In the UK, millions of hard hats are discarded each year—most of which end up in landfill. JSP recommends replacing your hard hat every 5 years or immediately if it suffers an impact. However, simply disposing of helmets in general waste contributes to unnecessary environmental harm.

To combat this, the National Hard Hat Recycling Scheme was created. This initiative diverts used safety helmets away from landfill and into a dedicated recycling facility. Here, helmets are fully processed and recycled responsibly.

JSP is proud to be a founding member of this scheme and actively uses the service to recycle its own end-of-life helmets. By participating in this programme, users can significantly reduce waste and support sustainable practices in the workplace.
