In the ever-evolving landscape of waste management, efficiency and environmental responsibility are paramount. New to the UK, the Twin Compartment Wheelie Bin System from Craemer stands as a testament to innovative design and practical functionality by facilitating the effective collection of separated waste and recyclables right at the source. This type of waste management has been tried and tested in Scandinavia for many years. Its effectiveness in promoting cleaner and more organised waste streams is well-documented, setting a gold standard for the UK and other nations to follow.

The Twin Compartment Wheeled Bin System was recently demonstrated at Craemer UK's annual joint CIWM & LARAC Midlands conference in Telford, Shropshire. This event, held in conjunction with municipal vehicle suppliers NTM-GB Ltd, showcased the synergy between Craemer Twin Compartment Wheelie Bins and NTM's K-2K split-compartment vehicles.

Designed for chassis with gross vehicle weights of 12 to 18 tonnes, the Kidderminster based company’s K-2K vehicle complements the functionality of Craemer 240L and 360L waste bins perfectly. The delegates to the conference, both public and private waste industry professionals, were impressed by the demonstration of the effective separate collection of a variety of waste streams with nil cross contamination.

Dual Waste Stream Collection

The NTM K-2K truck, paired with Craemer Twin Compartment Wheeled Bins, offers a functional and practical solution for dual waste stream collection. This combination results in cleaner, more manageable waste stream management, and a potential reduction in the number of containers required at customer premises, particularly advantageous in either residential or commercial locations where space is at a premium.

The Craemer system offers flexible configuration options, enabling bins to be set up with either 40/60 or 50/50 compartments. This adaptability ensures suitable segregation of various materials, including card and paper, plastics, metal, glass, and residual waste. The compartments can be clearly defined with colour-coded lid inserts and iconography, making it straightforward for users to identify and separate materials correctly.

State-of-the-Art UK Based Production

Craemer Group's commitment to high quality, durability, innovation and service is reflected in their state-of-the-art production facility in Telford. Each year the facility produces tens of thousands of twin-compartment wheelie bins for the Northern European market in addition to standard two and four wheeled bins for both the UK and for export, ensuring a reliable supply for municipalities and organisations looking to enhance their waste management practices.

As municipalities and private collectors strive for more efficient, sustainable and simpler waste management solutions, the Craemer Twin Compartment Wheelie Bin System stands out as a forward-thinking option. The bin’s proven design, adaptable configurations, and compatibility with advanced collection vehicles represents an ideal opportunity to enhance recycling rates and reduce environmental impact.
