1. Why Recycle at your Premises Recycling has been formally defined in the National Waste Management Strategy document as “…the separation at source of recyclable materials from the general waste stream and the reuse of these materials. The objectives of recycling are to save resources as well as reduce the environmental impact of waste by reducing the amount of waste disposed at landfills”. Therefore, by recycling, we save our limited natural resources, we save our energy resources and we help combat global warming by reducing the amount of waste disposed of at landfills. According to a survey done in the United States, landfills are the largest human-caused producers of Methane, with Methane being a significant greenhouse gas. Methane has been found to be 20 times more potent than carbon dioxide in trapping heat in the atmosphere. And because Methane has a relatively short lifespan of 9 to 15 years, reducing Methane emissions is expected to be an effective way to reduce climate warming in a relatively short period of time.1 However, recycling does not just have an enormous impact on our environment, recycling also makes a significant difference to your costs. Recycling will significantly reduce your current general waste and hence reduce your current costs of disposing of this waste. Therefore, the potential cost outlay of setting up a recycling initiative can be offset by this saving in general waste cost.
2. About our Company Postwink Recycling Products distributes quality, yet practical, recycling products, in aim to promote a recycling culture and to encourage separation of waste at source. Postwink’s products make your recycling easy.
Founded in 2007, our unique product range includes large igloo-type recycling bins (‘recycling banks’), stainless steel recycling units, colour-coded wheelie bins and a range of fully recyclable recycling bins of various sizes. Hence, our products are suitable for recycling initiatives at large and small companies, hotels, convention centres, business centres, shopping centres and schools, as well as being ideal for public spaces.
In order to have a range of products of high quality, Postwink has teamed up with reputable companies that manufacture some products specifically for us or for whom we are their sole distributors. In other words, the majority of our products are unique. Furthermore, all our products are manufactured in South Africa.
We deliver nationwide and beyond our borders. However, Postwink is aware that transporting goods has a negative impact on the environment. This is why we support the tree planting programmes implemented by Food and Trees For Africa (FTFA) and hence, in the process, reduce our carbon footprint. We do this by allowing in all our prices a contribution amount to Food and Trees For Africa’s Trees for All programme.
Postwink is a Level-4 BEE contributor, and we are hence fully BBBEE compliant. Postwink is also 100% female owned.
3. Use of our Recycling Bins Our recycling bins can be used to collect some or all of the following materials: Ø Glass Ø Paper Ø Plastic Ø Tins and Cans Ø Organic or Wet waste (such as collecting food waste and biodegradable packaging before
it is composted) Ø Non-Recyclables (such as general waste) Ø Recyclables or Dry Waste (such a bin would collect all recyclable or dry waste, with the
intention of your recycling collector sorting it into the various waste types for recycling.)
4. Servicing of the Recycling Bins and Staff Awareness / Training Should you require assistance with emptying our recycling bins, we will either put you in touch with a reputable company (whether a recycling collector or a waste management company) or coordinate the full implementation of your recycling programme, depending on your needs. Furthermore, to ensure that Postwink recycling bins are used effectively by your employees, cleaning contractors and/or scholars, we team up with qualified, reputable companies who will provide you with relevant and certified training that will suit your needs and budget. Postwink recycling posters are also available to help your staff learn how to separate their waste.
5. Branding your Recycling Bins Please ask us about personalising your recycling bins with your corporate logo. For some of our products (such as the leather-touch bins), we are able to provide this service at no extra charge. For other products, a minimal rate applies.

6. Colours used for Separating the Waste There are currently no formal standard for colours used to differentiate the various recyclable waste. However, there are “most used” colours, which we try to adhere to. Hence, unless requested otherwise, we will use the following colours for your orders: ü Blue for Paper ü Green for Glass ü Yellow for Plastics ü Silver or Red for Cans, Tins and other Ferrous Metals ü Brown or Green for compostable and food waste ü Red for Hazardous waste ü Charcoal or Black for General, non-recyclable waste
The next sections provide more information on our range of products.
7. EcoCyclinder Bins – 100Lt Our 100 litre indoor rotomoulded EcoCylinder bins are made of recyclable plastic (polyethylene), are extremely robust and are manufactured locally. These have a removable lid with cut-out throw-in holes. The top of each lid is applied with a colourful, durable vinyl, which also states the waste type that it is intended for. This Recycling bin is currently available with two or three compartments or for a single waste use. The 2- and 3-compartment EcoCylinders include sturdy inner removable “sleeves” to separate the waste. Standard-size liners can be used.

8. EcoLids (with or without base bins) EcoLids turn various standard bins into colourful recycling bins: so if your bin has a diameter between 40cm and 53cm wide, then an EcoLid would fit your litter bin and turn it into a recycling bin.
EcoLids can be embossed with the following waste types: Ø Paper Ø Plastic Ø Glass Ø Tin Ø Food Ø Other Ø General Waste Ø Recyclables Ø Non-Recyclable
Back of a Glass EcoLid
EcoLids are great for schools, canteens, hotel kitchens, as well as outdoor areas – as their robustness will conquer any weather conditions, making them highly durable. EcoLids fit a variety of standard bins, some of which can be purchased together with the lids. The various bins available include: Cement/cobble bins or a 100litre quality polyethylene bin. Note that these fit the standard 85 litre “ash bin” (black bin with lid previously used by various municipalities).
