Unique exposure conditions in the waste sector

Waste sector workers face a daily reality that few other sectors experience: handling household, industrial, or organic waste, and coming into regular contact with soiled liquids, bioaerosols, and pathogens. By the end of the day, their gloves, boots, overalls, and high-visibility vests carry a particularly heavy bacterial and contaminant load.

Between shifts, schedules are tight and drying conditions are rarely optimal. For over 40 years, JVD has been developing hygiene solutions designed for the most demanding environments. We support local authorities in protecting their field workers with robust, French-made solutions that are built to last.

How to improve PPE hygiene in the waste sector?

Damp, soiled, or smelly equipment is not just uncomfortable: it can become a vector for contamination and a deterrent to actually wearing it.

Without a proper maintenance solution, wear and tear accelerates, replacements multiply, and workers’ health is put at risk.

Our Novven and Hygitec solutions take care of the entire PPE hygiene cycle: deep drying at controlled temperatures, chemical-free disinfection with an efficiency rate of over 99.999% against viruses and bacteria, and long-lasting odor neutralization. At the start of every shift, your workers return to clean, dry, and fully operational equipment.

Which JVD solutions are tailored for waste collection and treatment workers?

Disinfecting cabinets

Drying, natural disinfection, and odor neutralization for your PPE

Boot and glove dryers

Complete hygiene (drying, hygiene, odors) for your boots and gloves

Drying cabinets and lockers

Take care of everyday PPE by drying, deodorizing, and storing it

Why invest in maintaining the PPE of your waste sector workers?

Extend the lifespan of your equipment

Properly dried and disinfected PPE wears out less quickly, stands up better to repeated washing, and requires fewer premature replacements. The result: simplified inventory management and long-term cost control.

Improve working conditions and employee retention

Providing clean, dry, and odor-free equipment to workers performing one of the most demanding jobs in the public sector sends a powerful message. This level of daily care directly contributes to workplace well-being and team retention.

Commit to a responsible purchasing approach

Fewer machine washes, zero chemicals, and a significantly longer lifespan for your PPE: the Novven and Hygitec solutions fit naturally into a rigorous CSR policy, a criterion that is increasingly valued in public tenders.
