# Style-Conscious Recycling Bins The 'RE.BIN' Encourages Recycling to be a More Stylish Experience By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2016-03-22 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/recycling-bin References: [kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/20614143/rebin-the-modern-alternative-to-traditional-recycl?ref=nav_search) & [rebinus](http://www.rebinus.com/) The design of the recycling bin hasn't changed much since its inception, until now: the 'RE.BIN' takes a more stylish approach to recycling materials. Crafted from 100% recycled plastic, the 'RE.BIN' is designed to be used with [paper grocery bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/march-packable-tote-bag) to make taking out the recycling an easier task. Currently being funded via a [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/remix) campaign, the 'RE.BIN' focuses on making recycling easier, but also a little more stylish. Crafted to look like a shopping bag, the 'RE.BIN' is elegant in design and capable of being placed anywhere a recycling bin would (and would not) be placed. One of the best parts about the 'RE.BIN' is that it's crafted much more sustainably than other designs on the market. The product is fully recyclable and made in the USA. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.4/10 - Popularity: 76% | Activity: 79% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Stylish Recycling Bins:** Designing recycling bins to be stylish and elegant. - **Eco-friendly Recycling Bins:** Creating sustainable and recyclable recycling bins. - **Convenient Recycling Bins:** Developing recycling bins that make recycling easier and more accessible. ### Who This Affects Most - **Waste Management Industry:** Developing stylish and eco-friendly recycling bins for waste collection. - **Retail Industry:** Incorporating stylish and convenient recycling bins for customers in-store. - **Hospitality Industry:** Implementing convenient recycling bins in hotel rooms and public areas to encourage guests to recycle. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sustainably Constructed Garbage Cans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rubbish-bin.md) - [AI-Powered Recycling Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/binko-recycling-machine.md) - [Rodent-Preventative Trash Bins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/group-project.md) - [Tipping Trash Can Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/niko-trash-bin.md) - [Chic Utilitarian Trash Cans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carden-the-twin.md) - [Sustainable Side Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/re-up-side-tables.md) - [Versatile Egg-Shaped Waste Bins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nextgen-waste-bin.md) - [Sustainable Plant-Based Storage Bins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/welli-bins.md) - [Customizable Garbage Cans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/totem-compact-unit.md)
