Keep Your Garbage Green

Usually, garbage cans are stored somewhere under the kitchen counter, and you probably are very familiar with this image, but what’s most annoying is the fact that you have to get used to the peculiar smell. It’s somehow understandable why something like this happens, but it’s very frustrating to be obliged to bear that smell, which is, in fact, a mixture of all sorts of other smells. Well now, Turkey-based designer Cem Tutuncuoglu came up with an idea that is meant to make our lives a little bit easier, especially when it comes to the garbage we all deposit in the cans. Actually, the Minus Frozen Garbage Container is designed to keep garbage from becoming what we most hate: smelly.

You shouldn’t take a wild guess, as the name is quite suggestive: the container does something very simple, meaning it keeps the garbage below the freezing points. And if you wonder how something like this is possible, well the container is provided with cooler grills that are placed on its sides, while at the base you can find an electrical engine. In addition, there’s an antibacterial blue light on the top of the lid which is meant to prevent the formation of bacteria.
