Funneling Dustpans

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Kawamura-Ganjavian Ductpan Allows for More Precise Dumping of Dirt

— June 28, 2011 — Lifestyle
There are some everyday items that have existed for so long that they have gone under the radar for years and the dustpan was one of them, until the Kawamura-Ganjavian Ductpan, that is. This innovative re-design proves that other ordinary objects can use some contemporary tweaks.

Essentially, the Kawamura-Ganjavian Ductpan introduces a funnel component that easily directs the dirt and dust collected into garbage bags and bins. Perfect for small and quick cleanups, this unique, clever and yet entirely simple dustpan design makes sure that you don't have to clean up another mess because of a faulty and imprecise traditional dustpan.

Although the Kawamura-Ganjavian Ductpan is currently just a concept, I can see this being produced around the world.
Trend Themes
1. Innovative Dustpan Design - Opportunity to disrupt the cleaning tools industry by introducing new and improved dustpan designs.
2. Functional Redesign of Everyday Items - Potential for disruptive innovation by re-designing ordinary objects to enhance their functionality and usability.
3. Simplifying Cleaning Processes - Opportunity to streamline and simplify the process of cleaning by introducing innovative cleaning tools.
