Amberol

For over 40 years Amberol have been helping Councils and In Bloom groups to put floral colour into urban environments successfully.

Amberol are also manufacturers of a comprehensive range of competitively priced quality litter bins and recycling units. Need a recycling solution or a bin for general waste we have one to meet your requirement. Whether you are a school, college or university we have an innovative solution.

Our most recent innovation was to team up with Sing London and Keep Britain Tidy to provide singing bins. These proved to be enormously popular as celebrity voices were used to sing or speak audible messages in return for litter being deposited in the bins. A trial showed that a reactive bin gathered twice as much waste in the same environment as a passive one.

Our new voice box is easily programmed and reprogrammed without removing the box itself and can deliver any length or number of messages depending on your objective.Come and see us on stand number 12 and experience the power of the spoken word.

Big Belly Solar Compacting Litter Bins

Our Big Belly Bins are the perfect solution to eradicate litter in your School. Not only can you save huge amounts on operational costs, they are also significantly reducing the carbon footprint.

Our robust revolutionary, environmental friendly, Solar Compacting Waste Litter bins are powered by a solar compactor which converts the Sun's energy into electricity to power an internal compactor which crushes the waste and increases the capacity up to eight times that of a normal litter bin.

When the bin is 80% full, the smart wireless monitoring system updates our CLEAN Software suite advising you to empty it! This proven, reliable technology is reducing collections by up to 90%, resulting in huge savings, which our customers are already achieving. Also CO2 is reduced by up to half tone per bin, per annum.

• No more litter on your school grounds
• No access to rubbish for wasps, birds and squirrels
• Substantial operating cost savings
• CO2 Reduction

The Smart Technology provides real time fill levels which you can view at all times, so driving deeper efficiencies and accurate collection, particularly for when there is a higher footfall anticipated. In addition each bin can be fitted with free wifi connectivity and can support targeted information of your school events, school team results and information via smart phones.

Join the many Schools who already have Big Belly Bins and help make a difference to our environment - The Waste Management System of the Future, NOW!

Clothes Aid

Established in 1996, Clothes Aid is the UK's largest clothes collection fundraising agency, generating over £1m every year for UK charities such as the NSPCC or Make-A-Wish Foundation® UK. In early 2012, the social business launched its Schools Collection scheme, giving schools the opportunity to raise funds for themselves or one of our partner charities.

As part of the programme, pupils learn about the environmental impact of clothes, the importance of active citizenship and the advantages of recycling. Textiles are the fastest-growing area of household waste, with approximately 1 million tonnes of textiles still going to UK landfill every year*. As a stakeholder on DEFRA's Sustainable Clothes Action Plan, Clothes Aid is committed to enabling and encouraging more families throughout the UK to recycle their unwanted textiles.

We pay £600 for every tonne of clothes collected - that's around £3 a bag, for 200 full bags. Your school can keep all of the money raised, or share it with one of our charity partners. It’s completely up to you.

"Clothes Aid has put in a phenomenal effort to help us raise over £2 million since July 2009. We are extremely grateful to Clothes Aid and the general public for helping raise such an exceptional amount for children."
Svetlana Kirov, NSPCC

"We are thrilled to be working with Clothes Aid. This year alone 1,400 children will turn to us to have their special wish granted. With your help we can grant many more."
Karen England, Make-A-Wish Foundation® UK

Clothes Aid is a member of the Institute of Fundraising and the Fundraising Standards Board. For more information please visit www.clothesaid.co.uk/specialcollections/schools

CO2Sense

CO2Sense is the not-for-profit low-carbon expert company that helps schools to cut their costs and to improve their environmental performance.

We help schools to find real cost savings by developing low-carbon strategies, which give no-nonsense, clear direction to reduce energy and water use, to produce less waste and to use fewer raw materials. We do this by working with the school to look at their needs, and develop a bespoke strategy for them. We then use this strategy to get the whole school involved with making cost and carbon savings.

We also help schools to generate free energy and to create an income from renewable electricity and heating installations. Because we're not trying to sell a particular type of renewable energy, we make sure that schools install the technologies that will deliver the best possible return for their investment. Our experts will look at the energy needs of the school and the site, and then make a recommendation specifically for their organisation.

We can even help to pay for low-carbon projects, with capital investment.

We'd love to meet you, come to our stand - no 30 - or seminar in room 3 at 11.30 to play Renewable Pursuits.

Billy was awestruck, he had a big smile on his face, but he was still in total disbelief. Without trying - or even searching for it - he had stumbled upon the single easiest environmental saving he could have made in his School. Billy immediately knew that his schools eco woes were over for good... and then some!

So what had Billy discovered and how is this relevant to you!

Firstly let us paint a picture for you.

In the UK alone at least 40 million printer and toner cartridges end up in landfill, every year. This is over 37,000 tons of toxic, non -recyclable waste that takes up to 1,000 years to bio-degrade. This amount of waste is nearly twice the amount of steel that was used to construct the 90,000 capacity Wembley Stadium. Staggering isn't it?

So what had Billy discovered?

Billy discovered colour printers for schools that do not require replacement toners or cartridges to print!

In fact the printers Billy stumbled upon were so environmentally friendly that for every single printer that he replaced in his school he was able to save each year

• 14kg of solid waste going to landfill
• 292kw of electricity being used
• 73kg of greenhouse gasses being emitted

The joyful smile on Billy's face was made even sweeter by the fact that his new supplier was at least 30% cheaper than his existing solution and he did not even need to purchase the printers, so there was no lengthy payback period and no time based contract to sign. Who says an environmentally friendly solution has to cost more, hey?

How, you may now be asking, can I find out if this will work for my school. Well its simple, visit stand 9 at the Eco School show to see for yourself how this new technology works and can benefit you.

Love Where You Live

Love Where You Live is a campaign that aims to inspire, encourage and enable us to make where we live, work and play the kind of place we really want it to be. It's about making a difference ourselves, whether as individuals, groups, local authorities or companies.

It's loving where we live that makes us want a great place to be even better. Whether it's the litter in our local park, the graffiti on the wall of a much-used community centre or a favourite canal-side walk in need of a clean up - if we love it, we want to do something to look after it.

The education sector has a vital role in raising public awareness to the importance of valuing where we live and more importantly how we live; why we don't drop litter, why we care about where we live. Our Love Where You Live Educational Resources include a range of free lesson ideas, assembly ideas, and challenges that link with the national curriculum and Eco-Schools Awards in creative ways.

In the last three years, we've also reached over 300,000 secondary school students through our popular Free Your Feet and Campaign in a Box schemes.

Tumbleweed

OUR WORMS ARE TURNING... Your household or schools organic food waste into a wonderful natural fertilizer - FOR LIFE, FOR FREE!

At Tumbleweed® we supply products that are essential for recycling both at home and at school; what's more our composters and worm farms are made from 100% recycled plastic ' proving how much we care about our environment.

Why recycle?

Approximately 30% of all waste we throw away is organic; Organic waste in landfill decomposes releasing methane, a potential greenhouse gas, along with an acidic leachate that can pollute the water table and therefore water sources.

Worm farming - or Vermicomposting - is the process by which special worms convert this waste into 'wormcasts' - a rich, PH neutral organic compost, along with a nourishing liquid feed known as 'worm tea' - both of which aid growth and vitality when used on your garden or vegetable patch. Worms love to live in our worm farms - and a happy worm is a hungry worm!

Which Worm-farm is best for you?

The Tumbleweed Can-o-Worms™ is an excellent educational tool designed to introduce young people to composting and recycling.

The Tumbleweed Worm Café® is the ultimate Hi-rise, low maintenance accommodation for hungry worms - with easy-to-use features designed to ensure maximum benefit both at home or at school.

We want all Eco Schools to be 'Worm Friendly' - so come and see us, and our friendly worms, at the Eco Schools Show - stand 18 or contact Andy Wigg:
