Zappshelter combats waste weather issues
IT seems the UK is forever experiencing unpredictable weather conditions; a major issue for waste sites up and down the British Isles.
To tackle this, Perth-based Paragon Protection Systems have introduced their Zappshelter range to the UK and European waste recycling sector, designed and engineered to withstand the harshest of environments.
Zappshelter products are designed to increase customer storage space and there are sizes available to suit every requirement and budget.
ZAPPSHELTER
Managing Director Craig Michel said: “We fi rst viewed a similar shelter system in Australia many years ago, and decided to design a product for use in the UK and Europe, which meant extensive structural testing to ensure it was suitable for our climate.
“With the tightening up of waste storage and handling regulations in the industry, our product helps to keep sites in line with the Environment Agency requirements.
“While the Zappshelter concept began with mounting the structure on shipping containers, we also often work with existing material storage bays, or create new ones using our precast concrete bunker wall system.
“Zappshelters are perfect for material processing plants, but we also work extensively with the construction, plant and biomass industries too.”
Zappshelters are available throughout the UK and Europe, with a standard range of 6 metres to 17 metres wide, with lengths in either 6 metres or 12 metres. However, the product design is fl exible and bespoke sizes can be manufactured to suit specifi c site needs.

SCOTTISH Leather Group is the largest producer of leather in the UK. It has the lowest carbon footprint of any leather produced anywhere in the world.
The group is a private company and its shareholders are largely family members who seek to produce some of the highest quality leather with the lowest impact on the environment.
It takes a by-product of the beef and dairy industry – after it has outlived its original use – and transforms it into a versatile and high grade resource rather than waste.
Company Director, James Lang said: “It is an unavoidable fact if people choose to eat meat a hide will be generated. No bovine animal has ever been slaughtered for its hide – a common misconception amongst some groups.
FOR AMP Contracting, based in Stirling, the start of 2018 has been a positive one. The company have seen a rise in the demand for waste recycling equipment with more companies focusing on recycling, which is increasing the demand for material processing equipment.
Scottish Leather Group cuts waste SCOTTISH LEATHER GROUP
“There would be a major environmental issue if that hide was simply sent to landfi ll. SLG sources its hides from carefully selected suppliers where quality and animal welfare are paramount.”
Leather producing is a diffi cult process which usually uses too much water and chemicals, and generates a lot of waste.
SLG recognised this could not continue and has worked to constantly reduce its waste and dependence on natural materials, while reducing waste to landfi ll from 100 tonnes per day to under 10 tonnes.
