The Ovetto Recycling Waste Bin, created by designer Gianluca Soldi, has been selected by the Geffrye Museum for inclusion in their exhibition Eco Home - October 2009 / January 2010.
Eco Home will offer visitors food for thought on what they can do to make small but important eco changes in their homes. At the same time they will be able to see that eco-friendly can also be chic and that aspiration towards good taste and design can go hand-in-hand with trying to help conserve the planet's resources. In fact, ecological design is now at the cutting edge of home design, with traditional products becoming ever more stylish.
Ovetto is a great example of this. The egg-shaped bin is divided into three compartments, each a different colour - for paper, plastic, cans and so on - and each compartment has a door for changing the bag and a small round lid at the top for dropping each item in. There is even a plastic bottle and can crusher on top to reduce the volume of the waste.
Ovetto Bins boast excellent green credentials in their own right. The external parts are made from ABS; the recycled ABS used for the white and coloured parts is 40-70% recycled industrial discard; while the recycled polypropylene used for the black parts inside is 100% recycled from end-user products like PCs, printers and so on.
The Ovetto Recycling Bins continue to be a favourite with Objekts customers throughout the UK and we wish them every success with the exhibition.
