BIN DESIGN ENCOURAGES


RECYCLING “Given a stimulus to ‘stop and think’, most people would prefer to recycle rather than commit waste to landfill.” Based on this concept, Leafield Environmental, in partnership with the University of Greenwich, has produced the Meridian Envirobin,


designed to encourage users to segregate recyclables from non- recyclable waste at source.


Prior research indicated that as much as 70% of the waste generated in the university was recyclable so a twin-lidded bin was produced with a 70:30 split in favour of the recyclables stream. The ‘stop and think’ stimulus was achieved by putting a lift lid on the non-recyclable waste side while providing clear, instructional signage.


The scheme was a great success, proving the concept and helping the University along its sustainability journey towards a Zero Waste goal.


In order to meet other customer requirements, the 110l Meridian Envirobin has been developed further with a range of lid combinations that include triple lids, and a round aperture module for cans, bottles or cups. A liquids reservoir and lid were also made available and soon after, a 100% open top version and a 70:30 split lid with both sides open.


Seeing the 100% open lid, a customer suggested that a lower version with a smaller capacity would be ideal for use in an office environment and the Mini Meridian was born with a capacity of 87l.


All lids come in WRAP compliant colours, are interchangeable and can be complemented with clear instructional labelling and signage.


With so many lid combinations, the Meridian range could now be considered as the most flexible and customisable waste collection and ‘segregation at source’ solution available.

PPC’S MULTI-TASKING VACUUMS COLLECT


DUST AND LIQUIDS The Preparation Group offers a range of industrial vacuums including ‘H’ type (High grade filter) for collecting dust, debris, contaminants, liquids and spillages, quickly and efficiently. All vacuums are of a robust, heavy duty steel construction and there is a solution for every cleaning application.


The smallest vacuum in the range is the 101DS, with a 1.1Kw motor and a 20l bin. At only 810mm tall it is highly portable and easy to store.


The 2.3kW twin motor, 20l 202DS and 3.5kW three motor, 60l M450 are dual purpose wet/dry models, removing both dry and liquid materials without the need to change the filter system. Energy saving, the suction levels on both

models can be controlled by adding or reducing power to individual motors.


For situations where dust is critical or where toxic and hazardous substances are present, The Preparation Group offers the 202DS LP and M450 LP Longopac Safe Bagging System models. Here, instead of a bin, dust and solid material is collected into a continuous anti-static feeding bag


which is twisted and sealed by the operator into bags for disposal. This gives the operator confidence that airborne particles are safely contained.


All models can be supplied with an ‘L’ (low) filter, ‘M’ (medium) filter, or a ‘H’ type for collecting very fine particle dust and for containing asbestos.
