Winner of the Shell award for innovation, Baby Jaws is a green, mean recycling machine, which helps pubs, clubs, restaurants and cafés save money by reducing waste disposal costs. Baby Jaws also keeps your neighbours happy by cutting down the clutter of clinking glass being chucked out at night.
A lot of bottles? Crush them with Baby Jaws. Available at Stand N1056 at Hotelympia.
Baby Jaws allows hotel, club, bar and restaurant owners to achieve:
? An 80% reduction in volume in their
waste bins ? Huge savings in
waste disposal costs and less bins needed
? Limit neighbours’ concerns over clinking bottles when bins are put out late –
a long-standing problem for bars and hotels in residential areas
? Low noise [42dbs] and low energy use – Baby Jaws takes a standard plug
? A financially-viable solution to a hotel’s recycling issues.
“The machine is very easy to install and use – you just put it on an even surface and plug it in. The bottles are fed into a continuous feeder and the
cullet* is collected into a tray or bag underneath.” [*a
cullet is another term for crushed glass]
Baby Jaws stops automatically when the tray reaches 18kg in weight and needs to be emptied.
