Healthy collections - Plastic Boxes


Healthcare Environmental Services Group is the largest privately-owned medical waste provider within the UK. It operates its own treatment and disposal facilities from its regionalised depots throughout the country and has one of the largest collection fleets dedicated to the safe collection of waste. 


The company was formed in the early ’90s and has always put the emphasis on waste management, not disposal. It currently services a wide range of industries through its specialised vehicle network, with its services being available 24 hours a day, 365 days per year. The staff and their dedication to detail are paramount to the company’s success. Healthcare is a recognised Investor in People Company and quality assured ISO 9001 & 14001 with dedicated and trained staff at all of its locations.

Healthcare collects and processes all types of waste including clinical, pharmaceutical and radioactive wastes from within the healthcare industry along with various types of hazardous wastes, including lab chemicals; solvents are dealt with on a regular basis.


The company is contracted to supply a collection service to a wide variety of private and health authorities throughout the UK. This involves collecting waste from approximately 20,000 locations from in excess of 1,000 customers.
Recent developments have meant that the company has had to add some core waste solution products due to customer demand, including the supply of fluorescent light tube boxes, disposal and recycling of batteries, WEEE recycling and finally the 55-litre ‘Haz’ box. This box is designed for limited quantities of certain types of hazardous waste. This division of the business is set to expand during 2010, offering small producers of hazardous waste an easy, inexpensive option of providing a safe collection of hazardous wastes that cannot be thrown away into your general waste bin. Primarily, it works a lot like the recyclable box you have at home but allows you to put many types of hazardous materials into the box ready for uplift.


Having studied boxes available on the marketplace, Healthcare approached Casting Support Systems (CSS) Ltd of Paignton, Devon to evaluate the 55-litre and 70-litre Tote boxes available from its range. It was quickly established that the boxes were of very substantial, robust construction and ideally suited to the arduous conditions in which they are required to perform. Made from ‘super-tough’ polypropylene, the boxes can be fitted with RFID chips or bar codes for full traceability. Furthermore, they can be supplied in the customer livery with logos printed on the sides and can be sealed using appropriate seals available from CSS Ltd. Other boxes or bins from CSS Ltd include kerbside, storage/sorting and delivery box, available in 55-litre size.



George Putland of CSS Ltd, is particularly keen to discuss the requirements of waste and recycling companies to offer bespoke solutions to waste handling. I am always available to discuss problem areas and can be reached on 01757 708824 or gp.cssltd@dsl.pipex.com  


Going forward, CSS will develop a range of boxes aimed at waste management and recycling.” Healthcare will recycle and reuse as much of the wastes where possible, and each box is security chipped, and full track and trace is available through Healthcare’s leading tracking facilities function.
 

This year also marks the start of a new era with the launch of Healthcare Sharps, the UK’s first reusable sharps container, which is fully UN & BS certified and offers so many benefits, including huge reduction in needle stick injuries and full traceability with wireless RFID tracking.

Plastic Totes, Attached lid Container and Plastic Boxes

I'm sure you seen these in many high street retailers, some use them for higher value products and some for fragile items to distribute to the shops!



There are two main types, the above being an attached lid container and below an open tote. The attached lid version being just that, it has a two part lid attached at the sides which encloses the box and has a location for using a security seal allowing you to see if anyone has tampered with the contents.

   
The above version of the open tote is a stack nest type. When full they will stack without crushing the contents in the box below. When empty by rotating 180 degrees they will nest in to each other to save space.


The tote above is a puring nesting box and can be stacked when using a lid as seen below. You will notice their are locations in the lid to enable it to be secured by banding or strap if required.


Please contact me if you require any information at gp.cssltd@dsl.pipex.com

Plastic Boxes

We all see plastic boxes similar to the ones below (usually see through and light weight) in the supermarkets, DIY stores and even office supplies outlets and they are a great way of low cost storage....and if you are going to handle them carefully they will last!






However if you want a tote (open box) or an A.L.C. (attached lid container) that will take the abuse contact me! We manufacture in super tough polypropylene, which is ideal for most uses! Higher and lower temperature applications are probably more suited to P.E., but is more brittle than Polypropylene in general applications!





We design, produce our own tools and manufacture here in the UK (in Devon).







If you are interested in storage and distribution totes, or as returnable packaging (think about the environment) and the land fill tax!!!....CONTACT ME!
