More often than not, absorbent granule products can have many undesirable qualities, namely an off-putting odour and all too messy dust particles that arise from using such a product. So at Yellow Shield, we have been looking to introduce a superior granule that can be utilised mainly indoors for absorbing spills of oil, fuel, cutting fluids and mild chemicals that dispels these problems and we believe we have found it.

New Spilkleen Super Plus is a lightweight granule made from 100% recycled paper, (so already proving an environmentally friendly alternative to other absorbent granule products), that is more importantly odourless and virtually dust free. No longer will you have to endure the choking dust clouds and malodourous trace that emanates from inferior absorbent granules at arms length, you can deploy the Spilkleen Super Plus, safe in the knowledge that these unwanted by-products will not be an issue.

But how much can a paper based granule absorb? Well, up to three times the amount that a clay based granule can and with none of the unsought problems associated with other types of granules. In fact, a 30 litre bag of Spilkleen Super Plus can absorb an incredible 24 Litres of liquid, representing a 250% higher absorbency rate than clay based granules. This is why we feel that Spilkleen Super Plus is the complete indoor absorbent, offering a highly effective product at an extremely competitive price.

All wheelie bins sold within the UK of volumes 60 Litres or higher tend to be at least 850mm in height. Although this is not a detrimental feature of these standard wheelie bins what it does not permit is for the user to be able to store their waste to their own convenience. If there was a wheelie bin that was compact enough to conceal underneath workbenches or a desk then a myriad of storage choices would become available.

 

Well now there is such an option. The new 75 Litre Wheelie Bins from Yellow Shield is sufficiently compact and versatile at only 660mm in height for users to consider the further alternatives when storing their wheelie bins. No longer would your wheelie bin serve as a cumbersome and obstructive object that caused a hindrance to working practices but more a convenient and adequate tool for waste storage.

Enhancing their innovativeness in the market even further, these bins weigh in at only 5.6kg ; so if you wanted to use this wheelie bin in a mobile capacity then it is lightweight enough to be lifted on and off vehicles to provide waste storage while on the move.

Over the last couple of years oil spills have been featured prominently on TV screens across the globe, thanks in large to the BP Deepwater Horizon spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010 and the ongoing problems regarding Shell’s control of oil spillage in the Niger Delta. However, it could now be that the possibility of this happening in British waters has increased with Parliaments vote last month to allow for ship to ship transfer of oil in the quaint Anglian coastal town of Southwold.

Understandably the decision has sparked cries of indignation from locals who now believe that even the threat of a spill could have a marked impact upon the local tourist industry.

John Perkins from the Southwold and Reydon Society commented that:

“The prospect we now face is a perpetual risk of an oil threat, large numbers of oil tankers…now come here. They all come to Southwald, they won’t go anywhere else.”

However, Government minister Mike Penning remains adamant that having the process occur within the British waters rather than in international waters will allow for better monitoring of such transfers and, help maintain the “generally excellent safety record” that these operations have in the UK.

Despite Government attempts to allay local fears Stephen Hagan, Convener of Orkney Island Council insists that the proposed site in Southwold is a far riskier enterprise than the transfers that take place at Scapa Flow Port in Orkney. He remarked that:

“we… have all the facilities to deal with an oil spill (in Scapa Flow) whereas… in Southwold…the risks are much, much higher.”

If the proposed oil terminal in Southwold is to be properly monitored and regulated then it should clearly provide a boost for Southwold’s local economy. If however, there is any complacency in the overseeing of these operations then the need for a swift and efficient spill containment response to any future incidents will be of the utmost importance to protect our fragile coastline.
