Braun Envi urban dustbin that converts trash to compost

Not only is this an excellent design, it is a wonderfully crafted recycling device. Keeping up with the design outlooks of Braun, they have recently launched the concept called Envi urban dustbin. This is something that will help you do your bit by “promoting composting from biodegradable waste.” What you do is, for instance, while tossing an apple into the dustbin, bio-reactive substances based on photo catalysis start rehashing the trash as compost. And you don’t even have to worry about the extremely foul smell that dustbins release because this bio-reactive substance removes odors and speeds up the process.

The company hopes to have these huge bins in public spaces where people can drop their biodegradable trash from which compost can later be collected and used. The bin is made of stainless steel, aluminum, glass, polypropylene and polyethylene. This design is the brain child of Julien Bergignat, Cecilia Jia and Johnny Chen. Nice one!
