The Heart of Global Recycling

Glass Recycling is at the heart of the global recycling and carbon emissions reduction effort. Glass Recycling is a hugely beneficial process, as the material's structure does not deteriorate when reprocessed, meaning 100% of the waste glass can be reclaimed and reused in the manufacturing process, saving on carbon emissions.

However, collection from the several million Glass Recycling banks worldwide is an expensive process, both in terms of financial cost and also in carbon emissions. (In the European Union alone, there are over one million glass bottle banks). SmartBin's very first solution was developed specifically to assist in optimizing the collection process. 

Improving Collection Efficiencies

By using real-time fill-level monitoring, SmartBin's solution ensured that Glass Bottle Banks were serviced only when servicing was necessary! Initial trials demonstrated that the number of service visits could be reduced by over 30% !

So the service fleet and costs can be reduced....or 50% more sites could be managed using the existing fleet !

SmartBin's Recycling Bank Solution now incorporates the basic remote fill-level monitoring capability of the earlier systems but, in addition, offers a host of other management features that streamline the overall collection process. These additional features include:

• Resource Management, assignment of resources for specific tasks
• Alerts, configurable online for delivery by SMS or email
• Standard reports on Bin Utilization and Service Performance
• Remote diagnostics
