Easier recycling handling

It is reported that every tonne of glass recycled saves 322 kWh of energy, 246kg of CO2 and the need to quarry 1.2 tonnes of virgin raw materials. Anything that improves the 30% of glass currently recycled every year in the UK is to be encouraged.

Although there are some 50,000 bottle banks in the UK there are collection points where their sheer size makes their deployment inappropriate. Leafield Environmental's Envirobin Maxi 'fits the bill' in such situations but, until now, the collection liner, when full of bottles, was heavy to manoeuvre and difficult to handle.

Its new multi-stacking liner system incorporates up to three interlocking liners, each with handles. When the top liner is full it can be moved to the bottom and a new empty liner is brought up.

making easier manual handling of the empty bottles. An optional, four castor, dolly enables full liners to be wheeled more easily.
