- Cliniwaste embraces specialist and sustainable recycling processes, using steam and pressure to sterilise clinical plastic waste that would previously have been incinerated or placed in landfill
- Cliniwaste will complement Mitie’s existing support for the NHS, 帮助实现可持续发展目标
Mitie收购了clininiwaste, which specialises in treating plastic waste generated by the NHS and pharmaceutical manufacturers, 把它变成可重用的资源. This acquisition is part of Mitie’s strategy of providing sustainable waste management solutions to its clients, particularly in the healthcare and pharmaceutical sectors.
Established in 2019 to support the NHS in solving a healthcare waste backlog, Cliniwaste specialises in the management and sustainable disposal of medical waste materials, 比如医院的长袍, 手套, 口罩, 以及其他一次性塑料. The waste processed by Cliniwaste is recycled into clinical waste bags and containers used in healthcare environments. 加上clininiwaste, Mitie will support the NHS with its sustainability ambitions, targeting a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions of 80% by 2050.
Cliniwaste operates out of two UK sites in Nottingham and Bradford, reducing the carbon footprint of the recycling process by minimising transportation costs. Cliniwaste同事, 包括总经理彼得·怀特维克, 会加入米蒂的废物处理业务吗.
作为NHS的亲密合作伙伴, providing waste management solutions across multiple trusts and delivering a range of facilities management services, Mitie, 通过收购clininiwaste, will be able to offer enhanced clinical waste management services to its NHS clients. 除了, the new partnership also opens up the potential to extend this 创新 beyond healthcare, to other sectors that currently send plastic waste to landfill, 比如大学, 养老院和供水设施.
Michael Taylor, Managing Director, Mitie 浪费 and 环境al, said:
“At Mitie our philosophy is ‘resource, not waste’. Cliniwaste will expand Mitie’s ability to provide sustainable waste management solutions that embrace the circular economy, while also opening opportunities to bring this innovative waste management treatment to new industries.
