This is Blum's complete integrated waste solution for a 400mm base cabinet. The ECO-base system combines a full-extension drawer with built-in bins, dividers, and an odour control system, all delivered as one ready-to-install unit.
Where It Fits
Designed specifically for 400mm wide base cabinets with at least 503mm internal depth and 640mm internal height. The system uses the entire cabinet footprint, so you get maximum bin capacity from the available space. This works well in galley kitchens or where you want to dedicate a narrow cabinet entirely to waste management.
How It Works
The drawer opens on soft-close runners to reveal two 32-litre bins held securely by high sides and cross dividers. An odour trap shelf sits across the top of the bins to contain smells and provides storage for bin bags. Non-slip matting in the base keeps everything stable and can be lifted out for cleaning.
You have two motion options: standard BLUMOTION for soft-close operation, or TIP-ON BLUMOTION which adds push-to-open functionality for handleless kitchen designs.
Why It Matters
Most under-sink waste solutions waste space around pipes or leave bins sliding around loose in the cabinet. This system gives you proper organisation with bins that stay exactly where you put them. The odour control means you can keep waste in the kitchen workspace without worrying about smells, and the 64-litre total capacity handles family waste volumes effectively.
Design Consideration
This works best when you can dedicate an entire cabinet to waste management. If your 400mm cabinet needs to accommodate plumbing or other services, the full-depth requirement might be challenging. The system assumes standard bin heights, so if you prefer very tall or unusually shaped bins, this structured approach may feel restrictive.
Build Quality
Built around Blum's LEGRABOX drawer system with 40kg weight capacity runners. The bins have reinforced fibreglass handles to prevent breakage, and the drawer construction uses high-sided steel walls. The Orion Grey finish matches Blum's contemporary palette. Everything comes with a lifetime guarantee.
Options
This specific unit comes in Orion Grey with two 32-litre bins. Optional lids are available for additional odour control. The system can be specified with either standard soft-close or push-to-open operation depending on your kitchen's handle style.
Installation Consideration
The complete system arrives assembled with bins already positioned, so installation involves fitting the runners and connecting the drawer front. Your cabinet needs the full internal dimensions specified, and there's no flexibility to work around obstacles once installed.
