Description
SLIM BIN exhibits the features of a conventional rigid bin when in use, but when folded it provides an easy transportation, taking up the least possible storage space. Its design was fully optimized to offer a folding as easy as possible and a minimum volume when totally folded. Designed according to eco-design, it is made of polymethacrylate only. This material is highly recycable, lightweight but resistant, and very versatile regarding color and opacity. It is possible to join several bins together using a clip system, in order to make recycling easier for the user, each bin reserved for a particular type of waste. The SLIM BIN folding bin is composed of 14 different pieces joined together through several systems, which form a single element: the bin body, which can be folded to take up the least possible space and facilitate its storage almost anywhere.Other information
