Right place + right time

Most of us want to recycle and compost properly, but our busy lives often make it difficult. The more convenient way is easier, but not always good for the sustainable future of our planet. Many homes have a trash can in the kitchen, a cardboard or recycling bag outside, and a compost bin (if there is one) under the sink. This is inconvenient and people tend to choose the easiest (read: laziest) option and throw everything in the trash. We at simplehuman have solved this problem by placing all three containers in one container. Our two-compartment bin has a recycling bin next to the waste bin. With waste and recycling in one bin, sorting waste is a breeze. You will never have to carry cardboard boxes outside in your slippers again!

We recently introduced a compost bin that you can easily attach to our bins for easy and hassle-free composting. Now you can dispose of trash, recyclables, and compostable scraps all at once during your typical post-meal cleanup! You can also detach the basket from the magnetic holder and place it on the worktop while preparing food, so you can dispose of the leftovers right when cutting. Many customers have told us how excited they are about how these products help with recycling and composting in their homes. We are glad that this simple solution contributes to a more sustainable simplehuman lifestyle.
