Single Use Plastic PPE Terracycle Recycling Scheme

LoadingAdd to my saved searches

The Mace team at GPE’s Hanover Square project introduced a PPE recycling service in partnership with Terracycle, to reduce single use plastics waste ending up in landfill.

The boxes on site can recycle a range of products including earplugs, beard nets, hair nets, disposable gloves, safety glasses, disposable garments, shoe covers and masks.

The items are safely collected on site and collected by Terracycle who recycle the plastic into alternative products, rather than it being incinerated for energy or sent to landfill, which tends to be the standard route for low grade products.
