The ‘Emo Recycle Kit’ is an award winning ultra-chic set of recycling tools for eco-warriors. It’s sort of like garbage detailing.

When simply removing the cap before tossing the plastic bottle in the [recycling bin](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/binko-recycling-machine) isn’t good enough, ‘Emo’ includes an innovative bottle cap ring remover tool. A spray can gas remover gadget let you remove any pressurized gas remaining in discarded hairspray or paint cans. Also in the beautifully designed set is a pair of modern [carton scissors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tetra-prisma-aseptic-300-edge) for cutting up milk or juice boxes to make the flattening process easier.

The [three-piece tool set](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tinkr-toolkit) is made by Harac of Tokyo and comes in a elegant black cloth storage case.
