Leafield Environmental, manufacturer and designer of recycling bins, has launched a new 310-litre Envirobank recycling bin as of March this year.

The recycling bin is set to respond to the ongoing demand to recycle larger volumes of waste in highly populated areas such as green spaces, high-streets and coastal environments.

The new Envirobank 310-litre unit is the latest new addition to the Envirobank collection and has been designed in collaboration with Cardiff University.

The 310- litre unit features a dual aperture to collect different recyclables in its two 155-litre wheeled bins. The slam-door front opening design allows the waste to be emptied without any lifting.

The units can collect plastic bottles, aluminium cans, paper cups, paper and mixed recyclables.

The bins measure 1419mm in height, 741mm in width and 871mm in depth. They are clearly labelled with WRAP-compliant colour-coded labels to avoid contamination.

The units are durable, with an enhanced double wall structure and anti-fly dimpled surface to withstand all weather conditions. An optional A3 poster frame is available upon request.

The Envirobank range can be manufactured with an antimicrobial protection to inhibit the growth of microbes by up to 99,9%*.

The standard unit colour (black) is made from 100 per cent recycled material (subject to availability), and bespoke colours and personalisation of labels are available upon request.

The Envirobank range is available in four different sizes, including a 140-litre unit, 180-litre unit (spilt), 240-litre unit and the new 310-litre unit. All of the units are available to collect a variety of waste streams.

The Envirobank bins are part of many national ‘recycling on-the-go’ schemes including the #LeedsByExample and #InTheLoop Edinburgh coffee cup recycling initiatives.
