Most people would like to be more environmentally responsible, but it’s not always easy to recycle when you’re short on space. All the bins required to sort rubbish from recyclables take up a lot of room. At simplehuman, we’re interested in products that make it easier and more efficient to be green, and so we’ve introduced a line of recyclers that have two colour-coded inner buckets; one for recyclables and one for rubbish. Our models include a butterfly recycler, pull-out recycler, and now rectangular recycler and semi-round recycler.

"Recycling is big news in the UK, but most of us don’t have very large kitchens or utility rooms in which to sort our rubbish and recyclables," says simplehuman UK Commercial Director Kevin Clark. "The rectangular and semi-round pedal bin both have a small footprint but a large capacity, so we hope that the recycler versions will help people make the most of the space they have available, and ultimately help them to recycle more".

The revolutionary internal and slim profile hinges of these space-efficient recyclers allow the lids to open without hitting the wall. The recyclers also boast a solid steel platform pedal for added durability and a fingerprint-proof finish that keeps the bin smudge-free.

To keep the lids from slamming shut, the design team incorporated lid shox™ technology to slow down the motion for a smooth, quiet close. The lids of the recyclers can stay open for extended chores, like sorting or emptying recyclables. The rectangular recycler also has built-in wheels and an integrated handle that make it easy to move.

The two inner buckets are made of durable, easy-to-clean polypropylene plastic. To eliminate messy bag overhang, the buckets come complete with the simplehuman bag tuck™, a perforated opening in the back of each of the buckets that allows you to easily gather and tuck away excess bin liner so that even oversized bags fit neatly.

simplehuman transformed the rubbish bin with the introduction of the stainless steel "butterfly" bin in 2004. Today, simplehuman's mission to make people more efficient at home has resulted in a range of more than 100 products. All simplehuman products are designed to be ergonomic, easy-to-clean and durable. All products are made with the highest quality materials and are backed by a guarantee. The company has received numerous national and international design awards including two silver awards at the DIY Week Industry Awards 2008. For more information, please visit www.simplehuman.co.uk
