CLEAN SITE SYSTEM :AN INNOVATIVE SOLUTION FOR PLASTIC PACKAGING WASTE ON BUILDING SITES
Managing plastic packaging waste on building sites is often difficult. Waste should be correctly sorted, collected and removed in collection bags. There is an innovative solution to solve this problem, a solution which is also economical and environmentally friendly : Clean Site System.
This initiative was launched by VAL-I-PAC several years ago.
HOW DOES THE SYSTEM WORK?
Building contractors can buy Clean Site System collection bags from their building materials wholesaler for € 1,65/each (400 litre bags). Each bag can contain approximately 15 kilos of plastic packaging waste. They can fill the bags with the plastic packaging waste on their building sites (film, covers, bags etc.). Afterwards the filled bags can be dropped at one of the participating wholesalers, free of charge.
EVERYONE’S A WINNER!
What are the advantages of the system ?
A cleaner and more professional building site gives a good impression to clients and architects. It is also a way to combine work with safety as plastic waste on building sites is often cause of accidents. A clean, well-organised site improves safety. And increased safety means improved quality and efficiency.
As we know, plastic waste is bulky and hard to condense. It takes up unnecessary space in mixed containers. By collecting his plastic packaging waste, the building contractor no longer wastes time at container terminals and pays lower charges for his containers.
Last but not least, Clean Site System is a way to protect the environment : the collected plastic is recycled and used as a raw material to make other products.
To sum up, for a very attractive price Clean Site System offers a practical solution for plastic packaging waste on construction sites, making the building site cleaner and safer. At the same time, cutting costs, saving time and protecting the environment.
The facts
Last year, 1.800 ton plastic waste was recycled and more than 143.000 Clean Site bags were sold. Since the launch of this project in 2005, almost 250 wholesalers are now participating in the system and 11.200 ton of plastic packaging waste entered into recycling.
Do not leave plastic packaging waste on building sites.
