That's an excellent and very important question. We appreciate you asking about the environmental impact of our manufacturing process, as it's a core focus for us. We believe a product designed for urban cleanliness shouldn't contribute to the problem it aims to solve.
Our approach is built on a lifecycle perspective. Primarily, we use post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastics—often from previously collected bottles and containers—as the main material for many of our bin models. This diverts significant waste from landfills and reduces the need for virgin petroleum-based plastics. Our manufacturing facilities have implemented energy-efficient technologies and aim to source renewable energy where possible, directly lowering the carbon emissions associated with production.
We design our bins for extreme durability and longevity to resist weathering and vandalism, which means they don't need to be replaced as often, reducing long-term waste. Furthermore, at the end of their very long service life, the bins are themselves highly recyclable, closing the loop in a circular economy model.
We are continuously auditing our supply chain and processes to minimize water usage, reduce emissions, and find new ways to integrate recycled content. Our goal isn't just to make a container for trash, but to provide a sustainable tool for cities committed to responsible waste management. Choosing our bins is a choice for a system that considers the entire environmental picture.
