The Obii Garbage Bin Encourages Kids to Dispose More Mindfully

— January 18, 2013 — Eco
It begins with a collection of individual pieces and ends with making eco-friendly choices regarding the disposal of household items. The Obii garbage bin is intended specifically for children to help them put more thought into the sorts of things that they place inside.

Cris Orozco's concept is a self-assembly waste paper basket that comes with 17 pieces and invites the child to complete it. Having put the time, effort and care into making the garbage can himself, the kid might be more likely to use it properly. Its lovely and floppy leafy sides are also a constant reminder of the natural world. With open gaps down its sides, the Obii garbage bin is ideal for sheets or crumpled up bits of paper that can later be transferred into the recycling.
Trend Themes
1. Eco-friendly Disposal - The Obii Garbage Bin encourages thoughtful and responsible waste management among children, paving way for more development of eco-friendly disposal solutions.
2. Engaging Children in Sustainable Practices - The Obii Garbage Bin is a creative way of engaging and familiarizing children with sustainable practices, giving rise to opportunities for more engaging and fun ways of teaching eco-sensitivity.
3. Self-assembly Waste Bins - The Obii Garbage Bin's self-assembly feature presents an opportunity for the development of more self-assembly waste bins that can encourage user involvement and lead to a more conscious approach to waste management.
Industry Implications
1. Waste Management - Industries dealing with waste management can develop more innovative solutions that can engage children and foster eco-sensitivity, opening up the market for eco-friendly waste management products.
2. Educational Supplies - Developing educational supplies that teach eco-sensitivity to children can lead to the creation of more innovative products like the Obii Garbage Bin, further creating opportunities for children-centered educational products in the market.
3. Home Improvement - Home improvement industries can leverage the need for eco-friendliness and design self-assembly garbage bins like the Obii to offer homeowners sustainable and engaging waste management solutions.
