Bug-busting bins

It will also be promoting the results from a recent pilot trial at the Heart of England NHS Foundation Trust, where its bins showed an 83% reduction in surface bacteria compared to untreated products. The reduction was due to the use of BioCote antimicrobial protection.

BioCote will explain how the incorporation of silver ion technology into the bins’ powder coating provides constant built-in protection against bacteria, mould and fungi.

With collection of commercial waste, and in particular clinical waste, increasing the risk of crosscontamination on waste bins, all Environmental Hygiene’s bins are footpedal operated. Ranging from 20 to 90 litres in size, they are available in free-standing, solid body, removable body and front-opening designs, with the latter three designs fire-retardant.

A silent closing device is optionally available.
