Waste separation containers: What goes in which container?
Which waste is best? The one that doesn't even arise! That sounds very simple in theory. In practice, however, it is often difficult to avoid garbage and waste. Our waste separation containers are well thought-out, high-quality systems that make waste separation easier for you.
It is worth taking a closer look at the waste that is generated at home, during leisure time, etc.
Where does waste come from?
In everyday life, there are numerous activities that generate waste, such as:
- Food waste after preparing food
- Daily newspaper
- Disposable packaging waste when unpacking and consuming food and all imaginable consumer goods
- Medicines and the associated packaging after recovering from an illness
- Old clothes, old shoes
- Used oil after changing the oil
- Old tires after changing the tires
- Rechargeable batteries
Even consumer goods that are designed for long-term use eventually become waste themselves. These include the following things:
- Electrical/electronic devices such as computers or televisions
- Furniture, carpets
- Household appliances
How do waste separation containers help to properly separate waste?
The Swiss are exemplary when it comes to recycling waste. We would like to show you how to make separating waste in your household as easy as possible. The easiest way to separate waste is to use containers from a Müllex waste system.
Tip 1: Collect where waste is generated
Food is processed in the kitchen every day. This is where most of the waste is generated. Collecting it on site minimizes the effort:
- Ideally, you should create enough space for separation in the kitchen.
- This is not always possible. In this case, the collection point should be set up as close to the kitchen as possible. This saves long walks.
- A central collection point is sufficient. This prevents you from getting confused when separating waste.
Tip 2: Pre-sorting the waste
If the different types of waste are consistently pre-sorted, this makes waste separation much easier. The waste then has to be handled less often.
- When it comes to waste separation, the following also applies: order is half the battle. If everything is first collected and thrown into a container and only separated before disposal, unnecessary effort is created.
- Waste separation containers: Collection is particularly easy with the Müllex waste systems. They are a perfect support in everyday life.
Tip 3: Demand-based waste separation, containers and systems
Whether you choose a simple waste separation system or a more sophisticated version, it should be tailored to the individual volume of waste. If the waste separation containers are too small, they may need to be emptied more often during the day. If they are too large, they will only be partially filled before the next disposal.
Tip 4: Ergonomics and comfort when collecting waste
Waste separation can be so simple and, above all, convenient. An important keyword here is ergonomics. The easier it is to collect, the less rubbish ends up unsorted in the bin. If you only have to bend down once to collect rubbish, you're bending down once too many. That's why your waste collection points, for example in the kitchen, should be at the same height as your work area.
It is extremely practical and convenient if the waste separation system is located directly below the worktop in your main work area. This means that peels, crumbs, etc. can be transported from the worktop into the designated waste separation container with just one swipe. Or you can peel the fruit and vegetables directly above the container.
Tipp 5: Consciously avoid waste
Avoiding waste is not always easy. However, it actively protects the environment and is easy on your wallet at the same time. When shopping, look for products that produce as little waste as possible. Choose refillable products instead of disposable items. Only buy as much as you actually eat or use. This way, less ends up in the trash.
Which waste separation containers are available from Müllex?
As we all know, recycling begins in the kitchen. It is best to separate waste where it is generated. Müllex offers you high-quality waste systems that can be perfectly tailored to individual needs.
The waste separation containers of the Müllex X-LINE
The X-LINE product line is one of Müllex's bestsellers. It reflects decades of experience combined with the most modern materials.
The way people collect recyclable materials and waste is constantly changing. Today, the focus is on well-thought-out systems that make everyday life easier.
The waste separation system is quick and easy to install. It can be removed just as easily if necessary. It makes optimal use of existing storage space. It adapts seamlessly to the different heights, depths and widths of every kitchen installation.
What makes it special is our tool-free and patented ratchet principle. There is no need for laborious determination of the drawer depth, the side wall thickness or the drawer make. The sophisticated technology is suitable for almost every commercially available pull-out drawer with a depth of 400 to 500 millimeters.
This modern waste separation system can accommodate up to seven containers.
BOXX-R: Ideal for kitchen renovation
Are you planning a new kitchen? Are you still using conventional waste bins without a Müllex pull-out system?
Our BOXX-R waste system is not just a specialist for heavy weights. The system is simply attached to the existing front, then the waste system is inserted into the Müllex pull-out. The pull-out floor impresses with a high-quality and quiet roller slide. It can also bear a load of up to 100 kilograms.
There is also a built-in damper. This ensures that the kitchen drawer closes comfortably and gently. With a small push, it glides along the roller drawer guide until the damper gently slows it down and closes it silently.
Thanks to a hinged bag clamp, filling and removing the bags is a simple and clean affair. Bag rolls, kitchen utensils and cleaning rags have a permanent place in the BOXX storage drawer above. Additional containers offer maximum flexibility. Collect coffee capsules, batteries or organic waste cleanly and safely in separate containers.
The specialist for existing drawer slides: ZK BOXX
Upgrade your kitchen with a high-quality waste separation system from Müllex. Even without extensive conversion or renovation work, you can bring a breath of fresh air to waste separation with the ZK BOXX waste system.
The system was specially designed for drawer pull-outs in an existing kitchen. An insert tray is required to ensure the containers are held securely when opening and closing. Made from high-quality and robust material, the Müllex insert tray fixes and holds the various waste separation containers.
The BOXX waste bins each have a hinged crown. This helps to ensure optimal bag tension and makes it easier to replace full waste bags. A storage drawer offers plenty of space to neatly and clearly store utensils such as bag rolls or cleaning rags.
The ZK BOXX waste system can be perfectly tailored to your personal requirements. Easy-care surfaces make cleaning easier.
