About • Dustbin for home and office use • Meant for simple and convenient usage • Contains 3 features - Storage Space - Hooks - Compressor
In the neighborhood… Problems we face • Overflowing dustbin • Inconvenient to clear bin • Not easy to replace plastic bag - Unsightly for other people. • Observed from surroundings • Asked from 20 people
WE HAVE DEVISED A SOLUTION Introducing the 3 in 1 Hands Free Convenient dustbin!
3 Simple features • Storage Space (Convenient replacement of plastic bags) • Hooks for securing the plastic bag • Rubbish compressor
Storage compartment • Contains plastic bags • At the bottom of the Dustbin -Dustbin contains a “false” bottom Advantages No need to waste time finding another plastic bag for replacement. The plastic bags need not be replaced regularly . Extra space at the bottom makes the dustbin convenient for users who usually do not have the habit of storing plastic bags.
hooks • Allows user to “hook” the plastic bag to the dustbin • Located inside at the top of the dustbin -opposite ends Advantages Faster and less-troublesome for user to attach plastic bag to the dustbin Convenient changing of plastic bags.
Compressor(main) • Allow more rubbish to be stored in the bin • Done by pushing the button on top of the dustbin • Advantages Users need not clear the bin so often The bottom of the compressor can be unscrewed off and cleaned Need not be done via a complicated process Eco-friendly as it saves more space for the litter so that the plastic bag can be more effectively used.
Comparison with other products “Stomp Dustbin” “3 in 1 Hands Free Dustbin” Materials quite expensive Very messy and inconvenient The plastic bag may burst -has no limit to compression Made of cheap materials Compressor only compresses a certain amount -does not burst the plastic bag
Possible problems • The rubbish might not be properly compressed due to the lack of force • The hooks might rust or weaken as time passes by • The rubbish may have sharper edged that may poke holes in the plastic bag. • The storage container may not be screwed on properly.
solutions • The compressor could be a harder or more sturdy material( therefore we chose plastic) • The hooks could be made of stainless steel or a non-rusting material which is highly durable.(etc: plastic) • The indentations could be made deeper to make the putting on of the cap easier. • The plastic bag could be hooked on closer to the bottom of the bin so that even if there are holes, the rubbish would not spill out.
Market plans • Mainly Home and Office Use -Not relevant for Industrial usage • Materials used are mainly plastic, so cost would not be high • Proposed Selling Price $20 - $25 -Profit made is about $5 to $10
