Hong Kong Recycle Bin
Others
How do you create a street furniture that considers not only the users, but to the people maintaining it as well?
Our design for a series of recycling bins in Hong Kong uses a collapsible design that unfolds to create a bin when in use and folds flat for transit. The humanistic design considers the ease of use for both the person setting up the bin and the public which uses the collection point. Due to the simplicity of the design, the materials used can be reduced to only plastic and bamboo, the former of which may be made from recycled plastic and the latter of which is highly sustainable.
