Description
This container was designed to compress light packaking manually in the easiest possible way, respecting the environment. As all people do not exert the same manual force, a gear system needing a generic force to compact metallic packaging, which could be adapted to most of the population, was examined mecanically. To make that easier, the compression process is divided into different phases, each one needing a particular force range. The container design is compact, facilitating the functioning of all elements within the product and its eco-friendliness, as it rules out all kinds of artificial enery. It is a strong high-quality product, so a lot of care was put in its design, calculations and the choice of its materials. One of its main goals is to promote recycling by saving space through compression, and it was developed to attract the current user.Other information

Household waste management.
Advantages:
It promotes recycling by saving space through compression. It does not need an external energy source. The compression process is divided into different phases. Each one needs a particular force range, easily reached by most of the population. Long lifespan due to the quality of its materials and the care put into its design process. It does not need maintenance. If a piece stops working, disassembly will be easy and the mechanism will be reached without any problem in order to grease it.
