Style meets convenience in
new recycling bin The new EnviroStep pedal bin from Leafield Environmental is proving to be a favourite individual desk bin for recycling.
Slim enough to stand back against the wall in corridors and open offices, the durable, rotationally- moulded 90-litre EnviroStep stands 970mm high, ideal for ergonomic efficiency.
The bin sports front castors and an integral handle, overcoming the problem of carrying full, vulnerable and
potentially heavy sacks to collection points.
With a single aperture and pedal-operated lid, the Envirostep Single is ideal for collecting heavy waste such as food or paper but is equally suitable for collecting general waste or mixed recyclate. The Envirostep bin comes with WRAP compliant colouring and labelling as standard, although personalisation options are available.
EnviroStep bins are moulded from a durable polyethylene blend, and for food collection can incorporate a non- leaching silver component that ensures effective anti- bacterial protection for the lifetime of the product, helping to keep surfaces clean and hygienic.
As waste management and recycling rise up the agenda for many companies, the EnviroStep from Leafield Environmental offers a stylish, convenient and hygienic collection option.

of non-food contact applications where previously prime polymer was used. An early adopter of SUSTANE is the recently launched sustainable shrink film, X-EnviroShrink, developed by RPC bpi protec.
X-EnviroShrink is a flat shrink film made using a minimum of 30% post-consumer recyclate. It is helping RPC bpi protec’s customers meet their ambitious sustainability targets whilst at the same time creating a film that boasts a high print quality, can be produced on the company’s existing machinery and with a performance comparable to prime material in its function and strength.
One of the first customers to use X-EnviroShrink is Radnor Hills, a leading water and soft drinks supplier. The company was looking for a sustainable shrink-wrapped solution for its multi-packed bottled water. They chose X-EnviroShrink to help the company meet its ambitious sustainability targets.
SUSTANE polymer launched
RPC bpi recycled products has launched a first in sustainability: a range of premium, sustainable polymers made from 100% recycled plastic called SUSTANE.
SUSTANE is an innovative, sustainable polymer that has the potential to replace virgin polymer. The recycled material is made from post-consumer packaging and promises the highest levels of technical performance and consistency with no compromise on quality. The driving force for SUSTANE, however, is not just the need for perfect performance, but the desire to lead on environmental stewardship.
Developed and manufactured in the UK, SUSTANE supports the circular economy by offering traceability of the product as well as being 100% recyclable itself. Current products manufactured from virgin polymers can improve their environmental credentials when they are designed – or redesigned – using SUSTANE polymers.
The polymers have been proven to perform in a wide range 16 | WHAT’S NEW?

Gerry McGarry, Managing Director of RPC bpi recycled products, said: “Sustainability is at the heart of our ambition to grow as a successful but ethical company. Innovation drives our plans to continually give our customers great products that have a positive impact on our environment and society.
“We go beyond standard industry practices to provide our customers with solutions to help them meet their sustainable targets and reduce their carbon footprint. This is because products made with SUSTANE can be recycled and used again, and again, saving natural resources and reducing plastic in the environment.”
