The wall-mounted recycling bin developed by LIPOR completes one year on the Portuguese market this September. Launched in 2023, the product embodies LIPOR's position regarding the reintroduction of waste as a resource in the value chain. Produced from plastics from end-of-life garden tables and chairs, Wallie has 89% recycled material in its composition and is an alternative to using a plastic that still has few recycling solutions.
Practical and functional, Wallie can be fixed to the wall without the need to drill holes, which also makes cleaning easier. Designed using eco-design principles, Wallie has a flat shape that has reduced the volume of the packaging by 40%, reducing its carbon footprint. These attributes have been recognized internationally by the FAMAE award.
Another of the product's outstanding features is the possibility of personalization, which allows Wallie to be combined with the decor of any room. In this way, you can create a recycling point in unusual places, without sacrificing aesthetics or even sophistication. In just one year on the market, Wallie has already become an important product in the sector and its promotion has been supported by leading waste management institutions such as Novo Verde, Sociedade Ponto Verde and Electrão.
In addition to the domestic market, hoteliers have also recognized the advantages of adopting the Wallie wall-mounted recycling bin, which is already in use in units of the Pestana and Mercure chains. The local accommodation establishment Casas do Porto has also adopted its use with very good results.
Wallie can be purchased online at www.padimat.pt and in physical stores. All retailers can be identified on the product's website: www.wallie.com.pt. Wallie is an innovative project that reflects LIPOR's concern to promote a lifestyle that contributes to the sustainability of the planet. It is therefore a product that embodies the LIPOR lifestyle.
