A waste disposal system is a practical helper in the kitchen. In this room, garbage is generated every day and needs to be disposed of. Switzerland is one of the countries with the highest waste generation in the world. However, Switzerland not only produces a lot of garbage per person. The Swiss have also become real masters of recycling.

A waste system in the kitchen is therefore a must in Swiss households. This makes disposal easier. You can easily separate valuable raw materials such as glass, paper, plastic and cans from the rest of the waste. Find out how to find the right waste system for your kitchen here.

Why should you have a waste system in the kitchen?

A waste system is essential in the kitchen. Almost every type of kitchen work produces waste at some point. That's why it makes sense to have a waste system in the kitchen that makes disposal and recycling easy.

The individual waste bins should be placed as well as possible and arranged in a structured manner. Ideally, they should be easy to reach. When designing the kitchen, short distances and good accessibility are important. A waste system must therefore be adapted to the furnishings.

Just imagine how much time you waste if you have to walk long distances to the trash can every day. The joy of baking and cooking in the kitchen can quickly disappear. With a well-thought-out, clever waste disposal system, you can shorten these routes and save valuable time in your everyday life.

Recycling is also a top priority in Switzerland. In order for recyclable materials to be returned to the cycle and recycled, they must be disposed of accordingly. A waste system with different containers makes this process easier. Each container can be assigned a specific type of waste. This makes sorting and disposal easy. You can find out what, how and where is collected at Swiss Recycling, for example.

How do you integrate a waste system into the kitchen?

If you are looking for a waste system for the kitchen, you have several options. Waste systems are available in different sizes and designs. For example, you can place the waste system for the kitchen in a base cabinet.

The first step is to measure the base cabinet. If the waste system is to be placed directly under the sink, drain pipes often have to be included in the planning. If you want to store cleaning utensils under the sink, you also have to plan this space accordingly. You should take this into account when choosing your waste system for the kitchen.

It may of course be the case that you cannot or do not want to integrate your waste system under the sink. In such a case, you can also choose a different base cabinet for it. Perhaps a neighboring base cabinet is suitable. In any case, you should consider which location makes strategic sense.

It may not be possible to install the waste separation system. In this case, a free-standing waste system such as the S-Line is ideal for waste separation. At Müllex you will find various waste separation systems. If you want to install the waste system in an existing kitchen, the BOXX-R product line is a good choice.

The BOXX-R waste systems are ideal for kitchen renovations. Müllex supplies a pull-out for the waste system that can be integrated into any kitchen.

What advantages does the BOXX-R waste system from Müllex offer?

You don't have a waste system in your kitchen yet? Then the BOXX-R waste system could be the right choice. It is suitable if you want to redesign and renovate your kitchen. It can be attached directly to an existing front. Once the pull-out is installed, the waste system is then installed.

The waste system with pull-out is also suitable for heavy weights. You can store not only practical waste containers in the pull-out, but also cleaning products and cleaning utensils. The Müllex pull-outs can hold up to 100 kilograms in weight. Thanks to the high screw-on angle, the system is also stable when opening and closing.

With the BOXX-R system you can create additional storage space. The stored items are well protected by the recessed shape and side metal brackets.

Another advantage is that the drawer closes gently. It has a built-in damper. This means that the drawer is gently slowed down and closes silently. Feel free to use the configurator for our BOXX-R product line and put together your own individual waste separation system.

Various installation options are available

If you are planning a waste system for your kitchen, you can choose between different installation options. There is a suitable waste separation system for every kitchen - whether newly planned or already existing. The following installation options are available:

– Hinged door cabinets: This is a simple system that is quickly installed. The waste separation system is integrated into an existing kitchen cabinet. When the door is opened, the waste containers can be easily pulled out.

– Front installation: The waste system is connected directly to the front of the kitchen cabinet. If the front is opened, the waste containers are pulled out. This system does not require a lid and you don't have to get your hands dirty.

– Systems for drawers: A waste separation system can be installed in an existing drawer. Waste systems are quickly and easily installed in drawer runners. Drawers are also very flexible and easy to clean.

The installation option is often neglected when planning a kitchen. However, how the door opens can make a big difference in everyday life. How should the waste separation system be installed? Think in advance about which installation option suits you. You can also choose whether the waste separation system should open with a handle or by pressing.
