Recycling & Waste Management Refuse sack specification made simple
bpi.recycled products, Europe’s largest
manufacturer of refuse sacks, has launched a new refuse sack selector
ntroduced as part of the business’ commitment to offering the best products backed by the highest levels of service and support, the guide makes it easier for customers to choose from the manufacturer’s extensive portfolio of products which includes recycling sacks, compostable sacks and The Green Sack™ range of ultra- low carbon footprint, 100% recycled refuse sacks. Rachael Barton, marketing communications manager at
bpi.recycled products, explains: “
bpi.recycled products is committed to offering added value solutions and the introduction of our new refuse sack selector is a direct reflection of that. “Choosing refuse sacks may seem like a simple enough decision but for the large volume user, it’s a choice that can have huge implications. If you choose

an overspecified product, you could be committing to unnecessary costs and the more sacks you use, the more the effects of this are multiplied. Similarly, opting for an underspecified product can cause damage to customer relations, corporate
reputations and staff morale if that product isn’t fit for purpose.
“For those customers where we enjoy a direct relationship,
bpi.recycled products always offers best practice advice on product selection but our new guide is of particular benefit to those organisations who buy our products further
along the supply chain. In short, it’s a case of making our expertise as one of Europe’s largest and most experience refuse sack manufacturers as widely accessible as possible.” To help simplify the specification process, the new product selector – downloadable from The Green Sack™
website –
www.thegreensack.co.uk – employs flowcharts to help customers navigate
bpi.recycled products’ range. It enables them to choose the ideal refuse sack based on the waste’s eventual destination (landfill or composting) as well the environment in which the sack will be used – including general, domestic, high security and industrial settings.
Further guidance is given on choosing coloured sacks for recycling schemes and also on how to specify sacks that are the correct volume and the right grade to cope with any likely weight requirement. Rachael Barton concludes: “For
bpi.recycled products, the provision of first class service and support is every bit as important as new product development, technical innovation and reliable product quality. We aim to be a complete solutions provider and the launch of our product selector is just the latest in a long line of initiatives that already includes marketing collateral, a range rationalisation service and product training. “We hope it will enable customers to specify products that are perfectly suited to their needs and that are ultimately able to contribute to their continued operational and commercial success.”
to new, larger premises, in response to strong global growth and an increase in demand for its services within the recycling industry.
A big Impact in the recycling industry I
Impact Air Systems expands to new premises in response to global growth
mpact Air Systems, the Leicester- based waste extraction and separation company is celebrating its relocation
The independently-owned company designs, installs and maintains systems that provide worldwide waste management companies with an efficient way of extracting and separating waste in order to reduce landfill and to increase the value of their recyclables.
Nick Ball, Impact Air Systems’ Owner and Managing Director joined the company as work experience/van driver, at the age of 18, buying the company at the age of 32. Since then the company has enjoyed phenomenal growth and now installs air system solutions throughout many recycling and manufacturing companies across the UK, Europe, Japan, Russia and the US. He comments on the relocation: “The recycling industry
Building & Facilities Management – December 2013
is experiencing exponential growth right now – it’s worth over £25 billion in the UK alone. And growth means more demand for the systems and service that we provide. It’s a dynamic industry, but it still has a long way to go, and it’s services like ours that are helping to innovate and develop breakthrough technology – it’s an exciting time.”
Nick and his team of 30 has relocated to a two-storey building with a 2,900sqft warehouse, which is now home to its Parts Replenishment Department and most
importantly a new and improved Recycling Test Facility, where customers can bring samples of their materials to be separated and can ‘try before they buy’. Nick believes the Recycling
Test Facility has played a huge part in the company’s recent success: “Our new recycling test facility enables us to run regular waste

management trials, which ultimately lead to a satisfied customer and a new installation. Aside from the commercial benefit of this, it also means more and more recyclable materials are being recovered, saving thousands of tonnes of landfill per system installed.” The larger premises also provide the opportunity for further product development and Impact have many new ideas in the pipeline.
