Contentores semienterrados Lasso

Contenur, our partner in the French market, has completed the installation of 150 Lasso™ semi-underground containers in the territory of the Privas Centre Ardèche Community.

The project, which began a year ago, represents a milestone in the modernization of waste collection in this community, contributing to the improvement of citizens’ quality of life, the optimization of public services, and the promotion of more responsible environmental practices.

The new equipment allows for the selective collection of mixed waste, packaging, glass, and cardboard — the latter through specially adapted containers with a dedicated opening system.

Thanks to their versatility and landscape integration, Lasso semi-underground containers adapt harmoniously to different urban and natural contexts. The Privas Centre Ardèche region, which combines river, mountain, and city areas, exemplifies this integration capacity — ensuring efficient collection without compromising the aesthetics or environmental balance of public spaces.

The project is part of the long-term strategy of the Communauté d’Agglomération Privas Centre Ardèche, a territory strongly committed to ecological challenges and committed to the environmental and energy transition. Over the next three years, the initiative is planned to continue, with the aim of equipping the entire territory with this equipment.

Contenur and Lasso Eco Innovation thus continue to strengthen their role as reference partners in the implementation of efficient and ecological solutions for urban waste management in France.

The 20 Lasso SEMI PE containers for selective biowaste collection are now in operation in the municipality of Seixal. To this end, Lasso Eco Innovation converted containers previously used for mixed waste.

The initiative implemented by the municipality consists of converting one of them to biowaste in locations where there were two unsorted waste containers, encouraging citizens to properly separate organic waste, which was previously deposited in the mixed waste container.

These containers also include an access control system that ensures more efficient and monitored waste disposal management. This solution represents a strategic step in leveraging existing infrastructure, promoting sustainability and circularity.

According to the Seixal City Council, the public’s response has been very positive, reflecting increased environmental awareness and a desire to contribute to a more effective waste management system. This measure is integrated into the new national directive for biowaste management, to which the municipality is actively adapting to meet national and European environmental targets.

“At Lasso Eco Innovation, we remain committed to providing technological and sustainable solutions that support municipalities in achieving their environmental goals, promoting a more efficient and environmentally friendly circular economy,” says Pedro Martins da Costa, CEO of Lasso Eco Innovation.

Lasso SEMI DUO: two waste streams in a single container

Posted on by

The SEMI DUO, Lasso’s new semi-underground container, has now hit the market. It was developed specifically to help municipalities adapt to the collection of bio-waste. The Lasso SEMI DUO is an exclusive solution developed by Sopsa, with a unique feature that sets it apart from the rest: it is an innovative, bi-compartmentalized semi-underground container that allows two types of waste to be collected in the same container.

Designed to optimize collection space, this container is equipped with a modular double-opening lid that allows for various combinations of lids and openings – whether mats, vertical openings or single or double drums.

With two distinct openings and two independent bags, the new Lasso SEMI DUO stands out from other containers, allowing users to correctly deposit different waste streams without the risk of cross-contamination. SEMI DUO is particularly suitable for combining bio-waste/mixed waste, and works equally well with plastic/paper. It is also an interesting solution for adapting to existing semi-underground containers, allowing bio-waste to be collected without taking up additional space on public areas.

This innovative approach not only optimises urban space, reducing the need for multiple containers, but also simplifies collection logistics, making it more efficient and economically viable.

The new Lasso SEMI DUO is also compatible with intelligent waste management systems, such as access control systems or fill level probes. In addition, its modern and intuitive design encourages active participation by the population in waste separation, contributing to a cleaner and more sustainable environment. With its implementation, municipalities can take a significant step towards meeting recycling and organic recovery targets, ensuring waste management that is more in line with European environmental requirements.

“The introduction of Lasso SEMI DUO represents a concrete response to the challenges of selective collection, demonstrating that innovation and sustainability can go hand in hand to transform the way we manage our waste”, adds Sofia Sampaio, Sopsa’s commercial director for the international market.
