Collection Points
• We suggest a standard 240L Wheelie bin as the
weight of items when full is around 25kg which is a
manageable weight to manually handle.
• If required we can brand the outside of the bin
with “PPE RECYCLE POINT”, detailing a list of
the items that can be included.
• Notice inside lid to discourage “rubbish” being
deposited.
• We collect from anywhere in the UK, at any of
your sites, as and when the bin is full or the
project has come to an end.

Solid Recovered Fuel and the circular economy
The circular economy is a collaboration
between the manufacturing and service sectors
for the collective benefit of the economy and
environment.
Within the circular economy, the role of waste
management is to collect, treat and return
secondary resources and recovered energy back
into the cycle of production and consumption.
waste to produce a fuel that can be used in
manufacturing as a sustainable alternative to
fossil fuels. This reduces the need for primary
resources, such as coal, and ensures waste is
put to good use as a secondary resource.
You can see how the Solid Recovered Fuel
process feeds into the circular economy
