Passionate about the cradle to cradle principles INSPIJERT participated at the Cradle to Cradle Challenge 2017 with the Circular Diaper bin. The design has made it to the finals.
The amount of waste from households in The Netherlands is huge, disregarding the rest of the western world. People are more and more aware of splitting their waste into categories and are making sure their waste can be recycled. Nevertheless there is still a lot of waste that cannot be split into this system so easily.
The ‘Circular Diaper Bin’ is designed for the consumer market, but can also be used by larger nursing homes. The base material which is used is a recycled PP made from, yes you are correct, diapers! To make the bin suitable for disassembly, no glue or irreversible fixing is used. Also to reduce the amount of small parts, the design doesn’t include a lot of hinges. This product design is designed to inspire others to work on this issue of waste!
