Contentores hidráulicos Lasso instalados em Bucareste, Roménia

Following the installation of the new Sopsa factory in Romania, the first Lasso hydraulic underground containers are being installed in that country. The containers are destined for Sector 6 of the city of Bucharest and, to date, around 300 containers have been installed, in a project involving a total of 743 units.

The project for Sector 6 of the city of Bucharest integrates C4 hydraulic containers, with a Red Bee stainless steel column and drum, for the selective collection of mixed waste, plastic and packaging, paper and cardboard and bio-waste.

“The capital of Romania is now reorganizing its waste management, adapting it to the new European directives, and our Lasso containers will be fundamental to this process. The choice of hydraulic containers is due to the fact that they present all the advantages of a recycling bank with underground containers, without, however, the need for a crane”, says Sofia Sampaio, commercial director of Lasso for the international market.

The more than 700 new C4 hydraulic containers from Lasso are being produced at Sopsa’s new production unit, located north of Bucharest – Sopsa Inovatie Ecologica,Srl.

Contentores semienterrados Lasso em Temara, Marrocos

The first Lasso SEMI PE semi-underground containers have just been installed in Temara, a coastal city in Morocco, in a project carried out in collaboration with local distributor, Isotec Maroc. These are containers with a capacity of 1.5 m³, with a double metal ring, intended for the storage of mixed waste, installed in a new urbanization built in this Moroccan city recognized as a beach and golf destination.

Morocco is currently implementing a more sustainable waste management policy, in which Lasso semi-underground containers fit appropriately, given their characteristics of large capacity, robustness, durability and space optimization. One of the features that immediately pleased those responsible for the Temara project was the fact that waste is stored below ground, which prevents odors and pests and ensures greater urban hygiene.

“The Lasso SEMI adapt perfectly to the demands of our customers in Morocco and meet all the requirements for waste management needs in that country. The first containers have already been installed and we are sure that they are an excellent option”, says Sofia Sampaio, commercial director at Lasso for the international market.

From 9 to 11 April, Lasso will be at Green Energy Expo & Romenvirotec, at the Romexpo exhibition centre in Bucharest, Romania. This is the international trade fair dedicated to renewable energy, waste and water management, and is the most important exhibition in this sector in this country where Sopsa has recently set up a manufacturing plant.

At this event dedicated to sustainability, Lasso will be showcasing its advanced waste collection solutions, namely its underground and semi-underground containers, manufactured by Sopsa. These solutions also include hydraulic containers, a solution with all the benefits of underground containers, but with the advantage of not requiring a crane for collection operations.

This will be an opportunity to explore and see how Lasso underground and semi-underground containers are transforming the urban environment, through solutions that are more aesthetically pleasing and take up less space, while also improving waste collection efficiency and promoting greater hygiene and a greener future for the smart cities of the future.

“This is our second year at this event in Romania, to show our customers the full potential of our innovative waste collection solutions. Romania and neighboring countries are beginning to adopt new policies regarding waste management and Sopsa positions itself as a partner for the sustainability of their cities”, says Sofia Sampaio, the brand’s commercial director for the international market.
