Configure Decorative Recycling Stations

Functionality and aesthetics combined

Your facility users: staff, customers, students etc., are looking for your business to have sustainability high on the agenda.
With 88% of consumers actively wanting brands to help them be more sustainable, it’s impossible to underestimate the reputational impact of ignoring the call to put the environment first.

Effective recycling is a simple, yet often overlooked, way of improving your sustainability credentials. Firstly, it’s highly visible to your facility users; by separating waste front of house, you are directly telling them that you take your responsibility seriously. Secondly, by simply separating your waste streams and signposting your recycling stations, you are highly likely to increase your overall recycling rates, and therefore reduce the amount you send to general waste. Rubbermaid Commercial Products (RCP) recently published a study, working with the logistics giant, DPD, showing a 48% improvement in recycling rates simply by installing effective split recycling. This will  result in 500 tonnes of waste being sent back to the circular economy rather than going to general waste disposal. Once you have committed to improving recycling, this is something you can share with your facility users to, once again, show that you’re taking sustainability seriously.

In addition to environmental benefits, improving recycling rates can also benefit your budget. Costs of general waste collection are typically higher than recycling streams, so the more you recycle, the less goes to general waste and the more you save. Due to this, DPD recouped their investment within 12 months of installing their RCP recycling system, a cost saving of 27%.

The Configure Decorative Recycling Stations are easy to configure modular recycling systems for facilities with sustainability and aesthetics in mind.

Waste containers don’t need to be unsightly; the Configure system is made from premium galvanised steel to ensure durability and provide a premium appearance. The containers can be organised to meet your needs; multiple colours, waste streams, labels and billboards so you can collect and recycle the waste that is most appropriate to your environment. For added peace of mind, all containers come with a 5 year warranty.

Connected by magnets to arrange containers into multiple configurations.

Set up as a row or island to suit your facility layout.

Easy access front door with handle allows for ergonomic emptying of the internal rigid liners.

The built-in venting channels facilitate the air flow in to the rigid line to make bag lifting easier.
