Having witnessed the damaging effects to the environment posed by the coronavirus pandemic, we’ve made it our mission to ensure all of our products aid the UK’s sustainable footprint.
As of November 2021, around 26,000 tonnes of Covid-related plastic waste was polluting the world’s oceans, impacted by the rising contribution of single-use plastic waste from face masks.
As a PPE provider, it is our responsibility to tackle these issues face-on, which is why we provide our Zero Waste Bins to customers to ensure masks can receive an environmentally disposal.
The UCP Smart Factory training and production environment is committed to, and looking forward to a greener more prosperous future. At UCP we have a implemented a PPE face mask recycling facility to help us meet our strategic aims including supporting Net-Zero, and creating a 360 Eco system for recycling plastic. To do this our process is detailed below:
Collaboration between all the memebers of the Eco System
Recycled masks delivered back to UCP
Polypropylene Shredded
The Sheet press presses plastic into recycled sheets
Final product ready to be re-sold on the local market
As part of our mission to provide PPE at the pinnacle of quality to our wider communities, we’ve deliberately avoided the fast-track route of external testing.
All of our face masks are tested and certified in the UK as well as being approved by the MHRA, with all tested specimens showing a BFE filtration level of 99% or higher.
