2AS containers in HDPE in Taranto
Taranto continues its path of technological and sustainable innovation in waste collection with the adoption of intelligent containers in recycled HDPE combined with the 2AS System collection system already in use by the municipality. Last week the positioning of the first 2AS HDPE containers for separate collection began in the city of Taranto. The Municipality, which already uses ESA's bilateral lifting equipment 2AS System , has decided to embrace the complete collection system, choosing the combined containers in recycled HDPE, thus opting for the best performance and maximum operational safety given by the adoption of the whole system. The containers made by ESA on behalf of Kyma Ambiente , the urban hygiene company owned by the Municipality, follow the subdivision of the fractions for Taranto: yellow for multi-material (paper, cardboard, plastic and metal), green for glass, brown for organic waste and gray for unsorted waste. Composed of 40% recycled material and fully recyclable at the end of their life cycle, the 2AS HDPE containers are equipped with electronics for user recognition and intelligent telemetry systems that alert the collection company if the container is full and needs to be emptied, making it possible to better plan waste logistics. The sustainability of the solution adopted passes both from the container itself, which promotes a lower turnover through the longevity and resistance of the construction materials, but also from the energy self-sufficiency of the electronics and sensors, which are recharged through the photovoltaic panel positioned below the loading point. The benefits of adopting the 2AS System are innumerable: reduction of atmospheric emissions, thanks to the possibility of planning the passage of collection vehicles and the speed of the operating cycle, of only 65"; reduction of noise pollution, especially during the conferment of glass; particular resistance to salt spray - not negligible benefit in a seaside area; unlike metal, in fact, salt does not corrode HDPE, making it suitable for the seaside; improvement of the urban decor, thanks to the resistance of the rotomoulded HDPE (which allows the container to maintain its original shape even in the event of accidental impacts and collisions) and to the texture of the coating, which prevents spray paints and adhesives from attacking the surface. The city, which was the first in Southern Italy to experiment with eco-friendly waste collection systems during markets and events, with the adoption of the solar-powered compactor KSolar by ESA, continues to innovate and invest in the improvement of separate collection, being mindful of both the environment and citizens. «This environmentally friendly supply - comments the President of Kyma Ambiente Giampiero Mancarelli - serves as a further stimulus to commit everyone to correct separate waste collection. We are talking about a real revolution that must change everyone's habits. It is precisely for this reason that collective collaboration is fundamental, only in this way can our Taranto be able to keep up with other Italian cities». Giorgia Iasoni, Vice President of ESA, declares herself «proud of this choice made by Kyma Ambiente and the Municipality of Taranto. The quality of the recycled material used for the production is such that it also goes well with the climate of the city, characterized by the sea, salty air and sun. Therefore, it is more durable than traditional metal containers. We are convinced that citizens will appreciate these new containers and will be used to the fullest ». https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsJhsO9xXCE
After two years of forced stop, ESA returns to Ecomondo and presents an awaited novelty for waste collection. The 24th edition of Ecomondo, the reference event in Europe for technological innovation and green economy, which is back in presence after almost two years of pandemic, has just ended in Rimini. ESA, for the occasion, exhibited the complete 2AS System to the numerous professionals of the sector, showing the conspicuous research and development work carried out in recent years, and presented a particularly awaited novelty: the MULTI-MUSHROOM CLAMP , capable of lifting all containers on the market, above-ground and underground, equipped with Kinshofer hook and now also F90. The new clamp, designed to operate with extreme speed and precision, finally frees Customers to choose vehicles and containers without obligations or ties. 2AS, the automatic and single-operator equipment for bilateral waste collection, thus confirms itself as the system with the most complete range on the market, which can be combined with the well-established smart containers in recycled HDPE, in the Standard and Slim versions, and the new underground containers for areas of architectural prestige, all customizable with the hook at the discretion of the Customer. The equipment, compatible with all methane, hybrid and electric powered trucks, is the GREEN and INTERCONNECTED solution for Smart Cities ; integrable with all waste logistics technologies, it contributes to the reduction of emissions into the atmosphere thanks to the management software that defines the best path, avoiding unnecessary emptying. To complete the solutions for waste logistics, the K-Solar roll-off compactor with controlled access, particularly suitable for urban separate collection during events or utility peaks, self-powered by the photovoltaic panels on the roof. Collaboration with Gruppo Hera was at the center of ESA's participation in the event, thanks to the display at the main entrance of a Group's vehicle, set up with the robotic system, used by the municipal company in the historic center of Rimini, and a customized nozzle of a 2AS underground in the Uniflotte stand, already present in various locations in the city. Learn more about the underground systems in Rimini HERE . This edition of Ecomondo was not only an opportunity to meet consolidated Customers and partners in presence and to establish future collaborations, but also an important moment of sharing and unity for all of us at ESA. ESA wholeheartedly would like to thank each of the numerous visitors who came to the stand to try our solutions.
2AS System underground containers in Rimini
Rimini begins separate waste collection with the Underground Waste Collection Systems by ESA . A project strongly desired by the Municipality and Hera , which sees the 2AS System computerized underground containers as protagonists. The Councilor for the Environment, Anna Montini, and the Head of Hera Environmental Services Rimini, Fausto Pecci The first 4 of the 14 stations planned throughout the city were inaugurated on 28 July. The ceremony, which took place on the undergrounds of via Bastioni Occidentali, was attended by the Assessor for the Environment Anna Montini, the Head of Hera Rimini Area Fausto Pecci, the CEO of Heratech Antonio Dondi and the Head of the Press Office Monica Guidi, in addition to the Superintendence of Archaeology, Fine Arts and Landscapes. A choice of decorum, environmental sustainability and innovation, the one undertaken by the municipal council, to re-evaluate the historic center. "The redevelopment of urban spaces and the efficiency of waste logistics are key points for citizens - said the Councilor". The initiative, aimed at strengthening the current separate waste collection systems, involves 5,000 users and involves the construction of 14 2AS undergrounds that will allow the collection of all fractions through controlled access with card or smartphone and a better organization of urban spaces through the reduction of the number of above-ground containers, the timing and the passage of collection vehicles, with a consequent reduction in pollution. To promote hygiene, waste flows under the road surface, preventing odors and liquid residues from escaping. The undergrounds allow to accommodate 3500L of glass and organic waste, and 5000L of the remaining fractions. "We have decreased the aesthetic impact but increased the available volume" - commented Pecci. The undergrounds, in the visible part, consist of corten-effect turrets, agreed with the Superintendency of Archaeology, Fine Arts and Landscapes. At the base an engraving of Tonino Guerra's butterflies, a symbol of beauty, decorum and culture. Above, the short-stroke Kinshofer hook, which allows the 2AS robot to hook and empty in just 105”. Through the 2AS System underground containers, Rimini intends to develop a sustainable and smart collection system, improving the perception of environmental and architectural quality. With the gradual elimination of old containers and the insertion of new undergrounds, the aesthetics of the historic center will be enhanced, especially near historical-monumental elements. 2AS System Underground with access control system
