Organic waste to onsite heat
Hospitals generate food and organic waste collected through centralised or pneumatic systems. Flexibuster converts this waste into renewable heat, supporting sterilisation, hot water, and space heating demands.
Reducing external waste haulage enhances site security and infection control management while lowering operating costs.
The system strengthens hospital resilience, providing partial energy independence and supporting healthcare sustainability targets.
“UHS aims to be one of the most sustainable NHS hospitals in the UK and we have demonstrated our desire to drive down the organisation’s carbon footprint through a variety of
projects. This fantastic innovation is the latest exciting stage in that process and we are delighted to be the first hospital in the UK to adopt it.We believe the technology will have a tremendous impact on our drive to improve sustainability within the organisation and, potentially, the wider NHS.”
