FEEDBACK FROM PEOPLE…
FEEDBACK FROM PEOPLE…
“To throw our things in a dustbin we need a
plastic bag. We have to keep on wasting plastic
bags everyday or we can create something biofriendly."

“It is not easy to replace the plastic bag, and if
you don’t the bin would overflow”

Picked from 20 people we asked
PREVIOUSLY…

support the weight of the plastic bag with paper
inside.

STORAGE COMPARTMENT
Contains plastic bags
 At the bottom of the Dustbin
-Dustbin contains a “false” bottom

Advantages
No need to waste time finding another plastic bag for replacement.
The plastic bags need not be replaced regularly .
Extra space at the bottom makes the dustbin convenient for users
who usually do not have the habit of storing plastic bags.
HOW IT WORKS
“It is not easy to replace the plastic bag, and if
you don’t the bin would overflow.”
 -Student B

“When the bag gets full you bend down ad pick it
up to throw it away then you have to bend down
again and put a new plastic bag that's bad for the
back.”

COMPRESSOR(MAIN)
Allow more rubbish to be stored in the bin
 Done by pushing the button on top of the dustbin


Advantages
Users need not clear the bin so often
The bottom of the compressor can be unscrewed off and
cleaned
Need not be done via a complicated process
Eco-friendly as it saves more space for the litter so that the
plastic bag can be more effectively used.
HOW IT WORKS
“To throw our things in a dustbin we need a
plastic bag. We have to keep on wasting plastic
bags everyday or we can create something biofriendly."
 -Student A

"The plastic bag is troublesome to be constantly
disposed of, because it overflows quickly“
Housewife B

Allows user to place the plastic bag to the dustbin and
ensuring that the plastic bag would not slip or tear.
 The force of compression is spread evenly on the rim so that
the plastic bag wont tear.

SIMILAR PRODUCT
“STOMP DUSTBIN”
-Works by stomping on
it
-Crushes the entire
dustbin and
compresses the
rubbish inside
Comments on the Stomp Dustbin
“I must agree. This just isn’t
practical enough. Its a nice idea but
a lot of aspects haven’t been
thought through.”
“That’s exactly what i thought when I
saw it. It would be very hard to get
the bag out of every single
corrugation.”
“God forbid you put anything
liquid or near liquid in there.
Sure you could stomp it, but
you’d have to spend the next
hour cleaning old salsa off the
wall across the room!”
“And how do you propose to keep
all the smashed up trashy bits out
of the corrugations?”
“Don't you think a bag might split when
you are crushing things inside it??”
