The Hana series waste bins provide a convenient, eco-friendly solution for both household and office environments, available in both neutral and playful colors that seamlessly integrate into any setting. This series is designed to be both décor-enhancing and functional, suitable for various indoor and outdoor settings, and available in multiple sizes for versatility. With a range of color options, it also promotes waste sorting and recycling by differentiating waste categories.

With an innovative one-click assembly and modular, stackable design, the Hana series allows for flexible configurations and efficient space usage, overcoming user experience challenges with lid attachment in similar stackable plastic bins. This innovation adapts to various environments while optimizing space during transportation and storage, reducing operational costs and carbon footprint.

Combining aesthetics, functionality, and durability, the Hana series features high-quality embedded wheels for smooth, effortless movement, catering to diverse needs in different scenarios. The ergonomic foot pedal eliminates the need to bend down, enhancing comfort of use especially for individuals with physical limitations.

In terms of style and design, the Hana waste bin modernizes the traditional resin bin with metal accents and soft, matte colors. The design highlights a matte plastic finish complemented by a stainless steel pedal and a rim featuring a brushed metallic strip, created through heated stamping for a distinctive look. Grooves on the bin's body enhance visual appeal and improve anti-scratch performance, ensuring it retains a pristine appearance over time. The use of eco-friendly recycled materials ensures the product remains environmentally friendly throughout its lifecycle, reinforcing our commitment to eco-conscious design and innovation.
