The scheme covers all types of PPE, including hard hats, boots and gloves, as well as waterproofs, fleeces
and workwear. It will be recycled into car roof insulation, panel linings and compressed mattress fillings.
Recycling something as fundamental as PPE is also a great way to cut carbon emissions. Recycling
stations are located at our depots and offices throughout the UK, making it straightforward for our
people to recycle their redundant PPE and workwear.

Case Study 6
Our transport-sector agreement with OCL Regeneration Ltd works to supply our clients
with localised highways recycling opportunities while delivering a circular economy solution
nationwide. With OCL, we have jointly recycled over 30,000 tonnes of highways waste into low
carbon materials reused back into the network, saving more than 600 tonnes of CO2 over the
past two years.
Milestone Infrastructure has signed a collaboration framework agreement to supply its current
and future clients with OCL’s industry-leading highways recycling and circular economy
solution nationwide.
OCL’s approach and network of facilities brings together Milestone’s asset management and
design expertise to enable 100% of the waste produced through highways maintenance to be
recycled into new aggregates, surfacing materials and low carbon
concretes.
Working with OCL in this way means Milestone will
process, treat and re-lay highway waste within
close radius of where the material originates.
This helps Milestone to support its clients to
reduce their costs and carbon associated
with the transport and disposal of
waste, cut the reliance on virgin
products and ultimately bring
them closer to achieving their
sustainability and carbon
reduction goals.
