Take your home or office waste bins to the next level with Hideaway colour coded liner holders. This simple yet effective upgrade can have a bigger impact than you think. Read on to see the benefits of colour coding your waste bin and know how to choose the correct liner holders to suit your Hideaway Bins.

Say goodbye to confusion and hello to simplicity!

Recycling can be confusing, especially if you are unsure which bin to put your rubbish or recycling into. Colour-coded bins offer a visual cue that simplifies the process of waste separation. By assigning different colours to each type of waste or recycling, such as paper, glass, and food, you can easily identify the right bin for each item.

Increase participation and awareness

Whether in the home or the office environment, colour-coded recycling bins serve as educational tools that promote awareness about the importance of recycling and waste reduction. The visible differentiation of bins helps everyone, even children, understand the significance of separating waste and the positive impact it can have on the environment. This increased awareness leads to improved participation and commitment to sustainable practices.

Reduced contamination and improved recycling rates

One of the most significant advantages of colour-coded bins is the reduction of contamination in recyclable materials. When materials are placed in the wrong bin – for instance, food going into a paper recycling bin – then the material becomes contaminated. This adds more work downstream in sorting or may mean that those materials cannot be recycled at all. Colour coded bins help by separating waste at the source and reducing contamination. This, in turn, leads to improved recycling rates and a more efficient use of resources.
