What design and sustainable alternative to the bathroom bin in a hotel?

We have visited many hotels during our eco-design process for our Selectibox sorting baskets. Most of our interlocutors, from the establishment manager to the maintenance agent, expressed the same need: to have a Robust, durable yet stylish bathroom trash can and by integrating as well as possible into the hotel room.

We heard this demand and designed a bathroom bin with a lid but no mechanism. QUBE is a economical sanitary bin contemporary design.

Why a bathroom bin without a mechanism?

As mentioned previously, many sanitary bins ou bathroom trash cans are not robust, they do not withstand over time the many openings and closings.
In addition, hotel customers are not always respectful. The equipment made available in hotel rooms or bathrooms is often degraded, at least it is used with very little precaution.
It should also be taken into account that lidded bins are manipulated with the feet, we do not always measure our strength.

A manager of a hotel in a large 3 * hotel chain told us that he bought twice as many bins as he had rooms. Its need is therefore 2 bathroom bins per year and per room!
We saw at the back of a 4 * hotel in a ski resort a pile of garbage waiting to be evacuated to the recycling center.

Economically, even if these pedal bins are often the cheapest on the market, the cost after several years is quite substantial.

Ecologically, products are put on the market with a very short lifespan. Most of these bins are plastic. Even if they are recyclable, a large amount of energy will have to be consumed to recycle them.

Here is the imagined solution.
