Healthy start for recycling unit
Published: 04 November, 2014
LEAFIELD ENVIRONMENTAL reports it has designed and custom-built a new, pedal operated recycling bin with an optional anti-microbial additive which complies with the strict cleanliness and infection control regulations of the health industry.
The anti-microbial material is added during production and is said to provide an effective barrier against the growth of bacteria, moulds and fungi to minimise the spread of infection. The company says the sleek design allows for integral labelling and has no hidden holes or crevices where dirt and germs can collect. The central lid is operated by a foot pedal which means users never need to touch the bin with their hands when depositing waste: wheels make it easy to transfer to central collection points for emptying.

LEAFIELD ENVIRONMENTAL has designed and custom-built a new, pedal operated recycling bin with an optional anti-microbial additive which complies with the strict cleanliness and infection control regulations of the health industry.
“Given a stimulus to ‘stop and think’, most people would prefer to recycle rather than commit waste to landfill.” Based on this concept, LEAFIELD ENVIRONMENTAL, in partnership with the University of Greenwich, reports it has produced the Meridian Envirobin designed to encourage users to segregate recyclables from non-recyclable waste at source.
HYDRO INTERNATIONAL reports it has launched a specialist service to help industrial and commercial sites avoid the devastating environmental and financial consequences of inadequate pollution spill containment.
