Total
Waste Management
Polkacrest is a leading supplier of
professional, sustainable, clinical waste management solutions.
We work in partnership with our customers to provide a bespoke collection,
treatment and disposal service of all types of waste produced within
the healthcare sector.
At the heart of our approach is the concept of
Total Waste Management which, we believe,
offers our customers - and the environment and society as a whole
- significant advantages.
The Polkacrest approach provides a single, experienced,
expert contractor to take care of all of our customers' requirements
and concerns, allowing them to concentrate on their core activities,
content in the knowledge that Polkacrest will deal with their waste
in an efficient, cost-effective and environmentally-responsible
fashion.
The Total Waste Management approach means that,
by considering all your requirements strategically, we can ensure
that best practice is adopted and efficiency gains realised in key
areas such as waste segregation, treatment and disposal, staff training
and recycling.
Our professional partnership approach means we
work closely with you to provide maximum support in a wide range
of areas. Polkacrest is committed to investment in technological
improvement and provides one of the safest and most cost-effective
waste treatment processes in the world.
Highly-effective, totally customer-focused project
management plays a critical part in Polkacrest's success. We have
a unique approach to the management of major contracts.
With an NHS Trust, we seek to jointly appoint
a dedicated Waste Advisory Manager whose sole responsibility is
to assist and advise the Trust's management in all aspects of clinical
waste disposal, as well as, of course, ensuring the quality and
delivery of the contract.
Such attention to detail is invaluable for our
customers in many ways and financially, it can be very rewarding.
For example, ensuring that domestic waste does
not get into the clinical waste system saves a lot of money because
clinical waste is more than five times more expensive to handle
than domestic waste.
And, the values that underpin the way we do business,
are totally in tune with the principles of Total Waste Management.
