Every little step counts

You’ve been having an individual bin at your desk. It has been of course very convenient to dispose any type of waste, but do you really pay attention to what you throw?

One of Spare-it’s recommendations is to set up centralised sorting stations, along with the deployment of the connected scales, offering the different waste streams needed, like

• General waste and recycling paper in the office areas/co-working spaces,

• All waste streams (general waste, food waste, plastic, metal, glass and paper) in the coffee/break-out areas.

By centralizing bins, we are making it harder not to dispose waste correctly, easier to recycle what needs to be recycled. Thanks to these centralised sorting stations, different types of waste stream will be available at the same location, easily accessible to everyone. This will help improve sorting, get better recycling and increase diversion.

The layout of the sorting stations is usually designed to be easily accessible and visible to a group of co-workers, within reach from each desk. Going to the sorting station will allow you to get up from your desk to ease your body, reboot your brain and increase your productivity at work. You will also be able to enjoy increased legroom with fewer obstacles and more space under your desk.

Setting up central sorting stations is a strong step towards reducing waste and contamination. The removal of the individual bins helps raise awareness on the waste generated and on sorting, encouraging recycling and avoiding the easiness to put everything in the individual waste bin.

Additionally, by centralising the bins, it will simplify waste collection by the cleaning team.
