Barts Health NHS Trust has chosen Skanska to deliver a waste management programme designed to save money and improve compliance across its estate.
Delivered by Skanska’s FM team, it is centred on a behavioural change programme covering clinical and domestic waste services at three hospital sites – Whipps Cross, Mile End, and Newham. The programme will reduce the Trust’s carbon footprint, diverting 100 per cent of non-clinical waste away from landfill.
The contract win follows Skanska’s exemplar waste management programme at three other Barts Health NHS Trust sites: St Bartholomew’s, The London Chest Hospital, and The Royal London. The team works with hospital staff, auditing the waste streams, and providing regular training on waste disposal. By ensuring hospital staff put the right waste in the right bins, the hospitals are sending no non-clinical waste to landfill, and have cut the cost of ‘offensive’ waste disposal by £300,000 in the first year.
