Sustainability

Sustainability in recycling bins and waste bins

At Sortaider, sustainability means two things: a correctly sized sorting point and verifiable product information. This page brings together all the pages on the subject, so that you can find either a planning guide for your use environment or the verification of the material, service life and environmental impact of the products.

The pages are divided into two groups. The use environment guides help you determine the waste fraction, volume, placement and maintenance before choosing a model. The verification pages explain what the product information is based on.

Sustainability by use environment – recycling bins

Four guides to planning a sorting point for several waste fractions.

• Office recycling bins 10–90 l – from the workstation to shared spaces.
• Public space recycling bins Container 3–5 × 40 l – hospitals, clinics and lobbies.
• Indoor recycling bins Ecolong 60–90 l – Longopac, waste sack and bag-free use.
• School recycling bins 20–90 l – classrooms, corridors and dining areas.

Sustainability by use environment – waste bins

Three guides to planning a collection point for a single waste fraction.

• Public space waste bins Sorta 60–90 l – lobbies, corridors and waiting areas.
• Office and business premises waste bins Sortaider 30–90 l – workstations, meeting rooms and break rooms.
• Outdoor waste bins Sort 40–120 l – yards, parks and entrances.

Sustainability as overviews that make choosing easier

Two extensive comparison pages for when the product series is not yet clear.

• Recycling bins for 2–5 waste fractions – when to choose a sorting point for several waste fractions and which of the four series fits.
• Single-fraction waste bins 30–120 l – when one waste fraction is enough and which of the three series fits.

Sustainability verified

Four pages explain what the product information is based on. These pages present only information that can be verified.

• Long service life of recycling bins and waste bins – replaceable parts and repairability.
• Plywood as a material for recycling bins and waste bins – material properties and comparison.
• Environmental impact of recycling bins and waste bins – materials, production and service life.
• Container W4 Red Dot Design Award 2021 – official award information for a single model.

Sustainability and product warranty

Sortaider products have a two-year warranty. In many models a damaged part can be replaced without renewing the whole product, which extends the service life of the product. Products are delivered assembled and packed, and the first correctly sized waste sack is included in the delivery.
