Shared containers are open to everyone

  • Anyone can use them

    Neighbouring buildings, shops and passers-by fill containers someone else pays for.

  • No record of use

    There is no record of who opened a container, when, or how often.

  • Keys don't scale

    Physical keys get copied and lost, and must be handed out again every time users change.

Three parts, one system

  • Sol Lok

    The lock mounted on the container. No battery and no wiring, so it needs no maintenance.

  • Sol app

    For users and field staff, on Android and iOS. The phone becomes the key to the containers they may open.

  • Sol Console

    For managers, in the browser. Decide who opens what and see everything that happens on the ground.

Sol Lok: no battery, no maintenance

A compact lock mounted on the container lid. There is nothing to charge, replace or connect to the grid: once it is installed, it works.
  • No battery to replace and no cables
  • Opens only for people who have access
  • A code printed on every lock, easy to recognise in the app
  • Stays open until you close it, or locks itself after every use
  • Reconfigured remotely, with no site visits

Four steps for a user

A sticker with these steps goes on every container, so nobody needs training.

  1. Tap

    Hold your phone to the lock to unlock it.

  2. Turn

    Turn the knob to the right to open the container.

  3. Throw

    Put your waste in the container.

  4. Close

    Turn the knob back to close and lock it.

The truck empties it. Nobody unlocks anything.

Emptying works exactly as before: when the waste collector arrives, the container unlocks by itself, is emptied and locks again. The crew needs no phone and no key.
  • Collection crews work as they do today
  • No extra stops at each container
  • The container locks again after emptying

Your phone is the key

Everyone sees in the app only the containers they may open. Hold the phone to the lock and know right away whether it opened.
  • Access only for people invited by their organisation
  • When you gain or lose access, the app updates by itself
  • Works without signal
  • Your own history of openings
  • Optionally, every opening can be recorded with its location
  • Light and dark theme
Google PlayApp Store

You need a phone with NFC and an account from your organisation.

All your locks in one place

The Sol Console runs in the browser, with nothing to install. Managers see their locks, the people who have access and everything that happens on the ground at a glance.
  • Openings appear live
  • A map of where each lock was last used
  • Usage statistics
  • Locks that need attention are flagged
  • Find any lock quickly
  • Light and dark theme; it works on phones too

Who opens what, decided in minutes

Grant or remove access from the console, for one person or a whole street, with no keys to hand out or collect.
  • Access granted at once to many people and many containers
  • Anyone who leaves loses access immediately
  • Each organisation manages its own containers and people
  • Each manager sees and does only what is theirs to handle
  • A full record: who opened what and when, including refused attempts
  • A history of every change

What each side gets

  • Customers

    Only people with access use the containers, there is a full record for disputes and reporting, and access is changed from an office, not on site.

  • Users

    Their phone is the key: nothing to carry, nothing to lose, and containers stay clean and available.

  • Collection crews

    Containers empty as before, with no phone, no key and no delay.
