Reducing our reliance on single use plastics: Clinell wipe buckets

August 1, 2019

Part of the chief executive’s monthly column in Heartbeat this year is focussed on our plans to change our use of single use plastics.

The next plastics reduction initiative on our ‘bucket’ list requires your help. When ordering the Clinell wipes, please can colleagues only order the refill wipes themselves that are placed inside the bucket container and not the bucket each time. The bucket should have multiple uses. In doing this, we can save money and also significantly reduce the amount of plastic waste we dispose of.

Do you have any other ideas to help us reduce our reliance on single use plastics? Send them to Fran Silcocks, Sustainability Officer francesca.silcocks@nhs.net.
