Lasso semi-underground containers installed in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence Region

Posted on by

The Lasso™ brand continues to consolidate its presence in the French market, this time through the DLVAgglo – Durance Luberon Verdon Agglomération project implemented by Contenur, its distributor in France. The project involves the installation of semi-underground containers for the selective collection of urban waste in the agglomeration of communities located in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence department, in southeastern France.

This region is distinguished by its strong natural and landscape component, marked by rural areas, small communities and a high environmental value, integrating mountainous areas, valleys and touristic areas of great importance. This context requires waste management solutions that combine robustness, functionality and integration into the public space, criteria that are the basis for Lasso’s waste containerization solutions.

To date, approximately 130 semi-underground concrete containers with a capacity of 5 m³ have been supplied, intended for the collection of four waste streams: mixed waste, packaging, paper, and glass.

The applied coatings have varied between “Rolled Pebble” and “Recycled Plastic,” with an “Image Coating” already implemented in one of the recycling banks, a solution visible in the most recent installations. The installation of five containers in painted concrete in the color “Forge” for the community of Gréoux-les-Bains is also planned for a future delivery.

The modular HDPE lids maintained a consistent configuration throughout the various phases of the project. For the mixed waste stream, lids with a double drum and a lid adapted for large producers were used, while the remaining streams use “Façade” vertical opening lids, also with a lid adapted for large producers.

For Sofia Sampaio, commercial director of Lasso, this project represents a strategic step in the brand’s international growth: “Projects like DLVAgglo demonstrate confidence in our solutions and reinforce the importance of the partnership with Contenur, which has been fundamental to consolidating our brand in France, through solutions adapted to the technical and territorial specificities of each region.”

With this project, Lasso reaffirms its commitment to developing sustainable, durable, and technically adapted solutions to meet the needs of each community, contributing to more efficient waste management in demanding urban and rural contexts.

Contenur, the exclusive distributor of Lasso for the French market, has installed around 40 Lasso SEMI BT semi-underground containers in the department of Hérault, in southern France, as part of a project promoted by Syndicat Centre Hérault.

These are semi-underground containers with a “Wood Imitation” cladding, concrete pit, and Kinshofer lifting system with a metal inner container and double door. The modular polyethylene lid includes a flap, and the containers for residual waste are equipped with a double drum lid and pre-installed access control system.

Thanks to their robustness and high construction quality, this model has demonstrated excellent performance, perfectly adapting to the region’s requirements, both from an aesthetic and functional perspective.

Hérault, located in the Occitanie region, is known for its diverse landscapes, combining Mediterranean coastline, modern urban areas, and historic villages. It is an area committed to environmental sustainability, where efficient waste management is an increasingly important priority.

“The installation of SEMI BT containers in Hérault represents an important step in strengthening selective waste collection in urban and semi-urban areas in France. This project, developed by our partner Contenur, reflects not only the confidence in the quality of Lasso’s solution but also the commitment of Syndicat Centre Hérault to more efficient, modern, and environmentally responsible waste management,” says Sofia Sampaio, Lasso’s commercial director for the international market.

With this project, Lasso strengthens its presence in France and reaffirms its role in innovation and the quality of urban waste management solutions.

The city of Vilnius, in Lithuania, adopted Lasso’s Green Bee underground waste containers to reinforce selective waste collection.
