About this item
A Zero Waste Box™ is a complete and convenient solution which includes the storage, shipping and recycling of a particular type of waste that isn’t currently recycled through local councils or traditional recycling facilities.
- Reduce the amount of waste that you send to landfill or incinerate
- Recycle the non recyclable and reduce your carbon footprint
- Improving your organisation's sustainability can boost your corporate image and improve employee engagement and satisfaction
Use this Zero Waste Box to recycle: Disposable protective face masks such as dust masks, FFP2 (or so-called 'N95'), FFP3 and surgical masks (as long as they don't come from a medical environment); face shields and visors; disposable vinyl, nitrile, and latex gloves.
How it works:
• Order - select a Zero Waste Box™ based on what and how much you would like to recycle
• Collect - fill your box with the accepted waste and seal the box with adhesive tape
• Ship - using the pre-paid UPS shipping label affixed to the back of your box, send your filled box to TerraCycle® for recycling. UPS requires a minimum of 24 hours’ notice and does pick-ups Monday to Friday between 9 am and 5 pm. Pick-ups can be arranged online at ups.com/gb or by telephone on 03457 877 877. All shipments are carbon-neutral, meaning that carbon emissions released during transport will be offset
• Reorder - continue to recycle and reorder a new Zero Waste Box™. Your collected waste will find a second life as recycled materials, reducing the need to extract virgin materials and depleting resources
• Do not send in: Medical waste (this includes material contaminated with blood, bodily fluids, and waste which should be collected in a hazardous clinical waste bin); autoclaved material; gloves that are contaminated with materials considered hazardous or dangerous; fabric, homemade or paper masks or other types of protective garments; hairnets, earplugs, and lab coats or garments; hazardous waste (sharp, flammable, reactive, corrosive, ignitable, toxic, infectious, or pathogenic) or material contaminated with blood which presents a danger to the environment or people
Everything collected through the Zero Waste Box™ system is sorted and processed into raw materials that can be reused instead of being sent to landfill.
Cardboard boxes are made from 84% recycled material. Box container and liner are 100% recyclable.
Do not send in medical waste. This includes material contaminated with blood, bodily fluids and waste which should be collected in a hazardous clinical waste bin.
