Less Collection Vehicles

With the Sotkon Koncept underground system you can use the same collection vehicles you already have. Our solution has patented features and provides a 3m3 closed bottom container that can be collected by normal rear loading trucks, just by installing a light crane on top of the box. This means that underground garbage containers can be installed, tripling collection capacity, without additional investment in new vehicles. Shorter routes mean fewer resources and lower maintenance costs, but also an active contribution to protecting the environment by increasing recycling rates and reducing CO2 emissions and the environmental footprint. It is also possible to optionally avoid unnecessary trips and increase collection efficiency by controlling the fill levels of the underground containers.

Less Personnel

With the Koncept system, the waste collection operation can be done in three minutes by just one operator - the vehicle driver. The collection operation is fast, safe, efficient and can be further optimized by the installation of an automatic hook, where the crane automatically picks up the underground container and moves it to the unloading area.

Less Maintenance

The simplicity of the Sotkon Koncept solution combines the advantages of underground bin systems with much lower maintenance costs. Only periodic cleaning, hygienization and lubrication of the lock is required to maintain our equipment. This means fewer resources in both equipment and personnel.

Fast Payback

Our equipment offers the best return on investment (ROI) rate in the market. Compared to other collection systems, the Sotkon system proves to be more efficient, even when compared to other underground systems. Studies show that Sotkon Koncept can reduce the operating costs of municipal waste collection by up to 30% by reducing collection frequencies, the number of personnel, the number of vehicles, fuel consumption and the maintenance required. This data is supported by information provided by local entities with long operational experience of using our system.

Perfect Urban Integration

One of the advantages of the Koncept system is that it can be easily integrated into urban surroundings, improving the aesthetics and cleanliness of the city where it is inserted. We think of each project according to the needs of each customer! We offer a wide range of intake columns, which can be adapted to the specific needs of the city - and the finishing on the pedestrian platform can be customized according to the nature or style of the surrounding area - or the taste of the customer. This allows Sotkon equipment to be easily integrated into all urban areas, especially in locations of high pedestrian traffic, such as historic or tourist areas.

Separation at the Source

Separation at the source is proven to be the most cost-effective method for managing recyclable waste. Sotkon’s equipment encourages best environmental practices and fosters separation, thus contributing to increased waste recycling levels. We put sustainability first. We are helped by the attractive design and ease of use of our intake columns, which encourage the public to use the equipment correctly and can optionally be enhanced with access controls for PAYT systems, which further increase waste separation rates. Get to know some of our designs here!

PAYT Ready

Sotkon has developed equipment that enables the "pay-as-you-throw" or PAYT principle for a fairer waste management taxation, raising awareness about waste production and contributing to more responsible waste disposal practices. Using our intake columns with the PAYT system, our clients can manage their users and know about their deposits, thus obtaining essential information for the application of a fairer taxation system. Did you already know the PAYT principle? We have all the information!
