Sanitary Bin Applications
TerraCyclic™ Bio Bin – the best solution for all sites needing a way to dispose of sanitary waste.
No matter how many women you have on your staff or visiting your facility, TerraCyclic™ Bio Bin will suit your needs.
They are small enough to fit in even the tiniest toilet facilities, yet tough enough for large, busy sites. And because they use sealed liners that are easily disposed of, no specialist sanitary bin maintenance crews are needed. Onsite cleaners or, if necessary staff members (men and women) can take care of the units themselves. This is particularly helpful for remote or secure sites.

Why are TerraCyclic™ Bio Bins better for the planet?
We have considered the environment in all parts of our system – making TerraCyclic™ Bio Bin the responsible, green choice.
Outer units made to last
Waste and energy use are reduced because the Bio Bin outer units are durable and need replacing less often.
They last longer for several reasons:
-
They are made from tough plastic or a combination of plastic and stainless steel.
-
They don’t need cleaning and are wall-mounted so are less often damaged.
And when they finally reach the end of their lives, they are fully recyclable.
Bin liners biodegradable
Our bin-lining cartridges are made using plastics that are designed to break down better and faster. Once they are put into landfills, they safely degrade and biodegrade within two to three years.
Because they are small, they pack down more easily when they are disposed of.
Special plastics safer for the planet
Our Bio Bins are made using totally degradable plastic additives designed by Environmental Products Inc (EPI).
Conventional plastics break down very slowly – taking decades or even centuries. EPI’s plastic additives, called oxo-biodegradable plastic additives, accelerate this process so that it happens over a couple of years.
The end products of oxo-biodegradation are carbon dioxide, water and biomass. Extensive studies conducted by EPI, with internationally recognised laboratories and institutions, show this process does not leave harmful or toxic residues in the environment.
Less energy to move and maintain
The compact outer cylinders can be transported in halves, and the inner replacement cartridges are light and small, reducing the environmental impact of transportation.
And because the units don’t need cleaning, there is less energy used – reducing emissions. Unlike other systems, no large cleaning trucks or facilities are used.
Deodorisers safely break down
The deodorising granules within the Bio Bin cartridges are made from natural mineral salts, coconut-oil-based, odour-neutralising agents, odour absorbers and fragrant oils. They are readily biodegradable, leaving no environmentally damaging residues.
