A NORTH Wales hospital is planning to transform a disused site into a waste recycling compound. North East Wales NHS Trust is considering setting up the facility at Wrexham Maelor Hospital to help cut down on its environmental impact. The hospital is now waiting for the all-clear from trust finance bosses to help improve its green performance. “The cost of waste and the desire to reduce our impact on the environment prompted us to get in touch with Envirowise,” said Bob Jarvis, estates manager. “We contacted Envirowise who sent a consultant down to the site. He assessed all our processes and made some really helpful suggestions, many of which were simple to implement and made an immediate effect, such as segregation of waste and recycling inkjet cartridges.” Since then the hospital, which employs 3,500 people, has been driving home the savings. Four months ago it appointed a dedicated environment and energy manager, Natalie Campbell, to reduce the hospital’s gas, electric and water bills. |
