Description

GreenBig has now successfully installed 100 B:bot units in France. B:bot is a solution of less than one square meter dedicated to the collection and sorting of PET bottles. The technology was also selected as one of the 127 new technologies to participate in the Made in France event for green startups at the Elysee with a B:bot device installed for the event itself. The president of France, Emmanuel Macron, is pictured above making use of the Labeled Solution. The goal of B:bot is to encourage people to recycle more and target a major problem in France as only 55% of plastic bottles are recycled.

Impact & Result

B:bot is capable of recycling an impressive 3,000 bottles within a space of less than one square meter. This compact design maximizes efficiency, making it an ideal solution for areas where space is limited while still delivering high recycling capacity.

Solution Spotlight

GreenBig offers its solution dedicated to the collection and sorting of PET bottles. B:bot is a device of less than one square meter (0.88m2) that can hold a total of about 3000 shredded plastic bottles. Consisting of 5 rotating bins, it can collect 30 waste per minute, allowing the user to bring back a large stock of bottles. Shredding plastic bottles at source makes it easier to store the raw material, as well as facilitating transport and logistics. The resale of the material to the beverage industry makes the business model virtuous, combining ecology and economy.
