Advanced Recycling Solutions
With decades of expertise, Finncont® delivers some of the market’s most advanced recycling systems, combining efficiency, safety, and refined design. Our solutions are available as semi-underground fixed installations as well as fully above-ground, mobile units that can be relocated as needed.
Fixed systems with larger container capacities support long-term waste management for properties and facilities, while movable surface models are ideally suited for large-scale exercises, temporary operations, or other short-term requirements.
All recycling systems are innovations of Finncont Design Studio® and are manufactured in Virrat, Finland. We continuously develop our products by listening to our customers and integrating environmental responsibility into every stage of design and production.
Within Finncont’s lifting-based waste management product family, particular attention has been paid not only to end-user functionality but also to the occupational safety of collection and emptying personnel.
Finncont® Module is an innovative and modular recycling system designed for easy customization across a wide range of applications. Its adaptable structure allows the system to be configured according to site-specific requirements.
A newly introduced corner lid design maximizes space utilization and offers greater flexibility in placement. Combined with a module that can be divided into up to six separate waste fractions, Finncont® Module enables multi-stream collection within an exceptionally compact footprint.
The result is efficient use of every square meter—making it possible to establish a fully functional recycling point even in the most space-constrained locations.
Finncont® Icon waste collection system is a stylish and safe solution with proven performance in real-world use. When high-capacity waste collection is required, Icon containers provide an ideal choice.
Icon containers are available in both above-ground and underground models, offering versatile solutions for a wide range of sites and operational needs.
Finncont® Wakka is a 3 m³ bottom-emptying waste collection system designed for efficient operation and ease of use. The containers feature a tapered lower structure and hatches that open to a full 90° angle, ensuring excellent emptying performance.
Wakka containers are easy to relocate according to changing needs and align neatly in rows, maintaining a clean and consistent appearance. User experience is enhanced by the option of dual-sided filling hatches and an ergonomically optimized loading height.
