That's an excellent and very important question. We're deeply committed to sustainability, and yes, the use of eco-friendly materials is a core principle in our urban trash can production. We believe public furniture should contribute to a circular economy.
Primarily, we use post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastics, often derived from items like used bottles and containers. This gives a second life to plastic waste, reducing landfill burden and the need for virgin petroleum-based materials. For durability and a clean finish, many of our bins feature stainless steel components, which are highly recyclable at end-of-life. We also utilize composite materials made from recycled wood fibers and plastics for a natural look with minimal maintenance.
Furthermore, our powder-coating paints are low-VOC, and we optimize designs for material efficiency and easy disassembly for repair or recycling. Choosing our bins means investing in durable, functional products that actively support greener urban landscapes and responsible resource use.
