Garbage Containing Cutting Boards

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Progressive International Reinvents a Classic Kitchen Tool

— January 18, 2012 — Art & Design
This inventive cutting board created by the creative minds at Progressive International reduces the need for paper towel wipe-ups when chopping away in the kitchen. The ingenious design comes with its own included bin attached to one end of the cutting board, which is used for catching all those scraps that usually get all over your counter top during food preparation.

The collapsible bin is also made to hang over your counter's edge when in use and then fold back down flat when you need to store the cutting board, making this innovative, new version no more difficult to store than your average cutting board. At the bottom of the cutting board there are rubber feet used to keep it in place while working, preventing you from not only slipping up and making a mistake, but also from cutting yourself. This simple, yet unique, design upgrade by Progressive International is sure to make traditional cutting boards a thing of the past.
