Sustainability is a central component of SSI SCHAEFER Plastics' corporate strategy. As one of the leading manufacturers of Sustainable waste garbage cans the company relies on resource-saving production methods, innovative material concepts and durable products as well as smart solutions and the digital organization platform DISPONDO.
Sustainable materials and resource-saving production with a low CO2 footprint
A decisive factor for the sustainability strategy of SSI SCHAEFER Plastics is the reduction of the CO2 footprint through the use of recycled materials. The sustainable waste garbage cans PRO Wave consists of a high proportion of recycled materials, which saves considerable amounts of crude oil and reduces CO2 emissions.

For the production of 1,408 PRO Wave 240 L or 1,000 standard 240 L waste garbage cans become 10 tons of materialwhether virgin or recycled compound. New material consists of around 20,000 liters of crude oil and uses the following in production 227.15 tons of CO₂ free. In contrast, the use of recycled compound can release precisely this amount of Crude oil and CO₂ saved are recycled. These figures show how effectively recycling contributes to the conservation of valuable resources and how companies can improve their environmental footprint through sustainable material cycles.

The CO₂ balance of the PRO Wave 240 L container shows how sustainably plastic containers can be designed. Compared to the standard 240-liter container made from virgin material, the PRO Wave 240 L made from virgin material saves 28 % CO₂ one. The recycled compound version is even more environmentally friendly, reducing CO₂ emissions by 49 % This corresponds to a reduction of just under 10,000 kg CO₂ per 1,000 containers.
Sustainable waste garbage cans with a long service life and smart technologies
SSI SCHAEFER Plastics relies on a future-oriented product strategy that focuses on durable and robust waste garbage cans. Their high resistance ensures a long service life and reduces the need for replacement production - a clear advantage for the careful use of resources.
Another aspect is the integration of modern technologies into the containers. With the help of RFID chips and QR codes these can be uniquely identified and efficiently DISPONDO container management software manage. This optimizes logistics and improves the targeted use of resources.
Optimized route planning in particular contributes to efficiency: Thanks to the Digital recording of the containers waste disposal companies can create customized routes that are assigned directly to vehicles and employees - for a smooth and resource-saving process.

Sustainable solutions with a big impact
By combining recycled materials, durable products and digital technologies, SSI SCHAEFER Plastics makes a valuable contribution to conserving resources and reducing CO2 emissions. The continuous optimization of production processes and the use of innovative technologies make the company a pioneer in the field of Sustainable waste garbage can.
