SINGAPORE - Media OutReach Newswire - 5 August 2025 - As Singapore continues to push towards greener, smarter infrastructure, Ausko has announced a shift in focus to address these evolving waste disposal needs. The company aims to focus on product variety, hygiene requirements, and design customisation for waste solutions in different environments.According to Mr. Andrew Koh, founder of Ausko, the company's next phase will centre on:One example of this is the Big Buddy Bin—a monkey-proof bin developed and launched in collaboration with the National Environment Agency (NEA). Projects like this reflect Ausko's broader approach: responding to real-world conditions with practical, context-specific bin design.'We aim to keep pace with industry shifts and provide solutions that help clients meet both regulatory requirements and day-to-day operational needs,' said Mr. Koh.In the early 2000s, the demand for durable, wheeled bins grew in step with Singapore's construction boom and population growth. Ausko's early clients included schools, town councils, waste collectors, cleaning companies, and healthcare facilities—sectors that needed small- to large-capacity bins along with basic hygiene infrastructure.Two decades later, the demand faced today is markedly different. With a shift toward space optimisation, stricter public hygiene standards, and the country's Green Plan 2030 , the types of bins needed—and the expectations around them—have changed.To meet these evolving needs, Ausko moved beyond bin distribution and into manufacturing, setting up production facilities across countries in Asia and forming partnerships across Europe. Today, the company supplies a range of options—from recycling bins and dustbins with lids to other hygiene-focused designs tailored for different environments. These newer models incorporate features like fill-level monitoring and cloud-based tracking, which allow users to better plan waste collection routines.As businesses and municipalities seek to streamline their waste solutions while aligning with sustainability goals, these tools have become increasingly relevant. More broadly, such developments reflect Ausko's ongoing efforts to adapt to Singapore's changing urban and environmental needs.Moving forward, the company aims to continue supporting industries with products and services tailored to evolving operational and regulatory demands.Hashtag: #Ausko
