Recycling Made Easier Thanks to Royal Wolf

The Project

Royal Wolf delivered durable, self-supporting modified containers for Return-It’s bottle and can recycling depots, incorporating innovative features to support functionality and scalability across multiple sites.

Summary

Royal Wolf designed and delivered containers that streamline recycling operations, featuring tilting side shoots for easy product intake, a front-facing iPad interface for public engagement, and solar panels to power the technology without mains connection. Completed in eight weeks, the solution provides a functional, scalable system that can be replicated across Return-It’s depots nationwide.

Challenge

Return-It needed a containerised solution that was both functional and durable, capable of supporting user engagement, handling high volumes of recyclable materials, and being easily replicated across multiple depots while eliminating dependence on mains power.

Solution

After consulting with the client, we delivered modified containers that would tick every box.

Our modification experts came up with a solution that is fit for purpose, with features including:

Tilting side shoots that receive product seamlessly for recycling
A front-facing iPad touchpoint, with which the general public can engage during their recycling efforts
Solar panels to power the iPad, which eliminate the need for mains power connection

Outcome

In the future, the solution has the potential to be replicated for other Return-It depots. There are currently more than 100 sites in Queensland, as well as sites in Western Australia and the Australian Capital Territory.

The project took approximately eight weeks to complete, from briefing to the finished product.
