Property Managers and Owners
Of particular interest to this sector will be the significant savings that can be achieved in the control of resources, direction of users and waste contractors costs, that contribute to the 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.
Waste Haulage Transportation (In the order of 94% reduction)
The number of transport trips required to the off-site municipal waste facility are greatly reduced.
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.
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.

Cleaner and More ‘User Friendly’ Waste Rooms
The waste areas with ‘Epac Installations’ are more cleaner and clearly more hygienic than other areas with traditional equipment of wheelie bins etc.
This allows for greater participation by the polluter 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.
Labour Saving (In the order of 92%)
This substantial labour saving is possible because of the great reduction in transport of un-compacted waste around the complex itself.
Data Analytics
The Epac machine can be fitted with various sensors which can be used to collect data to create a number of different reports. For example, the user’s waste weight, time of operation, user identity, weight of the Gcube to name but a few.
Endless Capacity
By this we mean that the system has the ability to be continually used once storage space for the Gcubes is available. For example, with a wheelie bin, portable compactor, or skip, these vessels have to be emptied before they can be reused. The Epac system can be continually re-used once the Gcube is changed. This feature is particularly valuable because waste can be stored cleanly & safely until the waste contractor can schedule a visit.
The feature also implies ‘ready to use’ at all times, rather than have to wait for the wheelie-bin or portable compactor to be emptied.
In addition, this feature is particularly valuable and will eliminate the disruption caused during inclement weather such as snowfall, fog or frost, where a contractor is not able to call to collect, and the wheelie bins and waste rooms are overflowing due to this weather stoppage.
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).
Also available is a non-touch opening system & automatic disinfection system.
