Garbage Can Designs That Ditch the "Can" Part to Save Material
I agree with the plastic bag lining the bin, it helps with the smell too.
Oddly enough the old trash can versions are much more sustainable... A trash can does not "need" a plastic trash bag liner but these designs sure do... Not sure if this is an improvement.
True, but if you don't use a liner, you are having to wash it once a week or something, specially in a kitchen environment.
If you compare the mass of polyethylene used in a bin liner to the mass of its intended contents, it's usually a rounding error.
