Showing that three into one does go

At the request of major customers, Leafield Environmental has launched a triple lid option for its Meridian Envirobin.

The concept for the recycling bin came from a collaboration between the company and the University of Greenwich. The Meridian 110L Envirobin was first designed to have a 70/30 split lid with the larger aperture being for mixed recyclable waste.

The brief also required a slim bin with a flat back that could be placed against a wall in corridors. For situations where space is even more restricted, the need for three separate receptacles within the same bin became evident.

The part lids lock together and are WRAP colour compliant. Each waste stream is identified by labelling and clear graphics on an integral poster.

Three waste bags fit neatly into the bin, each secured with a wire sack holder.
