Overview of Recycling Types
Recycling includes various types depending on the material involved. The most common categories are paper, glass, metals like aluminum, plastics like PET, and organic waste. Each type requires its own collection and processing system. It's essential that materials are collected as purely as possible, this is the only way to ensure high-quality reuse.
Recycling Products at Heros Hygiene
At Heros Hygiene, we support companies, institutions, authorities, and households across Switzerland with functional and durable recycling products. Our range is designed to make waste separation as easy as possible in everyday life. Whether for PET, aluminum, plastic, or paper, we offer the right solution for every type of waste.
Recycling Boxes and Containers
Many offices, public spaces, or residential complexes lack a well-thought-out collection system. As a result, valuable materials often end up in regular waste and are lost for reuse. This can be prevented with the right recycling containers. Our boxes are clearly labeled, robust, functional, and support correct separation. Providing visible, practical collection points not only facilitates recycling but also motivates people to participate actively.
Our Range of Eco-Friendly Products
Our product range includes high-quality collection containers made in Switzerland. Particularly popular are our models for PET, aluminum, and plastic, compatible with official 85-liter or 110-liter bags. For waste paper, we offer boxes with a practical binding system for bundled collection.
Functionality is not our only focus—design matters too. Our recycling boxes are available in various colors, patterns, and even with art motifs. This lets you set a stylish example for sustainability, whether at home or in the office. Custom designs, such as with your company logo, are also available—just get in touch with us.
Everyday Use Cases
Recycling isn’t just for large businesses. A lot can be achieved at home or in smaller operations too. Our boxes fit into any kitchen, office, or shared space. For larger quantities, we also offer outdoor solutions. The goal is to make recycling as easy as possible in daily life. Practical solutions lower the threshold and turn environmental protection into a matter of course.
Plastic Waste Recycling
Plastics make up a large part of everyday waste. Yet many communities still lack enough collection points, even though consistent collection here would be especially effective. Recycling plastic prevents environmental and water pollution and actively contributes to nature conservation. Collection is done at official drop-off points. Businesses with larger volumes can also arrange for pickups.
PET Recycling
PET is one of the most commonly used plastics and can be fully recycled. The key is collecting bottles separately by type. Our PET containers are designed for the official Swiss PET bags, which are also available from us. In households, PET can be dropped off free of charge at points of sale. For larger quantities, disposal is managed via collection points or organized pickups. PET presses are also a great option. Every recycled bottle saves energy and protects the environment.
Recycling Stations and Boxes
Recycling only works if it's easy to implement in everyday life. That’s why we offer waste separation systems that allow you to create custom recycling stations. Ideal for companies, schools, or public institutions. Clearly visible and accessible collection points not only make waste separation easier, they also increase willingness to participate.
Glass and Aluminum Recycling
Glass and aluminum can be recycled almost indefinitely. This saves raw materials and reduces energy consumption. Aluminum, in particular, has enormous energy-saving potential—up to 95% compared to new production. Separate collection is crucial. For drink cans and other aluminum packaging, there are special aluminum presses. Aluminum coffee capsules should be disposed of separately as well.
Recycling in Switzerland
Switzerland has an efficient recycling system with high public acceptance. Public collection points, take-back obligations in retail, and well-structured disposal channels provide excellent conditions. However, success ultimately depends on each individual's behavior. Everyone who participates contributes to protecting natural resources.
Sustainability Through Recycling
Recycling is a key part of a sustainable lifestyle. Every recycled package, properly disposed bottle, and separately collected sheet of paper strengthens the circular economy. Resources are conserved, CO₂ is reduced, and the amount of waste is minimized. Our products help make this process efficient and user-friendly. This way, waste becomes a valuable resource—day by day.
