The 'Sortmate' trash cans have been designed by Manade for the Magnuson Group as a solution for keeping waste and recyclables seamlessly organized in the home or office.
The trash cans are characterized by their modular design that allows for compartments to be easily added or moved around. A series of color-coded lids are used for keeping the bins covered and also indicating which area is for what kind of waste or recyclable. The modular design of the bins means the orientation can be changed to suit any free space within an area for discreet placement.
The 'Sortmate' trash cans are crafted from polypropylene or ABS for the white and colored bins, while the black ones are crafted from recycled polypropylene that's also capable of being further recycled.
