Reims, France - CitySolar and CityPack as part of a historic urban environment

In Reims, the capital of the Champagne region of France, modern waste management has been integrated into the historical cityscape with Lehtovuori's CitySolar and CityPack waste bins. At the site, the smart waste bins have been adapted to the environment by choosing a discreet color scheme that blends in with the urban landscape.

CitySolar is a solar-powered smart waste bin that compacts waste, thus enabling a significantly larger collection capacity compared to a conventional waste bin. The solution is particularly suitable for busy urban environments where the aim is to reduce bin fullness and the need for emptying.

Alongside the CitySolar, the site also features the CityPack, which follows the same consistent design but operates without a compacting mechanism. In Reims, the CityPack has been introduced for glass collection, allowing different types of waste to be collected in the same area with a visually cohesive setup.

The site demonstrates well how modern smart waste bins and sorting solutions can be integrated even into valuable historical environments. With the right material and color choices, modern waste management can be a functional part of the cityscape without drawing attention away from the surrounding architecture.
