SmartBin teams up with Ragtex UK to bring substantial cost savings to the textile collector

SmartBin is delighted to announce that it has entered into an agreement with one of the long established textile recycling companies, Ragtex UK, to supply them with its flagship solution for remote monitoring of bin fill levels in textile containers. The solution will provide Ragtex with fully integrated and fully automated alert system which aims at eliminating wasted collection journeys and consequently cutting down carbon emissions.

Ragtex has over 30 years experience in recycling quality used clothes, shoes, household linen and toys which are exported to Africa, Asia and Eastern Europe.

The company decided to trial SmartBin sensors to analyze the data from the performance of their bins and to ensure that the bins involved in the trial are being used and managed optimally.

"We're confident that Ragtex will see substantial cost savings and will be able to manage their routes more efficiently by dispatching their vehicles to collect full or nearly-full bins only", says Alan Mangan, Director of Business Development in SmartBin.
