RECYCLE RIGHT BINS
An educational recycling bin system designed for public spaces to reduce food and liquid contamination and increase recycling rates using a clean stream recycling model.​​​​​​​
It serves both the environment and public users through an eco-positive system that brings about the awareness of clean recycling. A more sustainable and educative touch point for users to practice good sorting habits with key material streams.

Project: Recycling Bin Design
Location: Singapore (SG)

Outreach:
Getting Students to Recycle Right by Ministry of Education (MOE), Singapore
Bins that promote recycling by South West CDC BRIDGE magazine (May/June 2021), page 14.
