The luxurious and state-of-the-art Hilton Rijeka Costabella Beach Resort & Spa opened in June 2021 and is perfectly situated between the popular Croatian seaside towns Rijeka and Opatija. It was a natural decision to choose an effective and sustainable waste management solution and create an indoor recycling point with the Orwak multi-chamber baler.

Well advised by the waste management consultant Interseroh, Hilton Rijeka Coastabella is a big resort with several bars and restaurants on site and it generates considerable volumes of waste and recyclables, which must be handled properly in a streamlined process.

When JTH Group, who built the hotel, invested in a composter for the kitchen waste, they came in contact with Interseroh, a waste management consultant and Orwak’s distributor in Croatia. After conducting a waste audit, Interseroh recommended the Orwak multi-chamber baler 9020S with four chambers, one for each waste fraction: cardboard, LDPE foil, plastic crates and wooden crates. This baler type comes with two chambers as standard, but it is easy to add additional to create an inhouse recycling point. It is both effective and convenient to sort, dispose of and compact the waste and the recyclables directly at source.
