Clean Trash Can Designs

These Recycle Bins by Samuel Wilkinson Promote a Pristine Lifestyle

— March 24, 2012 — Eco
One possible approach to domestic waste management is purchasing a crappy brown-colored garbage bin and expecting it to get very dingy very quickly. These Recycle Bins by Samuel Wilkinson give the consumer a little more credit and allow him to attempt to maintain a level of sanitation that borders on sterility.

This was done through the development of slick powder-coated aluminum receptacles with smooth sides, thin walls and sleek color-coded lids. Perhaps the most surprising feature of these trash cans is that they have been manufactured in the whitest of white. Any drop of leftover liquid or any crumb of unwanted food will remain quite noticeable until it's wiped clean.

With their rational rectangular forms, these Recycle Bins by Samuel Wilkinson fit nicely side-by side, and can be used separately as storage containers for a variety of other domestic purposes.
Trend Themes
1. Sleek Trash Can Designs - There is an opportunity for companies to develop sleek and modern trash can designs that promote cleanliness and sanitation.
2. Color-coded Trash Cans - Color-coded trash cans could help consumers easily identify and dispose of different types of waste, improving recycling and waste management.
3. Multi-functional Storage Containers - There is a market for multi-functional storage containers that can be used as trash cans and also for other domestic purposes.
Industry Implications
1. Home Organization and Storage - The home organization and storage industry can innovate by creating modern and functional trash can designs that fit seamlessly into any home decor.
2. Environmental Services - Companies in the environmental services industry can develop and market color-coded trash cans that help consumers better manage their waste and promote recycling.
3. Plastic and Metal Manufacturing - The plastic and metal manufacturing industry has an opportunity to produce high-quality, sleek trash cans that are durable and easy to clean.
