Our story
Sortaider - environment-friendly sorting solutions
Sortaider is an Estonian company that designs and manufactures functional and practical waste sorting solutions.
Driven by the desire to be environment-friendly and offer this opportunity to others, we developed sorting solutions that are environment-friendly and good looking.
Our Nordic style products fit into any interior and in addition to their functionality, they’re also a design element.
Sortaider Container was given a Red Dot award in 2021, which is a great recognition for our product and the company as a whole.

Design
A sustainable and eco-friendly lifestyle is a direction our designer Johannes Maltis is passionate about. Creating eco-friendly and functional sorting solutions is one of the ways he contributes to the matter.
Sortaider products have been designed in collaboration with users and have undergone all the necessary improvements, but one of our original principles – the screwless solution – will always be a Sortaider’s trademark.
Sortaider waste sorting solution modules
The minimalist Sortaider waste sorting bins are perfect for kitchens, rooms, offices, and public indoor spaces. Sortaider modules are available in three different sizes, and when combined, they create a waste sorting solution that meets real needs. Waste types are marked with pictograms on the front panel, and sorting instructions with color coding are clearly displayed under the lid. Each module has rear wheels for easier movement and a functional compartment at the back for storing waste bags.
To reduce CO2 emissions, Sortaider waste sorting solution modules are delivered in disassembled form, but assembly is easy as no tools or screws are required.

Why is a wooden trash can better?
Sortaider products are made from FSC certified waterproof Baltic birch plywood, one of the most valued materials in the world for its strength and durability. Since wood is a renewable resource, its use in production has a smaller ecological footprint than plastic. A wooden waste bin is a more sustainable choice because wood can be recycled as a material and is ultimately biodegradable. Unlike metal and plastic, plywood does not emit CO2, but removes it from circulation.
Sortaider sorting solutions – an environmentally friendly way to separate waste at source
Sortaider waste sorting stations are designed with a focus on quality, simplicity, and distinctive design. Our goal is to make waste sorting convenient and efficient in any environment (e.g., kindergartens/schools, offices, public indoor spaces, etc.). Sortaider products are made from FSC-certified Baltic birch plywood, produced using green energy. The moisture-resistant plywood is coated with Renner Pure Bio coatings made from renewable sources and contains no volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions.
Sortaider production is zero-waste – materials are used to the fullest, and any scraps that we cannot further utilize are pressed into pellets. Our products are packaged plastic-free in boxes made from recycled cardboard.
The production chain as a whole is very well thought out and sustainable. Let's take care of nature together!
