    Modular furniture system optimises waste management in the office

    Lista Office LO is expanding its office furniture brand of the same name with a modular system for waste management. According to a press release, the LO Value modular system offers sliding and pull-out containers in various sizes, reversible doors and interchangeable magnetic or adhesive labels.

    Fronts that open at the touch of a finger and generous disposal flaps with handles or foot pedals are designed to reduce contact points and the risk of contamination. Freely integrable PET and can presses compress the volume of waste. This in turn reduces the effort required for storage, transport and management.

    According to the information provided, the available LO Value variants are designed to fit into any design concept. As a colourful counterpoint, it attracts attention, while in monochrome it can blend in with its surroundings – depending on “whether the call for waste separation is to be implemented discreetly or as a visual exclamation mark”.

    Acquisition expands offering in construction and recycling

    Holcim acquires Cand-Landi Holding in western Switzerland. The company, which has been family-owned for 128 years, has consolidated net sales of CHF 70 million and is active in various areas: from recycling and waste management to aggregates and ready-mix concrete.

    According to a Holcim press release, the acquisition will open up new sources of alternative raw materials and fuels for Holcim and thus accelerate decarbonisation at the Holcim plant in Eclépens VD. In addition, the acquisition will enable Holcim to increase the transformation of construction waste into new construction solutions by 100,000 tonnes per year.

    Following a long-standing partnership between the two companies, Holcim intends to offer its customers an even more comprehensive range of construction, logistics and recycling services through this acquisition. The “high value-added” services in rail logistics and the Cand-Landi Group’s network will contribute to the diversification of Holcim’s business.

    “The acquisition of the Cand-Landi Group will drive decarbonisation and the circular economy in Switzerland, a beacon market for innovation at Holcim,” summarises Holcim CEO Miljan Gutovic. “I look forward to welcoming all 250 employees of the Cand-Landi Group and investing together in our next chapter of growth.”
