Orbis solves warehouse recycling dilemma.

RUD’s new no-fuss Orbis recycling bin has proven to be an effective solution for extending corporate recycling programs into warehouses and factories.

Corporate offices have long been committed to all-embracing waste management strategies that create a safe and clean working environment.  This commitment is now seeing it’s way into the ‘back-of-house’ operations where organisations can make considerable waste reductions, further reducing their costs and creating a more environmentally responsible company.

Warehouses and factories offer many opportunities to recycle – the more traditional including industrial items like tyres, metal scraps, batteries, oil and chemicals. The Orbis bin, manufactured by Glasdon and distributed in Australian by RUD, facilitates the effective recycling of bottles, paper and cans – materials traditionally only recycled in offices.  Now Companies can extend their recycling programs out of the offices and into their adjoining warehouses and factories.

Of course, despite the investment a company makes in their corporate recycling programs, they will not be effective unless they stimulate a change in their employees work habits.  One effective strategy is to clearly sign the recycling bins – people will take the time to separate their rubbish into recycle and waste bins if they are clearly signed and easy to understand.  It is here that the Orbis recycle bin goes one step further and encourages recycling in a way other bin solutions can not.  The Orbis is essentially a stand and frame that holds a see-through garbage bag.  Being able to see the contents makes it virtually impossible to throw rubbish into the wrong bin.  And because the Orbis can be installed without a lid, throwing rubbish away couldn’t be easier. 

The Orbis can be free-standing or fixed, and can be mounted as single or multiple bins.  It is constructed from a corrosion resistant metal post and a durable polymer top, so regardless of the rough handling it may endure in a warehouse or factory, it will withstand extremes of temperature, will never rust, chip or break and will never need repainting.  The see-through garbage bags are easily inserted, will hold up to 55kg of waste, and can be removed without having to lift the bag out over the bin top.    Where required, a clear polycarbonate cage option can cover and protect the garbage bag without impairing its transparency.

Warehouses and factories are busy places – deliveries come in, goods are unpacked, products are manufactured and assembled, goods are repacked and finally sent out again.  It is a never ending cycle of complex procedures, and it seems that the simple and robust design of the Orbis is the perfect recycling solution for this environment.
