Welcome to the racksack® Reseller Guide. This is a practical resource to help you support customers with workplace recycling and compliance, using the racksack® system.

And yes... it's also here to help you sell more racksack® too!

What is racksack®?

racksack® is the original racking-mounted recycling bag, trusted worldwide for over a decade.

Instead of placing bulky commercial recycling bins on the floor, racksack® hangs from racking, rollcages, production trolleys, or other equipment, such as forklift trucks, making it easier to capture waste where it’s created and keep walkways clear.

Because racksack® is reusable for years (and helps reduce reliance on disposable black bin liners), it can also help customers save costs long-term, while freeing up valuable floor space.

It’s widely used across warehouses, logistics, retail, offices, and production environments, with:

  • Multiple sizes and formats (fixed and mobile use cases)
  • Clear front prints and waste symbols to help staff sort correctly
  • A durable, reusable design suited to demanding workplaces
  • Support for better waste management, which helps customers stay aligned with legislation that’s becoming stricter over time

The Waste Problem (and the racksack® fix)

The Problem

On busy sites, waste builds up fast, and the “quick fixes” don’t really work.

Many warehouses end up tying black bin liners to rack ends or relying on bulky plastic bins that eat up valuable floor space. Most of the time, they’re poorly labelled (or not labelled at all), so waste gets mixed, recycling gets contaminated, and sorting becomes a constant battle.

Black bin liners also rip, leak, and look messy, and once they’re full, they usually head straight for the landfill. Traditional bins aren’t much better: they still need liners, and when they’re used without them, they’re heavy, awkward to empty, and a pain to drag over to the main commercial waste bin.

The Solution

racksack® makes waste collection simple, tidy, and easy to sort.

racksack® hangs where waste happens - on racking ends, rollcages, desks, trolleys and more - keeping floors clear and waste out of the way.

With clear waste symbols and colour-coded prints on the front of the bag, teams know instantly where each type of waste goes, helping customers improve recycling, reduce contamination, and support compliance.

racksack® is also extremely durable and can often be used for years without needing replacement. That reusability makes it a far more sustainable long-term alternative to black bin liners (and a lot less messy, too).

Why UK Waste Legislation makes racksack® more relevant than ever

From 31st March 2025, many workplaces in England have been required to separate waste streams under the Government's Simpler Recycling rules.

In practice, that means customers need a setup that helps teams sort waste correctly every day.

Workplaces must separate waste before collection, including:

Mixed Dry Recycling

Glass, paper, metal, cardboard, plastic

Food Waste

Organic waste from food that needs to be collected separately

Black Bin Waste

Residual (general) waste

On 29th November 2024, DEFRA confirmed that businesses must separate paper and card from other dry recyclables (such as glass, metal, and plastics), unless their waste collector has carried out an assessment allowing them to be collected together.

Our experience

What our resellers see on real sites

Through our reseller network, we've seen racksack® used across warehouses, logistics hubs, retail back-of-house, offices, and production areas, just to name a few! racksack® is most often used in places where waste builds up fastest.

Common patterns we see that end users benefit from:

 

1. Think in zones, not individual products

Goods In, Pick & Pack, Dispatch, office desks, and mobile work all need slightly different setups, using different racksack® models and waste symbols.

2. Symbols reduce mistakes

Clear waste symbols consistently help reduce 'wrong bin' disposal and contamination.

3. Start with the messiest, high volume waste

Shrink wrap, strapping, and packaging breakdown are usually the quickest wins.

4. Roll out a site-wide system over time

Rather than trying to fix everything in one go.

Waste Symbols: Small Detail. BIG Impact

Clear waste symbols are one of the most powerful parts of the racksack® system.

Instead of relying on training, racksack® uses large, clear front prints to guide behaviour instantly.

 

Available waste symbol options include:

General Waste

Used where non-recyclable waste is unavoidable. Often paired with recycling symbols nearby to clearly separate what can and can't be recycled.

Cardboard

Ideal for packaging breakdown in warehouses, retail back-of-house, and packing areas where cardboard is generated in high volumes.

Mixed Paper & Card

Commonly used in offices, admin areas, and light production environments where paper and card are generated together.

Mixed Recycling

A flexible option for shared areas or smaller sites where multiple recyclable materials are collected together.

Plastic Only

Designed for clean plastic packaging such as films, wraps, and trays. Particularly useful in pick and pack areas.

Plastic Strapping

Used in goods-in and pallet breakdown areas where strapping is removed and often left loose on the floor if not captured properly.

Shrink Wrap

Ideal for inbound deliveries and pallet unpacking, capturing bulky plastic wrap at source before it becomes a trip hazard.

Each symbol helps customers:

Clearly define waste streams across their site

Reduce contamination and recycling errors

Improve recycling rates with minimal effort

Demonstrate good waste segregation and compliance practices

For resellers, this creates natural upsell and cross-sell opportunities and helps customers manage multiple waste streams across a single site.
