Recycling

Aluminium Foil Banks

Recycling is part of the natural lifecycle of Aluminium. Because the metal can be simply remelted using only around 5% of the energy used in primary production. And because it can be recycled time and again without loss of quality Aluminium retains a high scrap value which drives high recycling rates in each end user sector.

Alu Foil Banks Recycling - rather than producing aluminium from bauxite - makes sound economic sense for the industry: capital costs are lower, recycling plants Are smaller and more flexible, and the plants can be located closer both to sources of feedstock scraps, and markets for the recycled metal.
The recycling rate does not include the recycling of production scraps (such as the metal left when round foil containers are stamped from the foil reel). Quantities available, together with aluminium's high value, mean that this metal will nearly always be returned for recycling.

Battery Recycling

As the chemicals in batteries are so corrosive European legislation has issued directives for the safe disposal and recycling.  The containers below have been designed and manufactured to help you separate the batteries from the normal waste so that they can be disposed of.

Excerpt from the European Directive;

The Directive aims at minimising the negative impacts of batteries and accumulators on the environment and also harmonising requirements for the smooth functioning of the internal market. To achieve these objectives, the Directive introduces measures to prohibit the marketing of some batteries containing hazardous substances. It contains measures for establishing schemes aiming at high level of collection and recycling of batteries with quantified collection and recycling targets. The Directive sets out minimum rules for producer responsibility and provisions with regard to labelling of batteries and their removability from equipment.

Cardboard Recycle Bins

Since October 2007 Government Regulations have stated that all businesses must recycle part of their waste.

This page contains products which are manufactured from sustainably sourced materials, which also contain a high percentage of recycled paper fibres. To minimise 'manufacturing miles' all products are made in the UK. From site of manufacturing to the distribution centre is 99 miles (Chinese Imports typically 11,000 miles)

UK recycling bins

Green Bin & Liners This product offers a low cost & effective entry into any waste paper recycling initiative, whilst enhancing the office environment by being a practical and fun to use product.

The re-usable ‘Green Bin Liners’ prolong the life of the bin, whilst enabling the contents to be easily removed and identified as 'Recycled Waste’ rather than 'Landfill Waste’.

Green Bin Liners are on a continuous roll with tear off perforations which assist with storage and dispensing.

With around 80% of all office paper waste being of good recyclable quality, a recycling initiative such as this will have a major impact on reducing landfill waste, whilst putting a ‘stick in the ground’ for future goals in carbon footprint reduction.

Size: 360mm W x 677mm H
Capacity: 60 litres
Material: Up to 80% Recycled Corrugated Board

Greenbin recycle bin

Deskside Recycling Unit This slimline desk recycling unit fits snugly at the end and beneath the lip of your desk.

There are four compartments for the storage and separation of:

Cans – Plastic – Paper – Waste

The four bin units are held in place with one common lid and base.

Having a waste compartment included within the recycling bank allows users to deposit all material in one visit. The smaller combined unit also allows more bins to be conveniently situated in an office environment, rather than having to visit more remote and (less used) larger bins.

Manufactured in the UK and made from up to 80% recycled fluted board, the Deskside Unit aims to be a product with a low carbon footprint. From our manufacturing site to our storage and distribution centre is only 99 miles.

The patented ‘drop out base’ allow full loads to be accessed by lifting the body of the bin unit in an upward direction, leaving the full sack in base ready for removal.

Optional bin liners facilitate easy removal of the contents, whilst the see through liners allow identification of the contents.

Capacity: 42 litres (4 x 20 litres)

Deskside Recycling bins for the office

Available with or without plastic liners

Pedestal Recycling Bin The ‘Pedestal Recycling Bin’ was developed for two purposes, firstly so that commonly used recycling bins could be kept beneath a desk out of sight, and secondly to ensure they were used effectively.

The ‘Pedestal Recycling Bin’ facilitates the effective depositing of recyclable waste. This discreet unit allows more bins to be conveniently situated in an office environment, rather than having to visit more remote and less used receptacles. By allowing your office workers to separate waste at source it will lead to greater care, participation, willingness and accuracy in the separation of your waste.

The blank ‘identity’ panel at the front and back of the lid enables the nature of your recycling bin to be flexible. Four labels are supplied for suggested recycling uses, and a further four (pealable) labels can be customised by running them through your own coloured inkjet or laser printer.

Three visibility holes in the front will allow cleaners to gauge if the bin requires emptying

Desktop recycle trays

The 'reusable' recycling bin liners are manufactured from 'Virgin' Polythene. This creates a lower carbon footprint than manufacturing a bag containing recycled material.

By using 'Virgin' material you are able to maintain an accurate and consistent degree of strength in the bags.

Bags which contain 'regrind' (recycled) filler have to be 'over-engineered' to overcome the fluctuations in poor quality regrind material that is used in the batch.

Ethylene is a 'by product' of refining petrol. Barrels of oil are not used specifically to produce Polythene

Around 40% more carbon is produced in manufacturing a recycled bag over a virgin polythene bag

Mega bin with two separate double wall compartments

This unit consists of two separate double wall compartments held together with a common lid and base. Ideal for the recycling of stretch Wrap & Cardboard. Mega Bin is designed to sit on a ‘Standard’ pallet. By lifting the body of bin in an upward direction, it will leave the bin liner nestled in the base ready for removal. The bin liners facilitate the easy removal of full bags whilst also allowing you to identify the recycled contents (additional Mega Bin liners supplied in rolls of 50). The Mega Bin packs flat into a ‘clam shell’ configuration for ease of storage and transportation.

Key Product Data

  • Bins & Liners manufactured in the UK (Low carbon footprint)
  • Bins manufactured from recycled fluted board
  • Recycled contents of bins up to 80% (typically around 70%)
  • Fluted Board is from sustainable source
  • Bin Liners are reusable (biodegradable bags cannot be recycled)
  • Bins are Biodegradable
  • Manufacturing miles = 99 (China typically 11,000 miles)
  • Manufacturing miles’ is the distance between the manufacturing point and the UK storage and distribution centre.
  • The Bin Liners are manufactured from a 'by product' of petrol refining (Ethylene). It takes less energy to manufacture a virgin polythene liner than is does to manufacture a recycled bin liner. Unlike biodegradable liners, our polythene liners can be recycled. No barrels of oil are used specifically to make Polythene.


Our reusable bin liners are clear, this enables the contents of the bin to be clearly identified as recycled waste and not landfill waste.

Government ‘Pre Treatment’ regulations came into force October 2007. These regulations stipulate that all businesses must recycle part of their waste.

Landfill tax is increasing every year, making the disposal of conventional waste more expensive. Recycling may enable you to reduce your waste disposal costs.

Effective recycling is all about: Presentation – Communication – Participation
