Waste Disposal Walking Sticks

The CleanWalk Walking Stick is Both a Litter Picker and Mobility Aid

— November 14, 2019 — Lifestyle
The CleanWalk walking stick works as a walking aid but is also suitable for picking up cans, plastic bottles or other waste that can be found polluting our natural environment -- especially items located within forests, parks and other remote areas. The waste, if it is large and firm enough, is picked up and left at a special collection point until those disposing of it locate a waste bin. The CleanWalk is also designed with a gauge at the end of each cane, indicating how much waste one has collected.

CleanWalk was designed to encourage natural reserves and parks to distribute walking sticks to hikers. The walking sticks are not only sustainable but double as waste disposal sticks, helping to make walks more pleasant and the planet cleaner.

The CleanWalk walking stick and litter picker is a multifunctional product and aims to help nature lovers experience outdoor environments waste-free. The product tackles remote areas specifically, addressing waste that is located outside of a waste management company's scope and encourages nature lovers to help clean up as they explore.
Trend Themes
1. Eco-friendly Hiking Gear - Opportunity for companies to create sustainable and multi-functional hiking gear that addresses environmental concerns such as waste management during outdoor activities.
2. Smart Waste Management Devices - Opportunity for companies to create IoT devices that can track waste collection and disposal in remote areas, such as natural reserves and parks.
3. Upcycling Collection Points - Opportunity for companies to create special collection points where waste is upcycled into new products, reducing waste and promoting circular economy.
Industry Implications
1. Outdoor Equipment Manufacturing - Companies specializing in making sustainable outdoor equipment, such as hiking sticks that double as waste pickers, could disrupt the hiking gear industry.
2. Waste Management Services - Companies that offer IoT waste management solutions and expand their services to remote areas could disrupt the traditional waste management industry.
3. Upcycling Companies - Companies with expertise in upcycling waste into new products could partner with waste management companies to create upcycling collection points, disrupting traditional waste disposal methods.
