    Case: Bin enclosure project in Kalmar

    A housing cooperative with 45 apartments needed to solve its waste challenges before 2027.

    The Challenge

    Limited space (only 30 sqm available), aesthetic requirements from residents, budget of max 200,000 SEK, existing provisional solutions performed poorly.

    The Solution

    3 Saltvik bin enclosures strategically placed: 2 at the main entrance, 1 at the backyard. A total of 7 fractions, weather protection, and aesthetic design matching the facade.

    Result

    80% sorting rate (up from 45%), satisfied residents (survey 4.2/5), met legal requirements, reduced waste management costs by 15%.

    Cost

    Total investment: 180,000 SEK incl. installation. ROI: Approx. 8 years based on savings.

    Lessons learned

    Early planning and resident dialogue are key. Aesthetics affect acceptance. Good labeling significantly increases sorting.
