Recycling should be fun and Ben the Bin from reestore definitely makes it look that way. Let Ben open your old shopping bags for you to separate paper, plastic, or glass from aluminum. The obvious question is: why would you want to use plastic bags to begin with? We all know how bad they are for the environment. But let’s face it: even that I always carry a reusable shopping bag those nasty plastic bags seem to sneak their way into my home once in a while. At least with Ben the Bin I can reuse them.
Ben the Bin is manufactured from 100% recycled polypropylene and comes in blue, pink and green.
Kudos to the designer since it’s hard to find a modern recycling bin made of recycled material. It’s perfect for small studios with its space saving and stackable design. The bright colors and cheeky look make Ben great for teaching kids that recycling can be enjoyable. UK product designer Max McMurdo founded reestore in 2002 while still designing cars in Cologne, Germany. His goal is to design environmental products that don’t compromise style, quality or desirability. The company now based in England sells contemporary eco design products that reclaim and recycle discarded products in a stylish way. Max is able to turn a washing machine drum into the modern lamp Silvana or an aeroplane wing into the futuristic looking table Deborah. You can watch him explain the eco-ness of Ben the Bin to the tough judges of the British show Dragons’ Den. It’s quite entertaining.
