Equipment leasing scheme for recyclers WRAP’s eQuip leasing scheme can help collection businesses, recyclers/reprocessors and manufacturers, who are producing a new product incorporating a recycled material, acquire new equipment. eQuip guarantees the future residual value of the machinery, reducing regular payments, and allows payments to be spread over a fixed term related to the life of the equipment. Materials eligible for the scheme are Aggregates, Plasterboard, Wood, Glass, Organics, Plastic and Paper. The application process is straightforward and WRAP has set up a panel of banks and leasing companies who will consider leasing to the recycling sector. An eQuip application form can be downloaded from www.wrap.org.uk/equip Recofloor: vinyl flooring recycling take-back scheme The Recofloor scheme was developed from a WRAP-funded trial to increase the recycling of vinyl flooring by creating a sustainable, cost-effective and efficient collection system. Now as a free-standing industry scheme, the target is to increase the recycling of waste vinyl flooring in the UK. Offcuts from the installation process will be recycled back into new flooring. Uplifted, or end-of-life material, will be used in the manufacture of traffic calming products, such as traffic cone and road barrier bases. Recofloor is keen to increase the number of drop-off sites across the UK and to recruit distributors. For more information contact Recofloor on 0161 3557618 or recofloor@axionconsulting.co.uk
