A waste system in the kitchen brings order and protects the environment
Gone are the days when all household waste ended up in a single garbage can. Environmental awareness is increasing, and responsible waste separation has become an everyday issue in Switzerland. And that's a good thing. In the interests of environmental protection, waste avoidance and waste separation are urgently needed. A high-quality waste system in the kitchen supports this idea in the long term.
At Müllex, we have made it our mission to make waste separation easier and as convenient as possible. Our product lines score with the following advantages:
- easy to clean
- can be installed anywhere - whether new building or renovation
- large volume, sensibly arranged
- elegant design
- stability and durability
The kitchen is often the hub of the household. Putting away groceries, cooking, playing - all of this is often done in the cozy kitchen. So it is logical to put the household's waste separation system in the kitchen. Garages, storage rooms, the garden shed or a basement room are also suitable places to collect recyclables, for example. But more on that in a moment.
What planning for the waste system in the kitchen makes sense?
Waste disposal in Switzerland is very well regulated. Garbage, recyclables, organic waste, hazardous waste, recyclable waste - the separation is carried out in detail and carefully. In the interests of sustainability, strict attention is paid to conserving natural resources and processing waste accordingly.
The top priority is to avoid waste. Shopping at the weekly market avoids packaging waste for fruit and vegetables. Second-hand purchases, flea markets or borrowing items are easy on your wallet and the environment. Nevertheless, waste is naturally generated in everyday life. This must be separated sensibly.
Müllex offers the perfect solution for every situation. Whether it's an existing kitchen or planning a new build: with our well thought-out solutions, waste separation becomes child's play.
It is worth including the waste system in the kitchen directly in the planning when building a new one. Garbage, residual waste, recyclables and organic waste neatly separated and space-saving under the sink? No problem with Müllex! Our systems can be configured as required and are therefore flexible.
What installation options are there for the waste system in the kitche
Existing kitchens can also be easily equipped with Müllex kitchen waste systems. Our product configurator allows you to plan in detail and intuitively online. This way, the various installation options for the waste system in the kitchen are checked and the final solution can be created. This can be done without stress - even at the kitchen table.
X-LINE
- Easy bag clamping: Fee bags fit perfectly into the waste containers, they are easy to clamp and are perfectly durable. This ensures that the volume of the bags is used as efficiently as possible. The full bags can be easily removed from the holder, closed and disposed of.
- Installation in standard pull-out drawers: The X-LINE adapts easily to all dimensions of pull-out drawers thanks to a flexibly adjustable rail. The specific 60 cm solution and compliance with the Swiss standard create even more space. Existing storage space is used up to 31 percent better.
- Optimal separation with up to seven containers: Attractive design with maximum functionality is just one of the outstanding product features of the X-LINE. For environmentally conscious Swiss people, it is obligatory to separate different types of waste directly. And don't forget the storage space for dishwasher tablets, rags or garbage bags. We've thought of that too. The pull-out drawer offers enough storage space for all needs.
The X-LINE is the clever waste system for the kitchen with many different options to suit every need.
BOXX-R and ZK BOXX for renovation and existing kitchens
If you already have a comfortable kitchen or are planning a renovation, these systems are the best option. Kitchens that were planned years or decades ago are not designed to meet today's waste separation requirements. Active waste separation in this form has only been around since the 1970s.
With BOXX-R and ZK BOXX we have created solutions that can be installed in any kitchen. The flexibly installed waste systems for the kitchen are tried and tested and are subject to a constant process of optimization. Our product developers are always up to date with the latest research, legislation and material improvements.
Which waste should be separated using the kitchen waste system?
How far each household wants to go with waste separation in the kitchen waste system is a personal decision. In Switzerland, a trend has been evident for years that cannot be stopped: waste separation is carried out conscientiously and systematically. Some types of waste should be separated compulsorily so that no problems arise when disposing of it.
Garbage
There are fee-based bags available for household waste or residual waste. In order for these to be filled and used optimally, they need a stable holder and waste containers made of robust material. Everything that cannot be recycled goes into the bag.
Organic waste
If you have a garden and a compost bin, organic waste is easy to deal with. The waste goes on the compost heap, where the best compost is created for the garden bed. The POT compost bin with filter and lid is ideal for this. But separating waste using the waste system in the kitchen also works well. ZK BOXX and X-LINE, for example, include compost bins that can be easily closed.
Recyclable materials
Waste paper, bottles, cans, packaging - recyclable materials are collected separately and returned to the Ökihof or retail outlets. Müllex has particularly large waste containers available that are ideal for meeting these challenges. The large volume and stability can withstand sharp can edges and broken glass without any problems.
The BigBag: Flexible addition to the waste system in the kitchen
Stable, tear-resistant, perfect for transport: The BigBag is the ideal addition to the waste system in the kitchen. It not only offers perfect conditions for collecting and transporting recyclable materials. On vacation, for laundry, for use in the garden: The BigBag can be used in a variety of ways.
Freestanding trash cans
Wobbly racks that stand in the kitchen as an unsightly waste system are a thing of the past. As a free-standing trash can, our BOXX is unbeatable and has the following features:
- lots of volume
- practical folding mechanism
- easily closable lid
- attractive design
- stability
- mobile flexibility
