The population in the UK is aging. People are living longer, baby boomers are retiring and the fastest growing age group is over 80. In just 20 years, the Office of National Statistics forecast that the over 65 age group will increase by 50% to over 15 million.
This means that the residential and nursing care sector is growing and with it the need to treat the wastes from these establishments in a more sustainable way.

Healthcare & Hygiene Services

Healthcare and hygiene service companies can now offer their customers a recycling solution for absorbent hygiene products - AHPs. Knowaste is the UK’s only specialist recycling facility for AHPs which include adult incontinence pants and pads, disposable nappies/diapers, bed liners, wipes and feminine hygiene products. These wastes are generated in high numbers in elderly care homes and units, child nurseries and maternity units, disability and mental health units as well as ‘away from home’ use in retail, leisure and work. Only Knowaste treats these wastes to reclaim plastics and fibres for reuse in new products.
