That's an excellent question, and one we're always happy to address directly. Yes, a significant portion of our urban trash bins are indeed manufactured using recycled materials, primarily post-consumer recycled plastics. We view this not just as a feature, but as a core responsibility.
Our engineering teams specifically design bins to incorporate these recovered materials, which often come from previously used containers and packaging. This process gives new life to plastic waste, directly supporting a circular economy and reducing our reliance on virgin plastics. The resulting products are durable, weather-resistant, and fully capable of meeting the rigorous demands of public spaces.
We are transparent that achieving 100% recycled content in every component, like certain heavy-duty lids or internal mechanisms, remains a technical challenge the industry is working on. Therefore, while the main body of many bins is made from recycled materials, some parts may use a blend for optimal strength and longevity. Our ongoing commitment is to continuously increase this recycled percentage as material science advances.
Ultimately, choosing a bin with recycled content is a simple yet powerful choice for municipalities and businesses. It helps divert plastic from landfills, lowers the carbon footprint of public infrastructure, and visibly demonstrates a commitment to sustainable urban living. We believe practical solutions like this are key to building cleaner, more responsible cities for everyone.
