern and take pride in our ability to ensure our customers meet the latest legislative requirements. Sustainability is at the core of our business. We can help you achieve zero waste to landfill by utilising our own Energy from Waste (EfW), Alternative Treatment and High Temperature Incineration facilities. Our public sector and private healthcare customers include NHS Trusts and Clinical Commissioning Groups: hospitals, GPs, health clinics and pharmacies as well as ambulance and mental health services. We service care and nursing homes, dentists, veterinary surgeries, tattoo studios, universities, life sciences establishments, and research and development laboratories. As well as helping facility management, cleaning and washroom companies to achieve their waste environmental goals. We help organisations to launch educational campaigns and are proud of our record in improving waste segregation; boosting recycling; diverting waste from landfill and bettering our customers’ environmental performance by cutting CO2 emissions. From the moment we start working with you, we provide a bespoke and flexible service dedicated to meeting your clinical waste management needs. Founded on the free waste analysis audit we carry out, your customised service focuses on implementing the Waste Hierarchy. Our complimentary pre-acceptance tools are provided to help you ensure your organisation is compliant, whilst sending waste to the most environmentally-friendly and cost-effective facility. Our flexibility, combined with the fact we own and operate a variety of industry-leading treatment facilities, means we can tailor collections based on the volumes of waste you produce, helping to reduce vehicle movements. Your carbon footprint is further reduced by our certified CarbonNeutral® fleet. We offset the carbon emissions of our vehicles through a reforestation programme to avoid adding to your carbon footprint. Our treatment options include sending offensive waste to Energy from Waste facilities, where the incineration process generates green electricity for export to the National Grid. Infectious, orange bagged clinical waste is sent to our Alternative Treatment facility, where it is fed into an industrial shredder and rendered safe through a unique steam treating process, producing a finely shredded dry waste called flock, which can be used as Refuse Derived Fuel. Highly-infectious materials, sharps bins, pharmaceutical, cytotoxic/cytostatic medicines, and anatomical waste will be sent to our High Temperature Energy Recovery Incineration facility. Not only does this divert waste from landfill, but the steam created is used to power a steam turbine to generate electricity. The incineration of infectious waste is up to five times more expensive than the disposal of offensive waste in an Energy from Waste facility, while the Alternative Treatment of infectious waste is around twice as expensive compared to its disposal as offensive waste Encouraging the correct segregation of waste, while ensuring no risks are taken with the disposal of infectious waste, can have a major impact on achieving budgetary savings. All our facilities operate under strict Environment Agency permits. We believe employee education is critical in ensuring all staff understand the do’s and don’ts of clinical waste disposal. We have a suite of educational and engagement programmes, including e-learning, to help promote best practice across your organisation. Colour-coded and UN certified containers, sacks and wheeled bins are provided to help your staff easily and safely segregate different types of clinical waste and activities such as Waste Awareness Days help spread the education message.
