Life is certainly sweet for national waste management firm HIPPOWASTE™ with the latest addition to its growing business client base. The company has signed up Europe's number one pick & mix confectionary specialists, Candyking, who are using the flexible HIPPOBAGs™ as the primary waste disposal solution for its confectionary store refits.
Candyking is currently conducting a roll out of its confectionary products and equipment in over 800 Woolworths stores across the UK and required a flexible, one-stop solution for waste removal and disposal that met both its own and its client's quality and environmental standards.
With its strong environmental credentials and flexible waste solutions, HIPPOWASTE™ have been able to provide a bespoke waste management package which
includes utilising the space-saving HIPPOBAGs™ to remove and dispose of used confectionary fixtures in store. Furthermore, the confectionary company is also using HIPPOWASTE's™ own recycling centre in Hampshire to dispose of ongoing waste on a regular basis.
"The HIPPOBAG™ was the ideal solution for Candyking because of the flexible benefits it is able to offer," explains Dave Caulder, operation manager for Candyking UK. "Because the bags come flat-packed we have not needed to rely on a third party to deliver a skip which has saved hours of time and have been able to position the bags anywhere we need to."
Ben Clark, head of performance improvement at HIPPOWASTE™ said: "Waste disposal should never present barriers or become a source of hassle or delay on projects of this nature. We have been able to provide Candyking with an alternative to the skip that enables them to conduct their store refits in the short overnight timescales required and achieve high recycling rates."
The HIPPOBAG™ is increasingly becoming the preferred option for other construction firms and shop fitting companies specialising in store fits-outs and general building services for the retail industry. Easier management of waste removal from sites, no delays or downtime waiting for the arrival of skips, and the ability to work in small, confined spaces are just some of the benefits the HIPPOBAG™ is able to offer to this sector.
