One simple switch with measurable benefits

Cut down on plastic infrastructure

Most waste systems rely on traditional plastic bins and liners. This switch replaces both, helping you reduce a major source of avoidable plastic in daily operations.

Cleaner and easier for teams
No double-bagging, no leaks, no awkward lifts – just a tidy, degradable system that fits into daily routines.

Clear carbon and plastic reductions you can measure
Simple, reportable improvements that support your sustainability targets.

Here’s how the system fits into your routine

Echologika is part of national and regional networks that support practical circular solutions and real climate action.

  • Open

    Pop the degradable bin into place, no plastic liners required at all.

  • Fill

    Use it exactly as you would a normal bin. General waste or food waste.

  • Close & change

    When full, seal and replace with a fresh bin. No mess, no extra steps.

A small switch with a clear impact

Removing 100 plastic liners can save around 9 litres of oil – roughly the same as driving a small car for about 25 miles.

It’s a simple change that adds up quickly when bins are used every day.

Meet Colin

I’m an engineer by background, and efficiency is important to me. This journey started at home – a split bin liner on the kitchen floor. Nothing dramatic, but it was getting tedious and at that point, some 20 years ago, I resolved to do something about it.

Over 40 years in construction and development tends to strengthen a persons determination. As a consultant I delivered designs principally for hospitals, offices and educational spaces before moving into the field of construction and development where I delivered class leading office headquarters, manufacturing facilities, data centres and hospitality spaces across the UK and Europe. 

Echologika began as a simple engineering question: what would the environmental impacts be if we removed the need for all that plastic infrastructure altogether? The answer was a degradable system that fits into existing routines and delivers clear, measurable improvements without disrupting daily work.

Today that approach is recognised by Innovate UK, ReLondon, Sustainability West Midlands and the edie Net-Zero Awards. But the mission hasn’t changed: to make sustainability practical and easy for the people running real homes and spaces every day.

If you’re not sure whether our units fit your environment, email me. I read everything, and you’ll get a straightforward answer either way.

Ask Colin a Question

Want to see if Echologika is right for your space?

UK households typically use 100+ plastic bin liners annually and replace domestic bins and food caddies periodically. Councils seem to replace wheelie bins at an alarming rate. Each one represents oil extracted, energy consumed, and emissions released. Use our calculator below to discover the positive impact you could make with disposable alternatives. See your potential savings in real, relatable terms - then explore how easy the switch can be.
