NEW LARGE TARGET
OPENING BIN FOR EASY
WASTE PLACEMENT
Leafield Environmental, a leading
manufacturer and designer of recycling
and litter bins have a new large target
opening bin for easy waste placement
coming soon. The Envirobank Catch
180-litre litter bin has been designed to
collect waste at high footfall areas such
as fast-food outlets, shopping centres
and service stations.
The new Envirobank Catch bin will
house a 180-litre plastic sack as standard with a side opening door reducing
the risk of injury by manual handling, while simplifying and speeding up the
emptying process. The large target opening, and aperture allows waste to be
collected on-the-go more easily.
It has an easy to clean surface and features a curved and stepped top base to
prevent litter being placed on the top of the bin or climbing. The door and body
are manufactured with a double skin strength for added durability all-year round.
The li© and drop vertical locking door with 5-point locking has been designed for
ease of emptying featuring a corrosion free lock keyed opening and finger push
locking. The back of the bin features an anti-fly poster surface. It has a ground
fixing area on the base of the unit for added stability which features moulded
through holes for secure fixing.
Dimensions: H:1497, W:690, D:797mm
Target Aperture: H:539, W:625mm
Waste Aperture: H:312, W:454mm.

with the fitting available in Chrome and Black Onyx
versions.
Despite delivering an optimum volume of soap
with every wash for improved hygiene, Intellimix
actually reduces the overall amount of soap and water
typically used in washrooms with traditional fittings,
minimising waste and generating cost savings of up to
80 per cent on soap and 85 per cent on water.
It was this revolutionary take on handwashing and
the product’s innovative design features that led the
independent panel of judges at both awards to grant
Intellimix the prestigious accolades.
The Red Dot Award is one of the world's largest
design competitions. Since its inception in 1955,
the sought-a© er distinction Red Dot’ has been the
revered international seal of outstanding design
quality. Meanwhile, the iF DESIGN AWARD has been
recognised as an arbiter of quality for exceptional
design for 67 years and is one of the most important
design prizes in the world.
Bert Depiere, Vice President of Fittings at Ideal
Standard, said: “We are delighted that Intellimix has
been recognised by awarding bodies so revered in
the design community. For years, these awards have
shone a light on the very best in design and we’re
proud to be amongst their recipients this year. Now,
more than ever, shared spaces need to be designed
to protect users' health and wellbeing. Winning these
awards is a clear acknowledgement that Intellimix
represents an important step forward when it comes
to raising hygiene standards in public washrooms,
while of course improving sustainability and enriching
the handwashing experience for end users.”
