Ecopod

It seems the whole world is going enviro-mental at the moment. With calls to switch off this and recycle that.

Its for the greater good obviously but isn’t it time it got a little easier.
With a foundation in design via sustainability, BMW Designworks has created the BMW X5 and Z4. Both cars are at the forefront of not only leading edge design, but also in regard to their ability to be easily disassembled and recycled at the end of their useful life. This combination of design excellence using sustainable practices is why ecopod partnered with BMW Designworks to create ecopod’s first recycling system.

ecopod™ – New Concept in Home & Office Recycling

* Recycling in the home & office has never been so easy.
* ecopod™ crushes plastic (PET) bottles, steel & aluminium beverage containers (up to 24 fl. oz.) vending cups and stores up to sixty in an internal plastic pod which slides out for easy transfer to a kerbside recycling bin.
* Manually operated by a foot pedal, the crushing mechanism includes a child-safety feature.
* There are two additional storage pods under the lid for newspapers, large glass bottles & plastic bags - ready for recycling.
* Built of brushed stainless steel and plastic, the ecopod™ is neatly designed to be unobtrusive in the kitchen or an office refreshment area.
* Dimensions – 645 x 515 x 860 (16″ x 20 1/2″ x 31″ approx). Weight 24.2Kgs.
* Available in white or black both with stainless steel side panels; an all stainless steel version coming soon.
