Laboratories produce a lot of non-hazardous waste, from pipette tip boxes and plastic packaging to masks and gloves. Without the right systems, much of this ends up in landfill or incineration, increasing carbon emissions and wasting resources.
The appCYCLE range from Appleton Woods provides an easy, all-in-one recycling service designed to keep lab waste in the circular economy. In partnership with MyGroup, your waste is collected, shredded, washed, and transformed into valuable materials such as MYboard™ and remanufactured textiles.
Two Sizes to Fit Your Lab’s Needs
100 Litre Box
Perfect for day-to-day lab waste, this box sits conveniently inside your laboratory, ready to take non-hazardous items such as lab plastics and PPE
1000 Litre Hopper Style appCYCLE
Designed for high-volume recycling, the 1000 Litre hopper sits outside your building. Smaller 100 Litre boxes can be decanted into this unit, making it easy to manage larger waste streams efficiently.
The All-in-One Service
The appCYCLE service includes:
• Your recycling container in the chosen size
• A liner for easy waste handling
• Free UK-wide collection when full
• Shredding, washing, and processing at MyGroup’s UK facilities
• Recycling into high-quality materials ready for reuse
• A tree planted for every unit purchased
This means you are actively preventing waste from going to landfill or incineration, reducing your lab’s carbon footprint, and helping restore natural habitats.
