TOM is a cool new waste compaction system for public places. He might be your new buddy at work or you might spot him in a Quick service restaurant, at an Airport or in a theme park. TOM has a healthy appetite for anything that is left over on your tray and he takes care of every litter. As the waste is compacted, TOM has the capacity to hold a lot and thereby keeps the place around him clean and

TOM'S TOUCH-FREE CONCEPT CONVINCED TOMMY BEANS
Vigatec, Orwak’s distributor in Chile, supplied Tommy Beans quick service restaurant with two TOM units. TOM gives Tommy Beans the opportunity to contribute to the environment and save operational costs.

The restaurant recently reopened with the implementation of sanitary measures. TOM waste bins provide hands-free operation, and their sensor-based automatic shutter ensures greater hygiene for the user. The touch-free technology is in high demand today, as it offers increased safety by reducing the spread of infections.

Felipe Conca, Brand Director of Tommy Beans explains: …”We need the commitment from all our clients, so that together we collaborate with the environment. That is why we, at our local Tommy Beans restaurant in Providencia, have implemented smart waste bins, which have allowed us to reduce the use of waste bags, the waste volume and the time spent on changing bags and cleaning.”

FIND THE PERFECT SPOT AND GET A TOM FOR FREE
The best TOM salesman is no doubt…TOM himself! High exposure creates awareness, interest and demand! We are currently looking for new placement opportunities for TOM. The perfect spot is a public (indoor) environment, where TOM gets high visibility and there is intense, incredible daily foot traffic!

If you know a great spot like that, where you want to place TOM, send a suggestion describing the environment including a photo of it to [email protected] ! We will review the incoming suggestions and are ready to give away TOM for free to the, in our opinion, best and most exciting spots!

TOM was very active at the exhibition "Total Facilities" in Sydney. He worked hard at the busy cafe on location and got a lot of attention from the visitors. David Picone, Orwak's representative in Australia, comments: "We got lots of leeds and positive feed back for TOM, who looked his best at all times".

The cleaner liked that TOM didn't need to be emptied and was not seen at all on the second day until he was summoned! According to the cleaner, the standard bins typically got emptied 6-7 times a day before TOM made an appearance and replaced them...
