t bag

t bag by melissa mendes from brazil

designer's own words:

t-bag
trash bag for recycling
our project has 3 main concepts: 1. educate people about recycling 2. offer to the city an object of innovative design and beautiful image 3. facilitate the work of those who clean our cities.
the t-bags are garbage bags made from recycled rubber, each bag has a color corresponding to the material to be recycled, and they all have an internal structure, but are filled during the day by the trash that people put into it.
the population can participate in making this furniture because the form is given by their contents. At night the garbage collector open T-bags and throw away the trash.
