WASTE MANAGEMENT SPECIALIST SUPPORT
We shine a spotlight on how B-Sure Recycling has expanded and adapted its waste management services for the care sector.
B-Sure Recycling, a specialist waste management company in the UK, has recently expanded to provide a complete end-to-end waste recycling service for care facilities. With recent investments of £40k, B-Sure has streamlined its operations across new premises, with specialist equipment and an increased workforce to service its current commercial facility sectors, and specifically to support the residential care home sector.
A large percentage of the waste from care amenities is classed as hazardous and clinical waste, and requires specific licences from waste management suppliers. However, more specialist support is oſten needed in care facilities.
“How we manage waste in terms of the universal ambitions of ‘Reduce, Reuse and Recycle’, is a huge environmental and business concern for the healthcare sector. Reaching mounting recycling targets through circular economy solutions are significant challenges for the care industry,” explains Ross Chambers, Managing Director. “As we have grown, we have adapted our specialist services to the specific needs of sectors, and for the care industry, a bespoke and considered approach is often required to avoid the risk of infection, boost cost efficiencies and ensure the welfare of staff and residents.”
COMPLETE SPECIALIST WASTE RECYCLING
All types of waste items, not just clinical waste, such as paper towels, furniture and electrical equipment can be recycled at the new B-Sure Recycling site where the company has installed two compactors, a high-tech granulator and more recently a new automatic waste baler.
Customers are provided with bins and cages to collect waste at their sites. When these are full customers can either book a collection with the B-Sure team or arrange for a regular weekly, bi-weekly or month collection.
Once collected then the waste is transported back to B-Sure facilities to be separated and recycled, then delivered to B-Sure partners to reuse in manufacturing processes. For example, all hazardous waste is sent to nearby Energy from Waste plants where it is sustainably turned into energy. Waste heat recovery
utilises the fumes and steam created from the burning of waste is repurposed to provide the power the heating and hot water households in the UK.
Metal waste is collated, wood-based waste is broken down and plastic waste is granulated and bagged. The recycled materials are then provided to partners who create it into new products such as mats, play areas, PVC windows, toys and many more new products. Some items, such as office furniture, if in good condition, are sent to be refurbished or resized so that they can be reused, placing them back into the circular economy.
DEDICATED WASTE MANAGER FOR CARE FACILITIES
For care homes, B-Sure Recycling also provides a dedicated waste manager that guides care home staff and installs the best processes for waste separation and management. This can include providing an onsite baler, with training and maintenance, to enable customers to fulfil part of the separation and recycling process on their premises – for which they can then receive financial rebates.
“Every facility is different and faces it own challenges,” adds Ross Chambers. “With complete specialist services, B-Sure can help move all types of waste from residential care sites. Following recent new food waste regulations for businesses, this can also be included in the B-Sure services.
“But we start by understanding specific waste needs and recycling requirements and then help establish the best processes and set up to achieve the maximum amount of recycling.”
The B-Sure team takes care of the whole process, from waste separation to recycling into new materials and products, enabling customers to focus on their own business whilst ensuring that their waste management targets are met and their operations are sustainable.
