Below is a selection of case studies presenting some of the assistance that Remade has provided to the NHS
South East Cost Ambulance Service:
SECamb commissioned Remade South East to undertake a waste management audit to understand the environmental risks, legislative requirements and levels of legislative compliance within the organisation. The main aim of the audit was to identify approaches to reduce waste disposal costs by increasing waste segregation, recycling rates, staff training and waste policy compliance.

Bromley PCT:
Bromley PCT invited Remade South East to create a tailor-made package of initiatives to kick-start the organisation's approach to sustainable purchasing and waste management.
The aim of the project was to help the PCT contribute to the Government's requirements for sustainable procurement, set out in its strategy document Procuring the Future; and contribute to the waste management aims set out in The Draft 'Carbon Reduction Strategy for the NHS in England (2008)1'. Both documents set the agenda for the public sector to meet a minimum standard of activity on sustainable purchasing and waste management.

Frimley Park Hospital:
In 2007 Frimley Park Hospital entered a Surrey County Council 'Green Makeover' competition to raise the profile of the recycling programme at the hospital. The support given to the Trust through the competition led to the creation of this project to assist the further improvement of existing recycling facilities and to minimise waste being generated on site.
Surrey County Councils main aim of the project was to work with the Trust to create a model of best practice in waste management that other Hospital Trusts in Surrey could emulate.
The Council set two main objectives to be achieved through the project:
To carry out a waste audit of the hospital in order to identify key waste streams
To create a business case for improving on site recycling facilities and facilitate the provision of an effective hospital wide recycling system. To complete these objectives the Council engaged Remade South East to carry out the management of the project.
