HEALTHCARE ESTATES Combating food waste
Green Eco Technologies is ‘focused on combating food waste around the globe by reducing the damaging emissions from organic waste’. The company developed its patented
WasteMaster technology to reduce food waste by up to 80% in volume, ‘with the ease of pressing a single button’. It said: “The process retains almost all its original calorific and nutritional values for a variety of uses in different industries. The WasteMaster provides organisations with a simple, sustainable solution to significantly reduce their carbon footprint while saving on waste disposal costs.” Said to support the Government’s
statutory guidance for food waste, the WasteMaster converts waste into a resource, diverting it from both landfill and drains, and preventing the harmful build-up of grease and fat in sewers. WasteMaster does not require high

heat, water, or bacteria, but uses activated oxygen to break down the cellular walls of the organic waste, releasing the moisture and accelerating the natural decomposition. 4G connectivity provides remote diagnostics and monitoring, and the WasteMaster also accurately measures every bin loaded, supplying organisations with live data. The system is currently being used by a number of NHS Trusts.
‘Revolutionary wireless lighting’
Thorlux – which offers a wide range of lighting solutions for the healthcare sector – will demonstrate SmartScan, its ‘revolutionary’ wireless lighting management system.
It explained: “SmartScan’s powerful features significantly save energy, and make managing and maintaining lighting simple. Users can easily access operational status information and energy performance data, and the system can monitor occupancy and environmental conditions, such as temperature, humidity, and CO2 “Compared with

conventional technology, combining Thorlux LED luminaires with the SmartScan system can achieve up to 70% energy
savings. Sensors monitor ambient light and presence, control output to the correct level, dim and switch when there is sufficient daylight, and illuminate only when the area is occupied. Additionally, Thorlux Colour Active luminaires can help to replicate the natural daylight cycle, helping sustain a person’s circadian rhythm.”
Since its foundation in 1936, Thorlux Lighting says it has ‘built a reputation for constant innovation’ in industrial and commercial lighting. Its luminaires and lighting systems are designed and manufactured at its UK facility in Redditch, Worcestershire. The company added: “We have been proudly carbon neutral since 2012.”
Static Systems Group’s experts will be available on stand D32 to demonstrate the company’s Ultima advanced nurse call system, which SSG says ‘offers features, functionality, and integration, far beyond enabling a patient to attract staff attention’.
SSG said: “Investing in solutions which are flexible, scalable, and future- proof – and which can evolve with the ever-changing needs of the hospital environment – is key. Our Ultima advanced nurse call does all this – and
Flexible, ‘future-proof’, nurse call much more.”
An ‘end-to-end IP solution’, Ultima uses industry-standard IP/LAN infrastructure, and can be easily and cost-effectively integrated as part of an upgrade to a facility’s existing infrastructure – or designed into new-build projects. As devices sit directly on the IP network, Trusts ‘benefit from enhanced flexibility, scalability, and integration capability, without unnecessary infrastructure and

McAvoy has announced ‘a multi-million pound investment’ to expand its modular fleet with a new ‘SmartSpace’ product range. The investment will more than double the capacity of the company’s semi-permanent modular fleet, and create approximately 50 new jobs. CEO, Ron Clarke, said the decision had been made in response to strong market demand, particularly within the healthcare, education, and commercial sectors in the UK. He said: “The investment will fund ongoing research and development, manufacturing, and the implementation of additional infrastructure – in terms of people, factory equipment, and technology. Our market research, coupled with enquiry levels, have indicated for some time the demand for high-quality, semi-permanent accommodation across the healthcare, education, and commercial sectors, but also within the pharma, manufacturing, and technology fields, so this spend is all about meeting our customers’ needs. “Designed and built to enhanced
energy and fire protection standards, this new product provides our customers with sustainable and adaptable space solutions. Thanks to the support of our investor, Blantyre Capital, SmartSpace will be one of the newest modular fleets in the UK and Ireland.”
the associated costs’. When system maintenance or modification is required, disruption is ‘negligible’. In line with the NHS Digital Strategy, Ultima is fully interoperable, and – SSG says – can be integrated with any IP capable device or
platform, allowing clinicians to benefit from improved communication and collaboration across the clinical space, as well as enhanced workflow efficiency.
