Colmar, France – EkoCity Flow sorting bins
In Colmar, France, EkoCity Flow sorting bins serve cemetery visitors. The bins placed side by side form a clear sorting point, where flowers and plant waste are collected separately from plastic and other waste. The dark grey color suits the peaceful environment, and the green front of the bin intended for green waste helps identify the correct collection point.
The large, illustrated sorting instructions on the bins are designed for everyday cemetery use. They guide users to separate, for example, withered flowers and leaves from plastic pots, flower wrappings, and artificial flowers. This makes sorting a natural part of grave maintenance.
EkoCity Flow – a familiar product range, a different way of use
The main difference between EkoCity Flow and traditional EkoCity is the way waste is deposited. The basic model has a foot-pedal-operated hatch, while in Flow, waste is dropped directly into an open throwing opening located on the side of the bin. It can be used without pressing the pedal or opening the hatch, making waste disposal effortless even when your hands are full.
Made in Finland, EkoCity Flow offers a durable structure made of powder-coated galvanized steel and stainless steel. The bin can be used individually or combined with several bins to create a sorting point. The colors of the body and the throwing opening can be selected separately, and different throwing openings are available for different waste streams.
At the Colmar site, the color scheme and the signs tailored to the site make sorting part of the environment. The result is a cohesive collection point that helps visitors maintain the tidiness of the cemetery.
