Abstract

A garbage bag roll comprises a plurality of garbage bags (10IV) which have at least two garbage bag areas (16IV-1, 16IV-2, 16IV-3 and 16IV-4) which can be filled from a common side ("filling opening") and which can each be separated from the garbage bag without destruction, so that the garbage bag areas (16IV-1, 16IV-2, 16IV-3 and 16IV-4) each form separate garbage bags after separation from the garbage bag.

Description

[0001] The invention relates to a garbage bag roll, a garbage disposal system, a method for removing garbage and a method for providing a garbage bag roll.

[0002] Garbage bag rolls are commonly known as household items. A single garbage bag can be separated from the open end of a garbage bag roll, using a perforation or other weakening of the material. Other weakening of the material can be a thinning of the plastic, for example. Typically, a single garbage bag is separated by hand. However, the weakening of the material can also allow for separation using a tool such as a knife or scissors.

[0003] Such garbage bag rolls are typically manufactured in such a way that the individual garbage bags are produced separately and then folded into sheets. These sheets are then fed via feed tracks to a joining device, where one sheet is joined to another. Welding is particularly suitable as a joining technique, for example by melting (with the application of heat) and / or pressure welding (under the application of pressure). The material weakening, such as the perforation mentioned above, is then introduced into the joint. This creates an endless band of garbage bags. From this band, a band containing the desired number of garbage bags for the garbage bag roll is cut off and wound up. A paper roll or similar material is then applied to the wound-up garbage bags to prevent them from unwinding. Other fastening options are also possible.The individual garbage bags can be of a certain complexity; for example, a drawstring is usually provided on the top of an opening of the garbage bag, which is guided in a guide and / or loops in order to pull the garbage bag closed after it has been filled.

[0004] The individual garbage bags in a garbage bag roll are typically positioned transversely to the length of the garbage bag roll, so that the later opening side of the garbage bag points to one side and the underside of the garbage bag, which is closed, points to the other. The material weakenings extending transversely with respect to the garbage bag roll thus separate the individual garbage bags along their long sides. However, it is also possible in principle to design garbage bag rolls in which the individual garbage bags are offset by 90°, so that the side of the garbage bag that will later be opened is the one on which the material weakenings for separating the individual garbage bags are provided.

[0005] Everything said so far regarding garbage bag rolls and garbage bags can be implemented within the scope of the invention and in particular in embodiments.

[0006] From DE 20 2021 103 927 U1, a garbage bag roll is known which has film parts in several colors to enable a user to color-code the filled garbage bags and thus facilitate the sorting of the garbage by the garbage disposal company.

[0007] CN 107792564 A describes a garbage bag with a central partition to form two container areas.

[0008] A garbage bag with two compartments is known from CN 205312322 U.

[0009] It is the object of the present invention to promote waste separation and to provide improved garbage bags, garbage bag rolls, a garbage disposal system and a method for disposing of garbage.

[0010] The object is achieved by a garbage bag roll having the features according to patent claim 1, by a method for removing garbage having the features according to patent claim 13 and by a method for providing a garbage bag roll according to patent claim 14.

[0011] The garbage bag roll according to the invention thus comprises a plurality of garbage bags rolled up one behind the other, which can be separated from one another by material weakenings running transversely across the garbage bag roll. Each of the garbage bags has at least one filling opening for garbage and at least two garbage bag sections that can be filled via the at least one filling opening. The garbage bag sections can each be separated from the garbage bag without causing damage, so that the garbage bag sections each form separate garbage bags after being separated from the garbage bag.

[0012] The invention introduces a garbage bag as part of a garbage bag roll, which, with multiple garbage bag sections, enables the separation of garbage / waste as the bag is being filled. This eliminates the need for the user to keep multiple individual garbage bins with their own garbage bags on hand. Instead, the user can transfer a garbage bag from the garbage bag roll to a garbage bin and sort different types of waste within the garbage bag. By separating the garbage bag sections to form individual, separate garbage bags, the sorted waste can be disposed of separately according to sorting group.The fact that the garbage bag has at least two garbage bag areas can mean that it has exactly two garbage bag areas or at least three garbage bag areas, the latter can comprise exactly three garbage bag areas or at least four garbage bag areas, of which the latter can comprise exactly four garbage bag areas or at least five garbage bag areas, of which the latter can comprise exactly five garbage bag areas or at least six garbage bag areas, of which the latter can comprise exactly six garbage bag areas or at least seven garbage bag areas, of which the latter can comprise exactly seven garbage bag areas or at least eight garbage bag areas, of which the latter can comprise exactly eight garbage bag areas or at least nine garbage bag areas, of which the latter can comprise exactly nine garbage bag areas or at least ten garbage bag areas and so on.

[0013] According to advantageous embodiments of the invention, each garbage bag has a main bag wall, and at least one connecting wall is provided on the main bag wall, forming garbage bag regions. The connecting walls extend at least partially in the longitudinal direction, thus enabling the introduction of garbage at a filling depth corresponding to the longitudinal direction, and a material weakening is formed at the connecting regions for non-destructive separation.

[0014] Advantages of this embodiment may be that a normal film can be provided as the main bag wall during production, in particular also in the form of a single bag, and the connecting walls can be attached subsequently (welded, by means of welding with the application of temperature and / or with pressure).

[0015] According to one aspect of this, it can be provided that the main bag wall is an outer wall and the connecting wall has two layers ("double bag wall"), of which, after separation, one belongs to a first separate garbage bag and another belongs to a second separate garbage bag.

[0016] The advantages of these designs are that the garbage bag can be easily divided into several smaller garbage bag sections.

[0017] According to an alternative aspect, all connecting walls are provided next to one another on one side of the main bag wall. This embodiment can be advantageous in terms of production, in particular, it can be easily and thus inexpensively manufactured.

[0018] According to other embodiments of the invention, each garbage bag may comprise a plurality of individual bags providing the garbage bag regions, the individual bags being attached to a common strip (preferably in the manner of a fold) on one side.

[0019] In this case, the individual bags are arranged like a booklet and, preferably, are open on the side opposite the strip, allowing the individual bags to fan out. If necessary, a suitable, convenient trash can can be provided, in which the strip simply needs to be attached, and the individual bags can then be fanned out.

[0020] According to embodiments, the material weakenings are formed on the strip. The individual bags can be manufactured individually and welded to each other on the strip (by applying heat and / or pressure), and the material weakening can be provided simultaneously (e.g., by punching).

[0021] According to embodiments of the invention, the garbage bag areas of the garbage bags are designed differently.

[0022] Firstly, at least two garbage bag areas can be designed in different sizes; this is particularly to take into account the fact that the different types of garbage to be filled, which are to be separated from each other, do not occur in equal quantities per type.

[0023] Alternatively or additionally, at least two garbage bag sections of each garbage bag are provided with different colors. Marking the individual garbage bag sections in different colors can make it easier for users to separate waste. For example, blue could represent paper waste, brown organic waste, yellow plastic waste, etc. Alternatively or additionally, labeling can also be provided.

[0024] According to another preferred embodiment with differently designed garbage bag areas, at least two garbage bag areas of each garbage bag are made of different materials. This can depend on the waste to be disposed of. The materials can include at least two made of plastic film, recycled plastic, compostable plastic, aluminum, paper, cellulose, and hemp. The compostable plastic and / or hemp can be advantageous for organic waste, whereas it is not critical if plastic waste is itself provided in plastic film or recycled plastic. For paper waste, the garbage bag area can be made of paper. An individual garbage bag area can also be made of different materials. For example, the garbage bag area for organic waste can consist of or include compostable plastic in combination with a paper reinforcement.The optional drawstring for garbage bag areas can be made of a different material than the rest of the garbage bag area.

[0025] According to preferred embodiments of the invention, multiple types of garbage bags are provided in the garbage bag roll. Thus, there is at least one garbage bag that differs from other garbage bags. This aspect can, if appropriate, also be regarded as an invention in itself, independent of the provision of the garbage bag sections, i.e., the invention described so far. In this aspect, one type of garbage bag can first be separated from the garbage bag roll, and then another type of garbage bag. For example, one type of garbage bag can have multiple garbage bag sections, one of which is suitable for paper waste and one for organic waste; this can be accommodated in an organic waste bin. Another garbage bag can be provided for plastic waste, with a special compartment (separate garbage bag section) for glass.

[0026] According to other embodiments of the invention, the garbage bag areas are provided by individual bags that are connected to a material overhang on a side adjacent to the filling opening, at least in one area. In this case, the individual bags are arranged concentrically around the material overhang, and particularly preferably, each individual bag has a filling opening, all located on a side adjacent to the side connected to the material overhang. Thus, depending on the number, the individual bags could be fanned out in the shape of a multi-pointed star, i.e., a three-pointed star, a four-pointed star or a cross, a five-pointed star, etc. In this way, the individual bags could use the space around the material overhang particularly efficiently.After the individual bags have been fanned out, they can be easily filled individually and then separated from the excess material without causing any damage.

[0027] The connection to the excess material could each have a weakened material, such as a perforation, which would allow the individual bags to be easily separated. To further facilitate separation, it is also conceivable for the connection to the excess material to exist only over a small area of ​​the longitudinal axis. For example, the individual bags could only be connected to the excess material in one third of the longitudinal axis, e.g., the middle third. If the individual bags are equipped with a drawstring, separation could be achieved simply by pulling the drawstring.

[0028] According to embodiments, at least one of the individual bags has a folded bottom or a cross bottom on the side opposite the filling opening. This could increase the integral stability of the fanned-out garbage bag, allowing it to stand upright on its own without additional fastening.

[0029] According to further embodiments, it is provided that in the rolled-up form of the garbage bag roll, the outer and / or the inner individual bag has a connecting element that is configured to detachably connect the outer and the inner individual bag to one another. In particular, one of the two individual bags has an adhesive surface, in particular provided with a removable protective layer. Instead of the adhesive surface, interacting connecting elements such as hooks and eyes made of garbage bag material on the two individual bags or loops or protrusions that can be knotted together are also conceivable. This could increase the stability of the garbage bag in the fanned-out state by connecting the two individual bags, which are directly next to one another after fanning out, thus preventing the fanned-out star from collapsing.

[0030] According to further embodiments, at least one of the individual bags has a hole formed on the side opposite the connection to the material overhang, or a fastening element is provided, in particular an adhesive surface or a loop. In this way, the individual bags could be attached, for example, to the walls or corners of a container, thus further stabilizing the star shape.

[0031] According to further embodiments, the material overhang on the side of the filling openings has a gripping element, in particular a loop. This allows all individual bags to be moved simultaneously, e.g., removed from a container, with particular ease.

[0032] According to other embodiments of the invention, at least one garbage bag and / or at least one garbage bag area has a device-readable information carrier, wherein the information carrier is, in particular, a QR code. Alternatively, the information carrier could also be, for example, a barcode or an NFC tag. This would allow information regarding the use of the garbage bags or individual garbage areas to be stored individually.

[0033] According to embodiments of this, it is provided that the information carrier is configured to be able to cause a device reading the information carrier to output text information and / or to install or execute software and / or to call up a website or combinations thereof. In this case, the information carrier would have machine-readable instructions that can be executed on the device reading the information carrier, wherein, through execution, information on waste disposal could be received from the reading device and displayed by the latter. For example, such an information carrier could be in the form of a QR code and, by executing the machine-readable instructions, could cause the device reading the QR code to display a text stored in the QR code containing information on the use of garbage bags or, for example, waste disposal.In this way, the garbage bag / garbage bag area could facilitate access to information regarding its use for a wide range of users.

[0034] Instead of a text stored in the QR code, it would also be conceivable for the machine-readable instructions to first cause the device to receive a corresponding text via an internet connection and then output it. It would also be conceivable for the machine-readable instructions to first cause the device to install software or, if the corresponding installation has already taken place, to run this software. The software could then provide the user with information on the use of garbage bags or, for example, waste disposal. The same applies to accessing a website, which the machine-readable instructions cause the device to access. The corresponding information could be displayed to the user via the website.

[0035] The waste disposal system according to the invention comprises a waste bag roll in which at least one waste bag and / or at least one waste bag region has a device-readable information carrier, and a portable electronic communications device, in particular a smartphone. The electronic communications device has means for reading the information carrier and means for outputting a message. The electronic communications device is configured so that, upon reading the information carrier, it outputs text information and / or installs or executes software and / or calls up a website. This makes it possible to provide the user with particularly simple and detailed information regarding the use of the waste bags, since smartphones in particular are equipped with means for reading information carriers, e.g.NFC readers or cameras for capturing QR codes are widely used and typically have an internet connection and a display, which makes it easier to provide users with up-to-date and detailed information regarding the use of garbage bags.

[0036] According to embodiments, it is provided that by outputting the text information and / or executing the software and / or accessing the website, references to regulations regarding waste disposal and / or information regarding waste collection are output. In this way, waste disposal in accordance with applicable regulations and waste collection could be simplified, as the user could be provided with corresponding information in a reliable and repeatedly retrievable manner. For example, by outputting text information, the user could be informed about the type of waste for which individual waste areas or waste bags are intended, how and at what times the corresponding bags are collected, or what costs are associated with disposal.

[0037] Since the information available to users could be stored individually, country- or region-specific information would also be possible, for example. Different countries / regions may have different regulations regarding waste disposal or use different color coding for garbage bags for different types of waste. Individual information for more confined areas, such as campsites or event sites, is also conceivable, allowing the information issued to be tailored specifically to this area. For example, a separate color coding scheme could be defined for a campsite, e.g. blue for waste paper, black for residual waste, green for organic waste. The collection times for each type of waste could be stored as information, as could a description of the items that can be filled into the respective bags.This text information could thus be accessed particularly easily and repeatedly by people using the campsite.

[0038] If reading the information carrier causes the smartphone to install software or execute installed software or access a website, the stored information could be particularly easily customized and kept up-to-date, since the software or website itself could be adapted and the adapted information could thus be accessed by reading the same information carrier.

[0039] According to further embodiments, the portable electronic communication device comprises means for determining a device location and is configured to determine the device location before issuing the regulations regarding waste disposal and / or the instructions regarding waste collection, and to be able to issue the instructions regarding the regulations regarding waste disposal and / or the instructions regarding waste collection depending on the determined device location. In this way, country- or region-specific instructions regarding the regulations regarding waste disposal and / or the instructions regarding waste collection could be made available to the user based on the device location.

[0040] According to further embodiments, the access to the website and / or the execution of the software initiated by reading the information carrier also includes the entry of a value in a database. The value to be entered is, for example, linked to the garbage bag / garbage bag area. The database could be a central database outside of the smartphone that the smartphone can access. A database within the software that is installed on the user's smartphone would also be conceivable. It is conceivable that values ​​in the database could enable the creation of statistics for the party that issues, produces, or receives the garbage bags, e.g. how many bags of a certain type have already been used or disposed of. Using such statistics, the design of the garbage bags could be optimized, for example bythe number of frequently used bags is increased or these bags are made larger.

[0041] It is also conceivable that such a value could be used to enable payment transactions, for example, for the purchase of individual garbage bags or a roll of garbage bags, or for the disposal of individual garbage bags. A user account could be provided for this purpose, which could be provided by the software or website. This user account could be linked to the database. It is also conceivable that such a user account could be used to implement the payment process for future garbage bags.

[0042] In this context, it is conceivable to provide the user with a garbage bag roll whose bags and garbage bag areas are provided with QR codes that are linked from the outset to the user's user account. For example, in this case the user could scan the QR codes of the individual garbage bag areas, e.g. before they are handed in for waste disposal, and thus create an entry in the database for each one. The database could be a central database linked to the user account. A database within software that is installed on the user's smartphone and is linked to the user account would also be conceivable. Based on the values ​​in the database, for example, individualized billing could be carried out if the disposal of different garbage bags is of different costs. This would therefore enable billing that corresponds to the actual usage of the individual garbage bag areas.For this purpose, for example, discounts for the use of certain garbage bags, e.g., for organic waste, could be offset against the costs for the use of other garbage bags, e.g., for residual waste. Instead of bags and garbage bag areas with QR codes that are linked to the user's user account from the outset, it would also be conceivable for each individual garbage bag roll or each individual garbage bag to have an individual QR code. By scanning such an individual QR code with a smartphone, the corresponding garbage bag roll / bag is linked to a user account, usually to the user account of the smartphone that captures the QR code.

[0043] For example, the information carrier could be read independently by the user or by persons who come into contact with the bag to be disposed of, for example, when receiving garbage bags at a campsite or event site. Instead of manual reading by such persons, the information carrier could also be read (semi-)automatically, for example by garbage trucks or garbage collection containers, each equipped with a corresponding reader. Such garbage collection containers could essentially be imagined as similar to an oversized deposit machine or a self-service checkout with an attached disposal container.

[0044] Based on the entries in the database, statistics could be compiled, for example, how many bags of a certain type the user has already used or disposed of, and how their waste volumes and compliance with waste disposal regulations compare to other users or the user population as a whole. This, in turn, could influence payment transactions or the amounts underlying payment transactions, for example, through discounts or bonus points. It would be conceivable for users to receive discounts for future payment transactions or bonus points if they meet certain criteria, such as using or disposing of multiple garbage bags of the same type. The recording of individual usage or disposal transactions could be done, for example, by reading the information carrier or by manual input from the user or a person receiving the garbage bag.

[0045] According to further embodiments, it is provided that calling up the website and / or executing the software also includes executing a disposal analysis application, wherein the disposal analysis application is configured to be able to analyze the disposal of the waste, in particular on the basis of user information or the entries in the database, depending on the regulations for waste disposal. In this way, the analysis of the waste quantities or the disposal behavior could be carried out particularly efficiently, since the disposal analysis could be initiated by the user and the resources of the smartphone could be used for the calculation. It is also conceivable that the disposal analysis takes into account device location data that was recorded when user information or values ​​were entered into the database by reading the information carrier. This could in turn make the disposal analysis particularly precise, i.e.in relation to the applicable regulations, as different regulations for waste disposal may have to be taken into account in different regions.

[0046] According to further embodiments, accessing the website and / or executing the software also includes executing a visual identification application, wherein the visual identification application is configured to identify waste items located in visual images. Identification could be performed, for example, using image recognition algorithms or machine learning. In this way, the user who visually captures waste items, for example by taking a photograph with a smartphone, could be provided with targeted information on regulations regarding the disposal of the item. For example, a user who photographs an aluminum beverage can could be provided with information about which garbage bag is intended for the can, when and where the bag can be picked up, and what costs are associated with this.Discounts or bonus points could also be awarded based on the results of the identification process. Instead of image recognition algorithms or machine learning, it would also be conceivable for the visual identification application to recognize the item based on a barcode attached to it and, by comparing it with another database accessed by the software or website, determine the packaging material. This allows the packaging material to be used to determine which bag is intended for the item.

[0047] According to further embodiments, it is provided that the waste disposal is analyzed alternatively or additionally based on the identified waste items. For this purpose, for example, the results of the identification processes could be used by the waste disposal analysis application. This could increase the quality of the data obtained with the aid of the waste disposal analysis application, since visual identification could compensate for incorrect user information.

[0048] The method for disposing of waste according to the invention comprises: Providing a garbage bag with at least two compartments, filling at least one of the compartments, separating the filled compartment from the rest of the garbage bag, and placing the filled compartment in a garbage can / container.

[0049] Separating the filled compartment may involve leaving a single additional compartment, which is then filled and placed in a different type of garbage bin. Separating the filled compartment may also involve leaving the remaining garbage bag for further filling. Preferably, differently filled compartments are filled with different types of garbage for the purpose of waste separation.

[0050] According to one embodiment, the following additional steps are provided: Providing a waste disposal system according to the invention and reading the information carrier.

[0051] In addition, the filled compartment will be taken to a waste disposal facility in accordance with the waste disposal regulations and / or the instructions for waste collection.

[0052] This would ensure, on the one hand, that the user receives the relevant information regarding waste disposal and collection regulations, enabling them to fill the bin in accordance with the regulations. By ensuring that waste is delivered to the waste disposal facility in accordance with these regulations, it would also ensure that the disposal itself complies with the regulations, thus increasing the efficiency of waste disposal.

[0053] The advantages of the methods result from the aforementioned advantages of the respective garbage bag rolls according to the invention.

[0054] The inventive method for providing a garbage bag roll of the type according to the invention comprises determining a user group and / or a usage period, wherein, for the user group and / or the usage period, measurements are used to estimate which types of garbage occur in which quantities, and a manufacturing specification for a garbage bag roll is specified from at least two manufacturing specifications for different garbage bag rolls, each according to the type according to the invention, such that the garbage bag areas of the garbage bags have colors and / or dimensions matching the estimated quantities. The method ends with the manufacture of the garbage bag roll according to the specified manufacturing specification.For example, a different garbage bag roll may be provided for a "private household with adults" user group than for a "private household with small children," where the garbage bag roll must have a larger garbage bag section for residual waste (diapers). A distinction can also be made between a private household and a hotel as a user group, although hotels typically do not expect to have a larger amount of organic waste, but rather more paper waste. For example, a garbage bag for hotels may completely dispense with a garbage bag section for organic waste, and this waste may be classified as residual waste; garbage bag sections for plastic and glass can be combined into one garbage bag section, and so on. The period of use can also dictate which types of waste occur and in what quantities.For example, more organic waste can be expected in summer because more and / or better fruit is available, fresh vegetables are used more often in cooking, and so on.

[0055] The invention is described in more detail below with reference to the drawing, in which Fig. 1 schematically shows a bin liner roll as a whole; Fig. 2a shows a first variant of a first embodiment of a bin liner that can be provided by the bin liner roll; Fig. 2b shows a second variant of the first embodiment of a bin liner that can be provided by the bin liner roll; Fig. 3 illustrates a second embodiment of a bin liner; Fig. 4 illustrates a third embodiment of a bin liner; and Fig. 5 illustrates a fourth embodiment of a bin liner; and Fig. 6 illustrates a fifth embodiment of a bin liner; and Fig. 7 illustrates a second variant of the fifth embodiment of a bin liner; and Fig. 8 illustrates a sixth embodiment of a bin liner.

[0056] A garbage bag roll, designated as a whole by 1, consists of a plurality of garbage bags 10-1, 10-2, etc., rolled up one behind the other, which can be separated from one another by material weakenings 12 running in the transverse direction of the garbage bag roll, for example in the form of perforations. Typically, the first garbage bag 10-1 is separated from the second garbage bag 10-2 and used, whereas the remaining garbage bag roll is kept as a reserve. The embodiments of garbage bags 10, 10', 10", 10‴, 10 IV< shown below can in principle be provided individually, but are preferably provided by a garbage bag roll of the type shown in Fig. 1 shown garbage bag roll 1 is provided.
