NHS Board

DMR is a broad term used to describe different types of clean recycling waste that can be reused, reformed or broken down into their core materials. They include: dry paper waste, office paper, newspaper and magazines, cereal boxes, card and cardboard boxes, clean, empty cans and tins, clean and dry drinking bottles, milk bottles, and others.  

The DMR system utilises existing metal general waste (black lid) bins and infrastructure. The use of existing bins negates the need for purchase of equipment, identification of additional space and will satisfy IPC protocols.

A new implementation plan was developed for the new financial year in order to implement, expand or refine existing systems on all acute sites across NHSGGC.

The new target for recyclates for FY 23 – 24 is 35% (currently 16%).
