Introducing our new PPE Recycling Scheme

The construction industry is the largest contributor to waste in the UK, making up over a third of total waste. As a leading supplier to the construction industry and having a passion for driving change in our environment, we have a responsibility to help reduce our impact on the environment and find ways to minimise waste going to landfill.

Bryson has partnered with a leading specialist in the destruction and recycling of all PPE. To provide a circular economy for used PPE where everything is re-used, recycled and responsibly destroyed - and the best part is, NOTHING goes to landfill!

PPE is here to stay, so how can we dispose of it more responsibly?

Our Solution

Bryson have partnered with a leading specialist in the destruction and recycling of all PPE used on construction sites to provide a circular
economy for used PPE where everything is re-used, recycled and responsibly destroyed - and the best part is, NOTHING goes to landfill!
We use the only UK based textile recycling company that mechanically strip and individualise textile fibres, which means all your textile PPE
such as hi vis clothing, workwear, face masks and gloves are recycled responsibly and re-used in textile production or other non-textile
production as top priority.

All plastic, polymer and metal PPE such as helmets, safety specs, safety boots and ear defenders are also recycled and stripped down for re-use in tier 2 production or tier 3 energy creation.

Why choose PPE recycling?

Reduce waste on site and avoid waste going to landfill.
Support an environmentally friendly, responsible initiative.
Promote a circular economy with re-use and re-purposed materials going back into UK manufacturing.
Safe destruction of your company and project logos for peace of mind.
Full audit trail of your recycled PPE for CSR and environmental reporting.
Help build awareness within the industry to make better, more sustainable choices on waste management.

Three Tiers of PPE Recycling

The average PPE recycling breakdown: 20% goes into Tier 1, 60% goes into Tier 2, and 20% into Tier 3. This means that 80% of PPE is recycled and formed into other products!

How it works?

1) We collect all your PPE direct from site from dedicated PPE Recycling bins.

2) Collections can be scheduled on a frequency of your choosing. For example, once a month or every 2 weeks. All PPE collections are done by an approved waste collection provider.

3) Your PPE goes to a secure recycling and shredding facility where any metal, polymers, wood or plastics are recycled out into Tier 2 & 3 use. All remaining PPE textiles are shredded and recycled into Tier 1 use back into UK textile manufacturing.

4) Everything recycled is unrecognisable for brand protection.

5) All your PPE recycling is tracked from collection to destruction, so you have a full audit trail. You will also receive a Certificate of Destruction and reports detailing recycling weights and figures for each collection, and how much CO2 has been saved through recycling.

How to start recycling your PPE?

We'll arrange for the delivery of PPE Recycling bins to your site. All costings are based on a per bin collection basis. Our sales team will provide you with a quote based on the bin size chosen. We have four bin size options available (80L, 240L, 660L and 1100L) but recommend the 240L size.

We will deliver two bins to the site: one bin for hard PPE and one bin for soft PPE. Place your PPE items in black bin bags and place them in the bins provided. Your PPE will be collected from anywhere in the UK.

Collections can be scheduled on a frequency of your choosing. For example, once a month or every 2 weeks. Alternatively, you can call us to let us know when your bin is full and we’ll arrange a collection.
