PlantMat Disposal

All waste transfers are subject to; The Waste (England and Wales) Regulations 2011

How will I know when it's time to replace the PlantMat?

Although the PlantMat can be used on multiple occasions, once it reaches capacity it must be safely disposed of within; The Waste (England and Wales) Regulations 2011

There will be a visual indicator (you will see a colour change where the spillage has been absorbed) and the PlantMat will become increasingly rigid when nearing capacity.
