7 methods that increase the sorting rate in your property

Sorting rates are determined by design – not by information

The properties that succeed best have made it easy to do the right thing. Here are seven measures with a clear effect.

1. Short walking distances. Place bin cabinets near the entrances, maximum 30–50 meters from the gate.
2. Clear color and image labeling. Symbols beat text, especially in multilingual properties.
3. Lighting. Dark recycling rooms are used less and have more sorting errors.
4. Right bin size. Overfilled bins create mis-sorting in the neighboring fraction.
5. Light hatches and threshold-free passage. Accessibility increases usage for everyone.
6. Clean and odor-free environment. Washable composite surfaces make cleaning easy.
7. Follow-up. Measure the residual waste weight before and after – and report the result back to the residents.

Design affects acceptance

An aesthetically pleasing solution that matches the facade encounters less resistance. Feel free to combine with privacy screens and outdoor furniture in the same color.
