DESIGN NAME: Big bin
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Overground Container
INSPIRATION: The fact that our cities are increasingly overcrowed and complex where waste managment plays an increasingly important role.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Big.Bin is a container designed to help humanize the
city. Its clean shapes approach it to the domestic sphere, seeking
greater empathy with the user.
Its gentle and rounded forms create an organic volume easy to
integrate in any environment, making it perfect for city centres,
parks or residential areas.
Big.Bin’s container island will create an accessible and clearly
identified space for waste collection in the city, encouraging
selective collection among citizens.

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The container BigBin belongs to the family of overground containers for urban waste collection. It has a large capacity, rated at 3200 liters for collection by side loading garbage trucks, operated by a single operator.
This is a complete novelty in the sector since it incorporates a dual compound resistant belt and a simple body, which allows to combine design, robustness and functionality.
Throughout the design process we have sought a friendly aesthetic close to the household goods, which seeks to generate empathy among users, promoting their proper use and positive values moving to locations where they are.
We use design as a main tool for designing products with a unique personality by integrating form and function to extol the value of the product itself, promoting its good use, generating responsible attitudes towards the environment, optimizing resources and enhancement.
The manufacturing material is predominantly polyethylene, which is formed by a rotational molding process. This system, hygienic characteristics, and durability of polyethylene silence, adds the absence of residual stresses, providing a container with great shock-absorbing capability even at low temperatures.
The rotational molding process and the high quality aluminum mold along with the DSB resistant belt (without metal), provide a container without the usual ribs injection containers, or the rotomolding undulations existed so far. A new standard.
In the rotomolding process and belt body are used high quality aluminum molds, these molds guaranteed a better finish in the rotomoulded furnitur. It is also applied Teflon which improves the final look of the piece.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Width 1508mm x Depth 1750mm x Height 1700mm. Volume-2900mm
The Big Bin container is designed and manufactured according to the following rules:
• UNE-EN European Standard 12574-1/2/3.- side loading container
• EC Declaration according to 2000/14/EC directive on noise
Since 2007 our company is ISO9001 certified in ISO14001 and EMAS (Registration No. ES-GA - 000,136) by TÜV Rheinland Ibérica Inspection, Certification & Testing, Inc.
