Architects and Property Developers
Of particular interest to this sector will be the significant savings that can be achieved in the design, construction and development costs that contribute to waste management of the complex.
Benefits
Space Saving (In the order of 80% reduction)
Both the Epac equipment footprint and the waste collection room and storage area are greatly reduced.
The need for double height portable compactor rooms is eliminated.
A dedicated small waste room will eliminate the use of car parking spaces to store multiple wheelie bins. The Epac machine already has a very small footprint, approximately one 1,100L wheelie-bin long, however where space is a constraint, there is an additional option to reduce its length further.
Compaction Directly at the Source of Collection
As a result of the small size of the Epac equipment it can be located closer to the source of waste generation. This reduces the amount of ‘internal transportation of waste’ around the building or site and increases the local volume available for the temporary storage of waste.
Operational Cost Savings (In the order of 43% reduction)
Traditional stationery equipment generally utilises 3 phase electrical power, the Epac equipment uses only readily available single phase domestic power.
Cleaner and More ‘User Friendly’ Waste Rooms
The waste areas with ‘Epac Installations’ are clearly cleaner and more hygienic than other areas with traditional equipment such as wheelie bins etc.
This allows for greater participation by the user to segregate waste and recycling, promoting healthier habits and an altogether cleaner pest free environment.
Waste odours are better contained within the Gcube (storage bag), thus reducing smells.
Carbon Footprint Saving (In the order of 84%)
Direct comparison studies between a ‘traditional system of wheelie bins and portable compactors’, and the Epac Waste System (EWS), have shown that there are definite ecological savings with regard to equipment manufacture, its operational use, and the method of transporting waste. Energy and environmental pollution savings are evident.
The Epac machine already has a very small footprint, approximately one 1,100L wheelie-bin long, however where space is a constraint, there is an additional option to reduce its length further.
The above benefits are a snap shot of some of the gains that can be made, relevant to your sector, by utilising the Epac Waste System (EWS). We can also add Data Analytics to the system for the recording of waste and recycling volumes in real-time.
