The netBin fill-monitoring system measures container capacity using sensors and issues a warning to the user when a container is reaching capacity.
Egbert Taylor Group, which has traditionally been known for its iconic steel containers, now also includes a number of brands within its portfolio. The company says the partnership will add to its ‘technology-based proposition’.
On the partnership with netBin Egbert Taylor Group’s chief executive, Brendan Murphy, said: “The world of waste has irrevocably changed and there are now more ways in which technology can have a long-lasting and positive impact on the process of waste collection and management. As part of Egbert Taylor Group’s commitment to delivering a 360-degree approach to waste collection, we want to be the best at integrating technology within traditional products to deliver efficiencies.
“To achieve this, collaboration is key and we are open to establishing meaningful partnerships with those who can provide added value and who feel that they could create value from working with us. It’s an incredibly exciting time for the waste industry and we’re committed to playing a role in shaping the waste collection techniques and practices of the future.”
Digital
Steve Scott, chairman at FarSite Communications, added: “The Internet of Things is becoming increasingly important with regards to improving business efficiency. Whilst the digital age of connecting things is still in its infancy, Egbert Taylor Group has been quick to establish that the value generated when combining traditional containers with new technology is greater than the sum of its parts.
“Being able to take any container, from traditional bins to textile banks, and make them intelligent waste assets is a huge step forward for the waste industry and we look forward to sharing Egbert Taylor Group’s vision going forwards.”
Brands alongside netBin in the Egbert Taylor Group portfolio include Taylor, Sellers, Bigbelly, OMB Containers and Mattiussi.
