About Patrick Cubell de Reciclatge de Cuina

Patrick és un cubell de reciclatge de cuina dissenyat per classificar els residus domèstics. Tres compartiments separats guien els usuaris perquè separin correctament els tipus de residus i afavoreixin el reciclatge. La carcassa principal està feta d'acer inoxidable respectuós amb el medi ambient, mentre que la tapa superior, la carcassa posterior i la base estan fetes de plàstic degradable. La superfície és llisa i no té racons amagats, per la qual cosa la neteja és senzilla. Un pedal obre la tapa de manera lenta i silenciosa, i la tapa torna a tancar-se sola, de manera que mai cal tocar l'interior. La tapa gira sense colpejar la paret situada darrere del cubell.

Production Technology: The Patrick main shell is made of environmentally friendly stainless steel plate, with a degradable plastic top cover, back shell and base. The surface is smooth and has no dead corners, which is easy to clean and reduces the difficulty and time cost of cleaning. In particular, it is worth mentioning that its silent open/close cover design, the use of slow down technology, almost silent when opening and closing, to avoid noise generated during use.
Design Challenge: The biggest challenge in the realization and research process is how to combine several functional points of "classified design, easy to clean, silent opening and closing, and not hitting the wall", and also need to ensure that the operation is simple, safe and reasonable, and integrated into the home environment. Ultimately, it is hoped that these functions will bring a more convenient and healthy living experience to the home.
Research: In today's increasing attention to environmental protection and sustainable development, we deeply feel the importance of garbage classification for environmental protection. We have observed that people want simple and efficient solutions to deal with the waste generated in their lives. We have integrated the concept of "sorting orderly" and "convenient life" to design this practical and beautiful 3-category garbage can.
Inspiration: In home life, the disposal process of domestic waste usually produces some very troublesome problems, such as garbage classification, opening and closing noise, garbage can cleaning, bucket lid opening and closing wall and so on. Based on these pain points, we want to explore a new garbage can product, which cleverly integrates easy cleaning, convenient sorting and silent technology, so that daily waste disposal becomes both efficient and environmentally friendly.
Project Duration: The project started in Shenzhen in October 2023 and will be completed in Shenzhen in June 2024.
Operation Flow: The operation of this garbage can is very simple and intuitive. Users only need to gently pedal the operation, the lid of the trash can will automatically slowly open, without manual lifting. After the garbage is placed, the lid will automatically return, and the entire process does not need to touch the inside of the trash can, effectively preventing hand pollution and odor.
