This webinar will examine the legislation and regulations that cover provision of hygiene bins and disposal of contents. The speaker will mention why the Brilliant Bin system fits that legislation but principally it will be to advise what the range of options are.

Delivered by Susan Hofgartner, of Brilliant Bins, who started work as an accountant and working at board level in various SMEs. Managing finance and administration in these companies, she inevitably got involved in the contracts for the hygiene bins. That convinced her that there must be a better way to deal with this issue. In 2008 she started working on the project and submitted patent applications for the long-life disposable bins, followed by launching them in 2010.
