What processes did WHS use to help this client?

WHS firstly carried out a free-of-charge waste audit to establish the different waste streams and how the company produced them. The current waste disposal arrangements were analysed to find out the volumes collected, the frequency of collections and the waste disposal costs. WHS compiled proposals for stepped solutions to enable the most efficient methods to reduce waste volume and waste disposal costs.

Why did the client choose WHS?

WHS proposals addressed each waste stream separately. Changes were made in stages, as a result, the client experienced the savings before moving on. WHS delivered exactly what they said they would and the client benefitted as planned.

What Equipment did WHS Supply?

• A Shredder for confidential office documents
• A Vertical Mill Size Baler for Cardboard.
• A Vertical Mill size Baler for Plastic Film.
• An In-Bin Compactor for 1100 Wheelie Bins.
• A De-watering Screw Compactor for water filled rejected plastic containers.

How did the client benefit?

• They eliminated the cost of sending documents away for secure destruction, they  can now assure their clients that no personal data leaves their premises.
• All their cardboard is now formed into Mill-Size Bales (~500kg), as a result, this commodity generated an income.
• Similarly, all their Plastic Film is baled and can be sold.
• The only waste remaining is General waste, collected in 1100 litre Wheelie bins and the in-bin compactor reduces the volume. The number of wheelie bins emptied is reduced, and consequently, the waste disposal costs.
• The de-watering screw compactor eliminated a full time manual job by automatically perforating and squeezing water from filled plastic containers, it then compacts the products. The client benefits from freeing up labour and minimising waste volumes.

Was the client Happy with WHS?

Yes, WHS provided economic and environmental beneficial solutions helping our client reduce costs and its carbon footprint.                                                         Please see the quotation below from an editorial in a trade magazine.

” For instance, we started working with Waste Handling Solutions, one of the UK’s leading suppliers in the field of waste handling equipment, approximately one year ago and in that time, they have helped us to implement new recycling equipment and processes. This year alone we have reduced our volume and cost going into general waste by 40 per cent. With bigger balers and a de-watering screw our waste needs less downstream processing and therefore is worth more. Equally important is that we have removed nearly a full-time equivalent role in production from processing waste, which, to be frank , is probably the worst job there was to have in that team! Particularly important as part of our GDPR compliance we can now shred all media holding personal data onsite removing the risk of data breaches downstream.”
