BOB ! Also for on-the-go consumption!

BOB collecte le verre et les emballages issus de la consommation nomade

BOB is designed for the collection and sorting of glass in public spaces, but not only that…

BOB now also offers an out-of-home collection and sorting solution for on-the-go packaging! BOB has a new square yellow lid for food packaging.

Another new feature is that BOB has broadened its shoulders, offering a second storage capacity of 530 litres.

BOB is simply emptied by suction, using the fleets of sweepers and vacuum cleaners already available in urban areas. It can be emptied by a single operator. It saves a considerable amount of time and manpower, as it avoids the need for cumbersome manual collection, which can lead to musculo-skeletal disorders.

BOB is a removable device. It can therefore offer a collection solution for urban cultural or sporting events.

ROSILUV at the Parc Maximilien Farm in Brussels

ROSILUV Ferme du Parc Maximilien à Bruxelles

In Brussels, the Ferme du parc Maximilien collective, set up on a wasteland, has no water supply.

He chose the ROSILUV GALVA self-contained rainwater collector for watering.

Thank you to Maral Voskertchian, project manager, for her feedback:

“The structure seems to be holding up well and the first rain has already partly filled the tank. This collector will now give us access to water on an urban wasteland so that we can grow a few planters with the help of local residents”.

Rosiluv is a clever rainwater collector that can be installed on top of 1000-liters intermediate bulk containers (IBCs) so that they can be filled without the need for a nearby roof.

It’s an economical solution for watering vegetable gardens, allotments and shared gardens, educational school gardens and urban wasteland. Rosiluv also provides a simple solution for access to water for eco-pasture.

This robust, low-tech 4.3m2 funnel is made from galvanised steel.

Using Rosiluv :

– you have easy access to water for irrigation.
– you reduce your water bills.
– you have a rain shelter to store your tools.
– optimise the life of your IBC tank by protecting it from UV rays.

L’Uritonnoir: the straw bale urinal that makes compost from ‘liquid gold’ | The Guardian

French design studio Faltazi has developed a plug-in funnel to upcycle urine and bring an eco message to summer festivals.

“Are you used to going for a number one in the back of your garden?” asks French design studio Faltazi. “Do not waste this valuable golden fluid by sprinkling on inappropriate surfaces!”

Their solution to the problem of peeing al fresco is l’Uritonnoir, a hybrid of a urinal (“urinoir” in French) and a funnel (“entonnoir”) that plugs into a straw bale to make your very own urine upcycling factory.

As the bale is filled with your “liquid gold”, the nitrogen in the urine reacts with the carbon in the straw to begin the process of decomposition – forming a rich mound of composted humus within 6-12 months.

L’Uritonnoir was originally dreamt up with summer festivals in mind, where straw bales are often in frequent supply, but portaloos are not. The device comes as a flat polypropylene sheet, which is folded into shape and slotted together, then threaded on a looping band around the bale, its funnel wedged deep into the centre of the straw to channel the fluid to the composting core. A deluxe version is also available in stainless steel – presumably for the VIP bale urinal area.

The designers say their mission is to raise festival-goers’ awareness of “dry urination, water saving and urine upcycling,” and suggest the compost can kept on site and used in planters the following year to demonstrate its value. Production is set to begin in June, when the design will debut at the French heavy metal festival Hellfest.

L’Uritonnoir is just one part of Faltazi’s wider Ekovores project, which is looking at how to introduce locally integrated systems of waste management and food production – from prefab modules for processing and preserving food, to facilities for reclaiming organic waste and an online platform for exchanging know-how.

L’Uritonnoir joins a growing trend for dry, organic toilets, and it is not the first time that urinating on to straw bales has been advocated. In 2009 the National Trust introduced “pee bales” in some of its gardens for male members of staff to relieve themselves, and encouraged people to do the same at home.

“Most people can compost in some way in their own gardens,” said Rosemary Hooper, Wimpole estate’s in-house master composter. “Peeing on a compost heap activates the composting process helps to produce a ready supply of lovely organic matter to add back to the garden. It’s totally safe, and a bit of fun too.”
