Resource Rack
Resource Rack is an effective eco-friendly waste management bag-system for urban homes.
R.R.
Recycling rates are particularly low in apartment buildings as separation, storage and disposal of waste are inconvenient. Through functional separation, flexible storage and practical disposal, Resource Rack makes eco-friendly waste management as easy as throwing everything into the same bin.
The rack is a system, for several waste types, designed for the situation where waste most often emerges: in the kitchen. The rack can be adjusted to fit any particular household, enabling everybody to separate the amount of waste they want, where they want.
The rack enables space utilization, as flexible hangers allow the bags to expand depending on the amount of that particular waste type. With its mobile bags, the rack eases the transportation of household waste to a recycling station outside the home. When full, the bags are easy to bring with you down the stairs. After emptying the reusable bags these either go directly back on the system or into your pocket until you return home.
