All of our clients have identified a number of reasons why they must find a solution for the Recycling of their Clothing & PPE. Companies registered to ISO 14001 have an obligation to ensure all activities conducted are in accordance with the standard. The Landfill Directive has set targets to reduce 1995 levels of waste, to landfill by 65% by 2020. The Environmental impact of simply dumping the used clothing & PPE into Landfill sites is massive, as most of these products are soiled and contaminated and non-biodegradable. Once sent to Landfill, the mass and volume of these products can be substantial. Years of dumping has now begun to create a growing problem as health & safety legislation commands greater investment in PPE, therefore resulting in more usage / waste.
In light of current affairs, the Risk of Terrorism is unthinkable. Businesses now fear, that if their company logo is printed onto clothing / PPE and these products are sent to Landfill, they could potentially fall into the wrong hands. If terrorists are wearing your uniform, they are likely to go un-noticed and can go onto any restricted access property. Businesses are currently paying for their used Clothing & PPE to go Landfill - why not direct it down an Environmentally Friendly and Secure avenue instead?
SECURE & CONTROLLED Bodyguard PPE Recycling has created a solution, which by controlled incineration will provide Energy from Waste. The system we have in place will allow our clients to dispose of their Clothing & PPE waste safely, securely and will then be channelled down an environmentally friendly avenue. Secure Disposal of your clothing & PPE waste will minimise your commercial liability. We can guarantee your waste will be collected, processed, logo's stripped and disposed of safely, so that it cannot be used by unauthorised secondary parties, terrorists etc. Controlled Incineration is the best method for the safe disposal of clothing & PPE and has many advantages to offer: Mass burning of waste will allow the generation of enough electricity to power 30,000 homes from one site alone - Energy from Waste. The output of waste volume from the incinerator is reduced down by 95%. The remaining 5% is then recycled into other materials, such as metals, glass, tarmacing and aggregates. Emissions are strictly monitored at each site and by the Environment Agency on an hourly basis. The Environment Agency have been granted powers to issue severe penalties to the incinerator plant for noncompliance with missions quotas. The dioxins produced by incineration are completely controlled. Emissions are absolutely minimal in comparison to the greenhouse gases produced from landfill. Controlled Incineration is Environmentally Friendly.
