Commercial environments are conscious of the need to recycle and want to provide sophisticated and customised storage solutions that will withstand the demands of the office.

The recently completed Goodman offices in Auckland demonstrate that by using the Hideaway Soft Close range of bins, both recycling and waste management can be easily and smartly catered for.

The coffee machine is always one of the most popular parts of any large office, and in this project a large Nespresso pod coffee machine was installed. With this came a need to manage waste pods in a smart way. A Hideaway SC220D-W with a 20L bucket was mounted at bench height so waste pods can be dropped straight from the machine into the bin, with no bending. At the other end of the kitchen, a Hideaway SC150D-W with a large 50L bucket was used for landfill waste, while a Hideaway SC240D-W with 2 x 40L buckets was used for separating recycling.

The Hideaway Soft Close range is made in New Zealand from high quality components to ensure the units will withstand the challenges posed in a commercial environment. For strength, the framework is made from 1.2mm zinc treated steel which is then powder-coated for durability. High quality German soft close runners are designed to hold upwards of 47kgs and they over-extend to ensure the buckets will come clear of the bench top easily.

With four bucket sizes and five different configurations, there is a Hideaway Soft Close bin for every commercial application.
