Petal Bin

A step-on silicon bin that allows easy compression of the trash to reduce plastic bag uses

Trash bin can fill up quickly if waste isn’t compressed regularly. However, most people are reluctant to press down trash with their hands, leaving much of the bag's space unused. This trash can is designed to allow easy compression by foot, keeping hands clean while maximizing bag capacity.
