What does a well-thought waste system look like?

Published on December 14, 2021 from Müllex Redaktion

A waste system must be one thing above all: sensible on all levels. Different containers for daily household waste are just as essential as their stability and ease of cleaning. Every household has different needs and requirements.

Waste disposal in Switzerland is very well organized and regulated. In the interests of sustainability and environmental protection, a robust and well thought-out system has been established within a short space of time. While in the 1970s all garbage ended up in one bin, this is unthinkable today.

There are several reasons for this:

Garbage has been recognized as a valuable resource. The recyclability of many materials is now being put to good use in the Swiss waste system.
The volume of waste has increased with the increasing population and must be disposed of sensibly. One waste bin for all types of waste simply no longer works. Müllex recognized this early on and played a key role in developing today's standards for waste systems.
Organic waste has always been recycled in agriculture. However, organic kitchen and garden waste must also be cleanly separated from garbage in urban areas. Organic waste follows its own recycling cycle.
The main focus is on avoiding waste. If it cannot be avoided, proper separation is the starting point for sensible recycling. With Müllex waste systems, separating waste becomes a daily matter.

What are the important criteria for a waste system in the kitchen?

Whether you are building a new house or renovating, a waste system makes everyday life much easier. It may not be one of the most exciting things to consider when planning a house. Who wouldn't rather choose a comfortable couch or a great bed? A waste system is definitely one of the things that will make everyday life much easier later on.

A lot of rubbish accumulates in the kitchen, which is often the centre and heart of the house or apartment. If this can be disposed of quickly and sensibly, there is time for the finer things in life.

Criteria for a high-quality waste system at home

The following aspects should be taken into account in a practical system for domestic waste separation:

Sensible arrangement of the different containers: With the new X-LINE product line from Müllex, up to seven containers are available that can be individually configured. The waste system is not only cleverly thought out, but also won the Red Dot Design Award 2021.
Stable materials: Sharp glass and can edges, broken glass or pointed aluminum lids can quickly become dangerous for inferior materials. It is annoying when the trash can has scratches and cracks after a short time. Müllex attaches great importance to using extremely stable plastic materials. This is not least in the interests of sustainability, because the trash cans withstand all demands year after year.
Easy to clean: The spilled yogurt pot, the soft organic waste, the last drop of wine in the bottle: dirty trash cans are no fun. It is all the better when cleaning is easy.
Space for accessories: A well-thought-out waste system offers plenty of space for sponges, dishwasher tablets, fee bags and other items.
Variable and easy to add to: Requirements change. And the waste system simply changes with it. Adding to, changing, installing and converting waste systems – this is easily possible with our top sellers X-LINE, BOXX-R and ZK BOXX.
Easy installation: Install the waste system in an existing revolving door? Use a drawer pull-out perfectly for the waste system? Simply hang fee bags in the bag clamps? No problem with our carefully thought-out waste systems!

How do I find the right waste system for my kitchen?

Customer-friendly and service-oriented – this is how our products present themselves for absolute user-friendliness. With our product configurator, the optimal waste system can be put together very easily.

The starting point for planning is the existing space. Are there already drawers or hinged doors? Is the kitchen being completely redesigned? What are the requirements and needs? For example, if there is a compost heap in the garden, a container for organic waste is not necessarily required. The POT compost container for transporting it to the garden is a useful addition here.

Our extensive dealer network is established throughout Switzerland. Our customers benefit from professional advice and support in all planning processes.

How can a waste system be subsequently integrated into a renovation?

With the BOXX-R waste system, nothing can go wrong during renovations. The special pull-out from Müllex is suitable for every kitchen. The existing front is used to attach the pull-out, and the high-quality waste system does the rest almost by itself. The advantages:

tested up to 100 kilograms weight
foldable bag clamping crown for optimal filling of the bags
high-quality roller guide
additional containers can be used variably

Our ZK-BOXX waste system is suitable for existing drawer pulls from Grass, Blum and Hettich.

In which rooms does a waste system still make sense?

Your own home is invaluable. It is the hub for family, friends and acquaintances. Well thought-out comfort is a pleasant advantage of your own four walls. Therefore, waste systems at strategic points are more than sensible. Garden shed, garage, stable, storage room - wherever waste is generated, a collection system is beneficial.

And where there is no space or need for a complete waste system, a free-standing trash can is often needed. This makes it easy to collect recyclables or dispose of garbage.

What additions are there to a high-quality waste system?

Of course, organic waste and recyclable materials can be disposed of perfectly in Müllex's waste systems. The flexibility of the systems allows the various containers within the system to be used perfectly. And yet: recyclable materials take up a lot of space and have to be brought to the collection point.

Our BigBag is perfect for this. It is an extremely flexible waste container that we have specially designed for the following applications:

Collection and transport of recyclable materials
Collecting leaves in the garden
Container for laundry
Container for toys
Practical addition to holiday luggage

The BigBag has almost endless uses and is an absolutely practical helper in active everyday life. The BigBag's uses and advantages are diverse. Its stability and excellent workmanship can withstand the highest loads. Once integrated into the household, the BigBag is an indispensable part of everyday life.

Our POT organic waste container, BOXX autonomous as a free-standing waste bin, the BigBag and much more await you in our online shop.
