ALPESASS operates in the environmental and transportation sectors, with primary activities including waste collection, sorting, recovery, and treatment, urban cleaning and sanitation work, and the rental of containers and press-containers.

What was the issue ? Need for a solution to transport sticky waste.

The company ALPESASS contacted us because some of their clients were looking for a simple, fast, and cost-effective solution for evacuating thin cement (residue from cleaning concrete mixer trucks) during container washing.

Indeed, the thin cement sticks to the bottom of the containers, and it's impossible to completely empty it in one go. To continue using the container, it must be clean; otherwise, the waste storage volume decreases, and rotations are not profitable. Operators would then have to spend several hours cleaning the container after use. This leads to significant washing costs and time loss when considering several factors:

  • The cost of interior washing
  • Operator downtime
  • container and truck downtime
  • Round trip to the washing station

The solution proposed by OTEXIO

We advised them to equip the containers with our PROTECSKIP® protective bags made of plastic film. It's an cost-effective solution for all waste transportation and recycling stakeholders: a unique and custom-made product that helps protect the containers and thereby reduce costs and time losses related to container washing. PROTECSKIP® also provides a solution for sealing your container at a lower cost.

PROTECSKIP® allows you to transport different types of waste: (non-exhaustive list)

  • Sticky waste: paint, plaster, concrete laitance, glue
  • Raw food waste: bread dough, fruits (e.g., apple pomace in a cider mill), vegetables, yogurts
  • Corrosive waste: solvents, acidic sludges (under testing)
  • Contaminated waste: sludges, polluted soils
  • Liquid waste: ink, oil, water, motor oil, lime, wax (under testing)

Client's feedback after PROTECSKIP® test:

The technician provided a convincing demonstration on-site. After testing, the company implemented the use of PROTECSKIP® with their client.

The Operations Manager of the industrial waste service reported the benefits of using PROTECSKIP®, "The container now empties correctly, so no additional handling is needed (equipment or jackhammer, material loss, etc.)". In this case, PROTECSKIP® enables time savings by eliminating the need for container washing, thus leading to considerable reduction in operating costs.

The advantages of PROTECSKIP®:

  • Quick installation in under 5 minutes
  • container protection = clean and secured transportation
  • Effective draining of the entire container = time savings
  • Allows sealing the container at a lower cost
  • Easy and fast installation
  • Significant reduction in operating costs by eliminating container washing
  • Custom-made fabrication
