LOOKING BACK AT THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2025
It’s certainly been a busy but incredible start to 2025 here at SMI. We’ve seen new faces join the team, product innovations, alongside announcing a new acquisition!
Trusted by leading waste management and recycling companies across the UK, SMI ensure your people are protected and comfortable.
The Waste and Recycling industry is inherently hazardous, with operatives working on a daily basis with toxic, heavy, and potentially injurious materials and substances. As a result, Waste and Recycling teams are reliant upon effective, durable protective equipment and workwear which maximises dexterity, while minimising or eradicating potential risks.
Within SMI, our Research and Product Development division has worked consistently with the Waste and Recycling industry, collaborating with our customers to source innovative new materials and products, and design and manufacture outstanding protective gear.
From clothing and PPE through to consumables and tools, SMI has been protecting the Waste and Recycling sector for over 20 years.
STOCKING BRANDS THAT DELIVER
As a member of the British Safety Industry Federation (BSIF) and their Registered Safety Supplier Scheme, we've signed a binding declaration that the safety equipment we supply meets appropriate standards, fully complies with the PPE regulations, and is CE/UKCA marked. This provides our commitment to going beyond the basic requirements of product testing.
We also employ dedicated staff to manage our accreditations, ensuring our compliance with these standards is carried out and maintained throughout our organisation.
Partnering with SMI gives you and your team access to one of the most advanced PPE and workwear management systems in the industry. The system is intuitive, user-friendly and specifically designed according to the needs and feedback of our customers.
Features include order approval processes, reporting, management capabilities, wearer packs, favourite products, multiple orders per basket, and more!
