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.
