Why waste separation is important

In Switzerland, separating waste is part of everyday life. Those who sort waste properly actively protect the environment and conserve resources. PET, aluminum, paper, or organic waste can be more effectively recycled when disposed of correctly. This reduces the amount of residual waste, saves energy, and lowers CO₂ emissions. Recycling also decreases the demand for new raw materials. This benefits not only the environment but also your wallet.

Product overview: Waste separation systems at a glance

At the Heros Hygiene online shop, you will find various waste separation systems for households, offices, or public areas. Depending on space and needs, you can choose between compact solutions for the kitchen or robust outdoor recycling stations. Particularly popular is our 4-way waste separation system, which holds 4 x 110 liters. It is weather-resistant, sturdy, and can be fitted with custom labels on request. This makes the system ideal for companies or residential complexes.

Advantages of a well-designed waste separation system

A good waste separation system saves time and makes disposal more efficient. Clear colors, unambiguous symbols, and practical openings ensure that everyone knows what goes where. Mistakes in sorting are avoided, and disposal staff are relieved of extra work. Separate compartments for PET, aluminum, and residual waste allow for clean separation. This makes it easier to recycle materials and reduces the need for new resources. It saves energy and lowers CO₂ emissions. 

Recycling stations in the household

A well-thought-out recycling station makes waste separation at home easier. Those who want to collect several types of waste in one place need a system with a clear structure. Our 3-way waste separation system offers a volume of 3 x 75 liters, fits into tight spaces, and is clearly labeled with both colors and text.  Thanks to its compact design, this solution is also suitable for smaller kitchens, laundry rooms, or balconies.

Waste separation systems for the office

Proper waste separation is also important in the office. Whether it’s paper, PET bottles, cans, or residual waste, the right system makes sorting easier for all employees. Our 3-way waste separation system can be supplied with your personal logo. The recycling station is compact, discreet, and clearly labeled. It can be placed conveniently in break rooms, copy areas, or conference rooms. Waste systems are particularly popular in public buildings. A well-designed separation system promotes environmental awareness in the workplace and meets ecological standards.

Buying guide: What should you pay attention to?

Which waste separation system suits your needs? The most important factor is volume. For families, we recommend systems with three to four compartments. In smaller households, two separate containers are often sufficient. If the system is to be used outdoors, weather-resistant materials are essential. Labeling is also important. The clearer the labeling, the better waste separation works in everyday life. Our models are made of high-quality, stainless steel and are designed for different requirements.

Tips for sustainable waste separation in everyday life

With small adjustments, waste separation in daily life can be improved. Colored containers and clear pictograms help people find the right bin. Children can be involved through playful tasks. The system should also be easy for guests to understand. Sorting waste as it is generated saves time and effort during disposal. This way, waste separation becomes second nature.
