Wybone introduces new improved, Strobe Recycling Bin

January 17, 2015

Our Multi-Sensory, talking recycling unit was launched earlier this year and was the first of its type in the recycling industry.

Since then, we’ve been continuing to listen to our customer feedback and make even more improvements to our exclusive design.

The Strobe – which was initially designed for WRAP Cymru – is unlike any other recycling bin on the market.

Offering the user an interactive experience and setting out to improve recycling rates across Wales; it was well received by users and was proven to influence people to recycle more.

The new Deluxe Strobe Mark Two has improved solar panel positioning to maximise the energy collected from the suns rays.

A new sloping lid and south-facing gradient will increase solar exposure and help to power the units’ electronic components.

The unit is simple to maintain and easily accessible, with all electronic components kept in one self-contained, sealed, weather proof unit.

The new design also features Perspex aperture artwork for a smoother finish and to offer a more durable component when compared to the vinyl stickers.
