Helapet are pleased to announce a major development in the range of Sterile Sharps Bins. The new "Eco" range of sharps containers are made from at least 40% recycled plastic, assisting the NHS drive to reach Net Zero by 2040.

The new Eco range will conform to HTM07-01 management and disposal of healthcare waste guidelines. This means they are still a standard yellow container with yellow or purple lids for cytotoxic /cytostatic waste. Due to the recycled material, the yellow will be a darker tone in contrast to the current model.

The new eco range of Sterile Sharps Bins contain a minimum of 40% high grade recycled material to help minimise the impact on our environment and the carbon footprint during its manufacture. This also means there is less dependence on crude oils used in the manufacture of virgin plastic.

The new Eco Sharps Bin range is fully compliant with UN 3291 and ISO 23907-1:2019 standards. Having a mainly yellow base with the appropriate coloured lid it is also in line with HTM 07-01 waste segregation guidance. They are also compatible with the same accessories, trolleys, and brackets as the current ones.

The new ECO range of Sterile Sharps Bins will be phased in from June 2022. Current customers will not need to change anything to begin receiving the new bins. Just place your order the usual way using the same product codes.

Reducing the amount of single use plastic is a challenge in our industry but it's one that Helapet embraces. One of our key goals is to incorporate sustainability where possible across all areas of our business operations from facility management to work practices, delivering sustainable solutions that benefit the environment.

For additional information and latest prices on any of our listed products, please email sales@helapet.co.uk or call 01582 501980

During the run up to Christmas, what should be the most joyous time of year can be one of the hardest. So, while most companies purchase greeting cards to wish their customers great joy, we sent our customers personal and digital wishes of joy for the Christmas season and offered the money that would have been used on printed greeting cards to a charity that is close to our team's hearts.

In the recent Christmas of 2021, we donated to the Cynthia Spencer Hospice in Northampton.

We were delighted to hear that our donation could pay all the below:

• 8 visits to a patient from a 'hospice at home' nurse
• A memory box to remember a loved one receiving palliative care
• Transport for a patient get to their appointments

It is important to Helapet that we give back to the community Helapet and its staff belong in. 2021 saw Cynthia Spencer Hospice play an important role in one of our colleague's lives and we wanted to be able to give our thanks for the Hospice's amazing work.

"We really appreciate the support of local businesses throughout the year however, for Helapet to think of us during the festive season was really kind of the team. December marked the end of our 45th year celebrations which have been heavily impacted by the pandemic. The continued support of businesses has been vital ensuring we can continue to care for our patients and support their families too and for this we are certainly thankful. We are always looking to work with new businesses who would like to support the work of the Hospice through volunteering, fundraising, taking part in events and making donations, if anyone would like to hear more about our work, please get in touch".
Nina Gandy, Corporate Partnerships Fundraiser, Cynthia Spencer Hospice

Cynthia Spencer Hospice provides specialist palliative care services for South Northamptonshire. They accept donations via their website https://www.cynthiaspencer.org.uk/donate.

Helapet, leading UK cleanroom consumables company and filter manufacturer, are delighted to present local school, Houghton Regis Academy, with a Euromex Metallurgical Type Microscope, a significantly more advanced scope to be used alongside their own equipment in the Science Lab.

Helapet were conducting one of their regular tours of their manufacturing facility to spot any ways they can improve efficiencies as part of their 5S policy. The microscope was spotted as an unused item that had been languishing in the corner. Its purpose had been to inspect the filtration media used in their filter manufacturing for quality control. It stopped being used when more advanced inspection techniques were adopted. In order to make way for more efficient processes, it was decided to remove the unit and find another owner in a drive to be more environmentally aware.

Helapet has a strong ethos of giving back to their local community so went in search of a worthy school to donate this and were pleased to discover local middle school Houghton Regis Academy, would accept and make use of the microscope. It will be used by students aged 9 to 13 years.

Helapet has recently been awarded the Investors in People - Gold.

Paul Devoy, CEO of Investors in People, said: "We'd like to congratulate Helapet. Gold accreditation on 'We invest in people' is a fantastic effort for any organisation, and places Helapet in fine company with a host of organisations that understand the value of people."

Here at Helapet our company vision, mission and values inform everything we do on a daily basis, including the importance of being "helpful and to provide assistance to customers and colleagues".

Demonstrating our commitment to supporting customer health and protection, we recently responded to a request from a gentleman on his way to Khristiya Seva Niketan Hospital, a small mission hospital in West Bengal, India. The purpose of his visit was to introduce microbiology testing to KSN Hospital's small pathology laboratory, which required some personal protective clothing for his colleagues. We were delighted to assist him and delivered chemical protective  Tyvek Lab Coats which were used to protect personnel against accidental spillages of potentially infected material in the microbiology lab. This includes patient samples that might be infected or cultures of pathogenic bacteria that the laboratory staff have cultured.

Having taken receipt of our lab coats, we were delighted to receive a personal thankyou note:

We love hearing from our customers on how our products and services can make a difference. If you have a story you would like to share, please email us at info@helapet.co.uk.

Helapet are delighted to introduce our new SteriClean^® Neutral Detergent Spray. A sterile, PH neutral, non-ionic detergent with low residues, designed to work alongside our exclusive SteriClean® range of sterile alcohol disinfectants in critically controlled environments.

For a disinfectant to work effectively, it is beneficial to use a detergent spray beforehand. This will remove residues and soiling. For many, using a neutral detergent spray to clean surfaces prior to disinfection is an important step. This month, Helapet have unveiled a new sterile Neutral Detergent Spray which complements their exclusive SteriClean^® range of sterile cleaning and disinfectant consumables.

A ready mixed pH neutral solution blended with WFI (water for injection), this excellent general purpose cleaning agent is highly effective at removing soiling without the risk of damaging acid or alkaline sensitive surfaces. Non-ionic with an excellent toxicology profile makes this product ideal for use on oily residue and sticky substances, without the need for additional garment protection.

SteriClean^® Neutral Detergent spray is 0.2 micron filtered and cleanroom processed.  Each 0.9L bottle is individually double-bagged and terminally irradiated for smooth cleanroom transfer and immediate use.

Compatible for use in high grade cleanroom areas, including isolators and work benches. Helapet sterile trigger sprays incorporate a validated closed bag-in-bottle system and non-vented trigger to restrict the ingress of bacteria to maintain sterility of the bottle contents. The lightweight and ergonomic bottle design includes a fully adjustable trigger nozzle allowing for the solution to be dispensed either as a jet or mist.

Ben Miles (Managing Director) comments on this achievement: "Being awarded IIP Silver accreditation is a great achievement for us and a testament to the level of dedication and focus we place on our workforce. By adhering to our core values we have demonstrated what can be achieved by working together to create positive change"

For over 14 years, Helapet has held Investors in People accreditation. The jump to Silver status has been achieved through the ongoing implementation of several new company initiatives:

• Launch of new Vision, Mission and Values statement
• Implementation of Lean Principles and 5S methodologies
• Empowering staff and improving employee engagement
• Focus on improving quality and value to our customers

Final comments from the IIP report acknowledges and praises the company's recent transformation: "The Company (Helapet) has made significant progress in the three years since its last Investors in People Review in all parts of the Standard. In particular, advances have been made in the areas of empowerment, management effectiveness, objective setting and employee engagement. A new Managing Director was appointed just over two years ago and he has brought a clarity and a vitality to the people processes and practices that support organisational success. That such positive outcomes have been achieved in a relatively short time is testament not only to his energy and vision, but also to the efforts of every employee who has responded so positively to the opportunities for improvement this has presented".
