At Lifeswonderful, we are committed to supporting the NHS, charities & other healthcare organisations in moving closer to their ambitious net-zero carbon emission targets. We believe that every small step counts towards creating a sustainable future, which is why we are excited to offer a new, innovative service: recycling used rubber ferrules from crutches, walking sticks & walking frames.

  How It Works

We are pleased to offer a recycling service to all NHS trusts, healthcare organisations, & charities participating in our preferred supplier programme. Our aim is to reduce waste, conserve natural resources, & support your sustainability goals.

Option 1: Lifeswonderful Ltd as Your Preferred Supplier

Lifeswonderful will become your designated ‘Preferred Supplier’ for your future purchases of rubber ferrules. This agreement establishes us as the primary supplier for your future rubber ferrule orders used on walking frames, crutches, & walking sticks. Importantly, there will be no recycling fee, & we are happy to recycle as many ferrules as you require.

To facilitate this process, we provide a convenient container to use for your discarded ferrules, & we’ll arrange collection once it’s full, Our recycling containers can hold approximately 200 ferrules & are designed for multiple uses, making them more sustainable than single-use cardboard boxes.

Each container will ship with a unique serial & tracking number, ensuring full traceability throughout its journey, including to the recycling center. At the end of this process, you can download a certificate for your records from our website.

With Option 1, there is a charge of £15 for the delivery & collection of the container once it's full, but no recycling fee.

You will be able to track every step of the recycling journey with our tracking service. TRACKING LINK
