Our material planning and ongoing risk analysis provide us with valuable intelligence in our decision making and selection processes as we move towards a more efficient and recycled future. Our new investment in technology has enabled us to reach our ambitious climate change levy commitments 3 years early. Meaning that today, we use 20% less energy to process each tonne of plastic. And we continue to push for more:
Sharpak — where safety always comes first.
We have reduced the energy taken to produce the Sharpak range by 43% in the year to November 2022
Further projects are planned in our production areas to improve the efficiencies in production to save a further 70+%
We have started the process to register for ISO 14001
Continually run ongoing trials with recycled materials as the industry standard improve to ensure we use recycled materials wherever we can
Regularly working with clinicians to educate our users to only place clinical waste in the bins - with the target of reducing bin usage by 20% by 2025
Within Inpress Plastics initiating research into renewable materials and identifying potential uses
Successfully trialled products to reduce polymer content of Sharps bins by 25%
