The lineup includes a standard model and a diaper bin version, which can be equipped with optional modular accessories such as an odor sealing inner bucket and swivel casters, flexibly adapting to everyday cleaning or parenting scenarios. The design addresses key user needs, improving convenience, hygiene, and adaptability with an automatic trash bag flattening system and a 1 second self returning odor blocker.

- Production Technology
- The entire series uses a metal body with a fine powder coated finish, giving it a solid structure and premium cool handfeel. The diaper bin version features a glossy plastic odor sealing inner bucket, which contrasts elegantly with the metal body and makes cleaning and maintenance simple and convenient.
The design adopts a seamless, integrated form, removing any visual redundancy. Both the metal body and accessory modules highlight geometric purity and overall harmony. - Design Challenge
- The main challenge is simplifying the trash bag replacement process and controlling odors. A builtin micro fan rapidly creates negative pressure between the bag and bin walls, automatically flattening the bag without manual effort. The diaper bin version adds a magnetic odor blocker that closes in one second after disposal, effectively blocking odors for diapers. Together, these features offer a smarter, more hygienic, and convenient waste disposal experience.
- Research
- As modern home living standards rise, consumers have higher demands for everyday items including trash cans. Traditional models often fall short in convenience and hygiene due to manual or pedal lids, weak odor control, and fixed placement. This series overcomes these limitations with a smart sensor lid, modular odor blocker and mobility accessories, and an automatic trash bag flattening system, achieving innovations in convenience, cleanliness, and adaptability in various home environments.
- Inspiration
- Inspired by the integrated aesthetics of high end home interiors, the trash can series combines artistic elegance with functional protection in parenting scenarios. Its minimalist, integrated form, creamy white and other sophisticated neutral tones, and understated and premium texture allow it to blend effortlessly into a variety of spaces, from kitchens to living rooms and parenting areas, striking a refined balance between visual appeal and practical functionality.
- Project Duration
- The project was launched in February 2025 in Jiangmen, Guangdong, with design completed in April and the series officially released on the Maitongtong flagship store on Taobao Tmall in September the same year.
- Operation Flow
- Smart Sensor Lid
It opens automatically, eliminating the need to touch the bin or bend down. This enhances hygiene and allows handsfree operation even when carrying items or holding a baby.
Low Operation Noise
The series works quietly, ensuring no disruption during nighttime or when family members are resting.
Optional Silent Swivel Casters
They allow for flexible movement and fixed usage in kitchens, living rooms, bedrooms, and other spaces. - Team Members
